How javascript will bring on a paradigm shift and a period of unprecedented innovation ... - 1 views

    Isn't this idea soooo 2009? ;) Actually, I quite agree and am very excited about the possibilities. Bent opened this idea to me last year when we were talking about the PNRP protocol already available on Windows machines. I've another friend doing similar things with XMPP and JavaScript (no, not Wave). This is indeed exciting. I wonder how many will jump directly to this architecture as their new hammer? I imagine a lot. It will probably overcomplicate things for a little while. I would really rather see more use of DDD/CQRS (http://groups.google.com/group/dddcqrs). It seems to have a bit more utility in the HTML5 landscape. Time will tell. Cheers! Ryan

Exclusive: First Look at Blue Spruce, IBM's Next Generation Browser Platform - 3 views

  • - Uses the WebKit Open Source Browser Engine (in the demo we saw, Safari was the browser being used) - Uses the following Open standards: HTML, JavaScript, CSS, (All Ajax), XMPP, H.264 - Server runs on Linux, MacOS X - Utilized OpenAjax Metadata Specification, so it can utilize any widgets - It's being ported to IE 6+ and Firefox
  • To be clear, IBM is not developing another browser. The client part of this project is based on a set of browser-based open standards technologies. They will in time (2010 timeframe) be integrated into existing browsers such as Safari, Firefox and IE.

  • The grand plan for IBM, we think, is that it wants the browser to become the platform for applications

    maybe we need a new browser?

    I really should 'share' this to alerts management feature post in this group if I could do so easily I would. I run gmail in my browser to do 'alerts managment' something it does very poorly in concert with the variety of implementations of alerts from each socnet, this is something that can and should be improved

Evri Acquires Radar Networks In Semantic Search Consolidation - 8 views

  • Evri Acquires Radar Networks In Semantic Search Consolidation 10 Comments Share6 Buzz it by Erick Schonfeld on Mar 11, 2010 After shopping itself around to all the major search engines, Radar Networks finally found a buyer in another semantic search startup. Today, Evri is announcing that it will be acquiring Radar Networks, along with its core technical team and its main product, Twine. Rumors surfaced yesterday on ReadWriteWeb that Evri was being acquired, but that is not the case. Evri is the acquirer. I spoke with both CEOs this morning. They would not disclose the terms of the deal, but it is safe to assume that it was largely an equity-based transaction. Both Evri and Radar Networks share Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital as their largest shareholder. Radar has raised $24 million in total capital, while Evri has raised $8 million. (At least that is what has been publicly disclosed. Paul Allen has poured much more money into Evri almost single-handedly, perhaps even more than Radar raised). Radar was unable to raise more during the recession and kept pushing out the release of its next product, T2, an ambitious project to create a semantic index of the Web. Using this semantic index, T2 can do a better job understanding what each Web page it indexes is about.

    I think that's great news... Seriously, I do. Evri is really a very nice product.
  •  
    It's a really great match! Let's hope they do something great!
  •  
    I've begun to use it to do lots of Search. I find it to be a much more interesting experience with great results over Google. I think the Evri + Twine result is a terrific match and will provide others some of the semantic tools to build onto the semantic web.
  •  
    Good to know, Jack. Please share if you find good examples of such searches with "great results over Google". Today I seem to have problems signing in (with Chrome - but it works with Firefox), so I suppose they are making some changes. I'm having some problems with the collections: can't find how to create a new collection or edit an existing one. Have you been using collections yet? Do they work for you?
  •  
    Do you have the iPhone app. for Evri - EvriVerse? Very interesting. It uses the mapping that I wrote about in my letter to all of this group today in response to the Twain letter.

Bookmarks and other Google products : Troubleshooting bookmarks and lists - Bookmarks Help - 3 views

  • Google Bookmarks currently supports Google Maps, Google Toolbar, and Google Web Search. Items you bookmark or star in any of these products will appear on your Google Bookmarks home page, where you can add labels or organize them in lists. If you currently use another program or application to create bookmarks, you can use a bookmarklet to easily create Google Bookmarks instead. Drag this bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks bar: Google Bookmark Any time you visit a webpage that you want to save to your Google Bookmarks page, simply click the bookmarklet in the bookmarks bar.

    and look--a bookmarklet. Now where have we seen THAT before?

    I'm pretty excited about Google doing this finally. But how about the Diigo lists? You seemed pretty excited about them at some point. Did you make any use of them? I only see the "top 10 european retailers" in your public lists.
  •  
    Lists can have sections: once you've created a list, you can organize it, ie move items up and down just as with Diigo lists, but you can also create sections and then move items to those sections. Now can you have subsections? Apparently not. Well, one level of subsections may be good enough after all.

    another project waiting for attention. I had all sorts of good intentions to explore 'lists', but have gotten really busy at work these days--typical 'right-sizing' actions by my employer have cut design staff to save money, while at the same time, pressuring the sales-force to bring in more business, meaning more efforts required by fewer bodies, under increased pressure to perform under tightened time constraints. this fish has no time to swim--too occupied dodging sharks! I am hoping that lists on google become more functional--as it is now, you have to bookmark first, then go to your bookmarks page to share to a list. they shoulda bought Twine just to learn that one!
