I was reading an article by Tom Foremski at www.zdnet.com about Google and found it quite interesting.
Some quotes:
“Did you know that Google keeps a copy of every piece of data it ever comes across? That includes every web page (without images), search terms, and usage data such as time of day, IP address, etc. Google’s head of engineering told me more than two years ago that all the data gets saved onto onto tapes and is shipped to a storage facility. What will you do with that data I asked? We don’t know was the answer.”
I have seen Googleguy at webmaterworld say many times that they horde data. I don’t know what they could do with this data but it is scary. With all the new google tools like gmail and the toolbar they know who you are and what you are doing.

I was just reading Jeremy Zawodny’s blog and I noticed that he has “Spread the word:” and after that links to technorati.com, del.icio.us, digg and reddit. That is actually a good idea to get your blog more exposure. People don’t have to go to these sites they just have an easy click to go right to them when they may not do it otherwise because they just did not think of it or it was a hassle. He should also put a little link saying what each are for.
In case you don’t know what the are:
Technorati
del.icio.us
digg
reddit

Wikipedia has added V7ndotcom Elursrebmem and it is being considered for deletion. There are some that believe that now anybody with a contest can get a entry into wikipedia. I personaly think it should stay. This is a big topic in our wolrd right now. Wikipedia should have it listed it is part of net history. Reguardless of what you think of the guy putting it on.

I thought this was pretty funny. You can read rss feeds anywhere now.

I just read an article that said www.myspace.com is sending out Cease & Desist To MySpace Domain Sites like myspacecity.com. Seems like everytime a company starts to get big they like to bully the little guys.

I read an article that said burned CD’s are not good after several years. It said that ones you buy at the store will last a lot longer but the ones you burn at home will not and there is very little you can do about it. Most people get the cheapest CD’s they can find and those are the ones that only last 2 years. So back to tape is the conclusion. Even hard drives don’t last very long.
