On Sam Lessin and Email
Sam Lessin, of Drop.Io fame and fortune, has built on top of drop.io (if I had to guess) a service that allows you to charge to send emails. Sam’s a smart guy. One of the few in NY who I can honestly say is well thought out. We’re in a minor disagreement over a very [...]

Searching Versus Finding
(Or where we need to go in the future of search) One of the most problematic parts of Google (and in fact, on some very basic level all search engines, including the new Facebook one), is that it’s business model is built on search plus placed advertisments in that search. At first, this seems very [...]

DNS and Speech
I just received an email from OpenDNS. I use (by myself, natch) their home service to configure my DNS, with Google as a fallback. In it was the following message: This is big: One out of every three public schools in the United States is now using OpenDNS’ award-winning Web content filtering, security and DNS resolution services.

On Taxes
I’m going to post about the New York Tech Meetup Later. (they delayed it because it is internet week) Right now, it’s all on taxes. There has been enough talk between such a variety of different people (some in the tech world, some not) about taxes. In the tech world, there seems to be a [...]
While everyone else was having a Privacy Scandal
Image by ShanaLC via Flickr I saw the weirdest thing recently. While we are all having conniptions about privacy, the last person I would ever think threw a wrench in the entire argument about having privacy. Maybe. A fairly obscure blogger (who I like to read), named Hasidic Rebel, decided to unmask himself as Sholom [...]

In Honor of Arnold and Facebook
Image via Wikipedia So Arnold wrote this piece about the growing dominance of Facebook (is that my internet home???). In honor of some of the questions he raised, I am going to throw some possibilities out about the questions of search: It might be that search is not the answer, finding is. And finding, is [...]

Flash Me! (Not really)
Image by mattwi1s0n via Flickr Some interersting articles appeared on my radar about, of all things, flash mobs. For those who do not know, a flash mob is: A flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse.

Children And Teens In the Media Space
I’m not the one for great political/legal arguments most of the time (Yell at me later about this one), but this one is makes for an interesting opener for the following thought) At what age does a minor (if at all, and if you believe in such things), get the death penalty? Not such [...]

Over-Advertisement makes me Want You!
Image by Christian Bachellier via Flickr Actually it makes me want nothing. I’m living in the age of over-advertisement. It’s everywhere, and often misplaced. My to be children, by the time they are 6, are more likely to know the cartoon character Ronald McDonald that to recongize the face of their current President. And I’m [...]
