<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry that I have been lax in updating my blog, but I got food poisoning last Friday, which morphed into a lovely bouquet of influenza due to my immune system being shot to hell, so I have been a little under the weather of late.</p>

<p>- starbucks has the largest wireless cloud in the world - they are now an entertainment channel<br />
- doing the same with internet connection as they did with music cds<br />
- war chalking / war driving<br />
- hobo culture / signs / graffity to communicate and warn one another<br />
- marks on buildings to let people know where free internet access is around the city<br />
- notion of privacy of how much of your life is public and how much is private<br />
- google is keeping track of every single search that we do<br />
- web crawler and cyber squatters flipping internet domains</p>
<p>drift.relay in san jose by glowlab<br />
"information wants to be free" = guiding moto of open source movement<br />
book called "The Long Tale" - by Chris Anderson who is the editor of Wired Magazine<br />
- digital content (sitting on a hard drive) versus brick and mortar inventory in a store<br />
- there will be a market for my work<br />
- eventually you will be able to buy the license to a piece of content that you have already paid for (cd, dvd, blue-ray, next gen...)<br />
- digital has transformed everything<br />
- google is the single largest data mining enterprise in the world - save every search until 2038</p>
<p>- google knol - is this the precursor of the CIC (Central Intelligence Corporation - Snow Crash)?<br />
- knol = unit of knowledge - go and get information and if you want more, you can pay for it<br />
- Google is giving you information that they THINK you may want<br />
- civil liberties = main concern: aggregation of personal data in commercial databases<br />
- government databases are subject to privacy act<br />
- commercial databases fall outside of privacy act, and the use of contractors has transformed law enforcement<br />
- ChoicePoint or Seisint, aggregate data from commercial transactions with public records (prescriptions, groceries, travel plans, criminal records)</p>
<p>- potential for abuse<br />
- concentrated target for hackers, identty thieves and authorities otherwise constrained by privacy act<br />
- Seisint compiled a list of 120,000 based of a "terrorist quotient", a profile they created including ethnicity and religious beliefs and handed it over to law enforcement<br />
- Florida relied on ChoicePoint to identify convicted felons registered to vote - as many as 1 in 7 were wrongfully expunged from the voters list (voter margin in 2000 was 537 votes)</p>
<p>RFID - Radio Frequency Identification<br />

<p>Privacy and Social Networks<br />
Google's Value Proposition - "is to figure out what people want, but to read our minds, they need to know a lot about us"<br />
- will pull ads containing certain keywords, but will not state what those keywords are<br />
- handed over user-records of Orkut to Brazilian government for an investigation<br />
(orkut is a social networking service which is run by Google and named after its creator, an employee of Google - Orkut Büyükkökten. The service states that it was designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships.)<br />
- censored and constrained its Chinese search-engine to gain access to that market<br />
- the Chinese government is in the process of saving SKYPE messages that pass through mainland China and now SKYPE has ended their relationship with their Chinese affiliate</p>
<p>Google Streets - recorded some random kid who saw the Google van drive by and he ended up wiping out on his bike<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In advance I am sorry if some of you know this already. I thought it was interesting and I should share.</p>
<p>So with the topic of Google I thought I'd put my 2 cents in and share what I know and have been researching actually for another class about Google. </p>

<p>Aside from its many sub-brands (Blogger, YouTube, Groups, Picasa) all networking tools, they have also created Knol &#38; orkut.</p>
<p>For me I think that it is interesting that Google has taken it to the level of joining and adding another form of social networking to the companies big resume. </p>
<p><a title="Knol" href="http://knol.google.com/k" target="_blank">Knol</a> like Wiki, allows users to post what they "know". HA-HA very clever Google. So from my understanding of Knol its basically another Wiki. </p>

<description><![CDATA[
Google added text-to-speech capabilities to some Knol articles, like the one titled “File Formats]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blogoscoped.com/files/knol.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>Google added text-to-speech capabilities to some Knol articles, like the one titled “<a href="http://knol.google.com/k/vesna-kozelj/file-formats-in-digital-photography/3k0expg5xjecw/6">File Formats in Digital Photography</a>”. You can download the MP3 as well as hit a Listen button in the top right. The quality of the speech output – I strongly suppose it’s all a software reading indeed, but asked Google for more background info in any case – is amazing. Macbeach in the comments at <a href="http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/10/audio-knols.html">Google Operating System</a> writes, “This is the best text-to-speech I’ve ever heard."*</p>
<p>Knol’s <a href="http://knol.google.com/k/knol-help/knol-audio-playback/1ng4pryc7bgdb/24">help page</a> on the subject explains, “We are experimenting with Audio Playback as an option for some knols, starting with a handful of English language featured knols ... If this experiment is successful, we may make Audio Playback available to more knols in additional languages, and additional features.”</p>
<p>Both text-to-speech as in Knol, and speech-to-text as in YouTube (experimental too right now, and only working with videos of <a href="http://labs.google.com/gaudi">some US politicians</a>), offer the ability to add capabilities to an application which may convince some people to use it just for that feature. Here are some hypothetical use cases for outputting audio in Google’s apps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read out aloud a Google Docs document, spreadsheet, or presentation</li>
<li>Read a Gmail email</li>
<li>Read a public domain book scanned as part of Google Book Search</li>
<li>Automatically translate the audio track of YouTube videos; the parts needed would be transcription (Google already has speech to text in YouTube), translation (Google has machine translation systems, sometimes working OK, sometimes not so well), and then text-to-speech as in Knol</li>
<li>Read web pages as part of Google Chrome</li>
<li>Provide audio directions in Google Maps</li>
<li>Provide the “Listen” widget for Blogspot blogs; this could also be used as a way to create machine-read podcasts</li>
<li>and more</li>
</ul>

<description><![CDATA[För jag har opererat bort en knöl jag haft i sidan&#8230; Den knölen har fått utstått det mesta]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>För jag har opererat bort en knöl jag haft i sidan... Den knölen har fått utstått det mesta under sensommaren... Dels har den punkterats... Och inte kom det tillräckligt med material ur den så de kunde bestämma vad det var förnågot.. I fredags ringde de från kirurgen och hade fått återbud och undrade om jag ville komma. Självklart sa jag... Så idag var jag och opererade bort den...</p>
<p>Det var inget aterom (en täppt talgkörtel), det var en obestämd knöl som såg ut som en (två) lymfkörtlar. Kirurgen kallade den för "tvillingcysta"... Den såg inte elakartad ut, för de brukar inte "falla sönder" som den här gjorde. Men för säkerhets skull skickades de på provtagning... Så om det är något som inte är som det ska, så får jag reda på det om ca 2-3 veckor...</p>
<p>Kirugen skar och klippte och fixade och till sist tyckte han att han var klar och sydde ihop.. Så nu har jag jättepaketet i sidan under armen... Och det sliter och drar och gör ont.. Stackars mig.. Men å andra sidan finns det de som har det mycket värre så jag ska inte gnälla förmycket... Bara lite... ;)</p>
<p>Gubben har kommit hem från Tyskland och varit ledig måndag - tisdag.. Imorn ska han jobba igen.. Fast då på hemmaplan.. Jag själv har ingen lust att jobba, men plikttrogen som jag är så åker jag väl till jobbet. Sjukskriva sig är inget alternativ för en sån som jag.. Men fortsätter jag så här så lär jag väl springa rakt in i väggen. Chefen tror att jag är stålkvinnan som klarar allt snabbt och galant, och börjar kräva lite för mycket i mitt tycke. Speciellt när jag har mycket, så kommer han med uppgifter som "måste utföras nu"... Imorse började han skälla på mig i telefon för att jag gjort ett fel och jag blev jätteledsen och sa -"skäll inte på mig för då går jag hem"... Och självklart började jag grina.. Jädrans skit. Inte ville jag det... Jag bad om ursäkt för att jag gjort fel. Dock var arbetsbelastningen hög just vid det tillfället och som mestadels ensam försöker man ju klara det ändå. Men man misslyckas tyvärr ibland. Chefen mjuknade lite och så nämndes inte incidenten på hela dagen.</p>
<p>Mötte honom på hemvägen från kirurgen och han frågade hur det gick. Och jag berättade ovan.. Han höll tummarna, sa han, att det inte skulle vara något allvarligt, tror jag det... :) Hur i h-e skulle han klara sig utan mig??? Det är både på gott och ont att man har den positionen i företaget som jag har.. Nästan oumbärlig.. Bli sjuk.. Glöm det... Jobben sparas och man får ett helvete när man kommer tillbaka..</p>
<p>Men å andra sidan har jag det rätt bra, bara att jag är så rackarns trött... Inte sovtrött, för jag vaknar pigg på morgonen, men allt tar emot.. Orkar inte riktigt som jag vill.. Nå det löser sig säkert... På något vis.</p>
<p>Kram på Er allihopa... Ha det gott!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Det är dags att vakna nu kvinnor..</p>
<p>Läser idag på <a href="http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=572&#38;a=833650">DN debatt</a> om att inte alla som blir kallade på mammografi går.</p>
<p>Det är inte en Klassfråga.. det är <a href="http://www.cancerfonden.se/templates/Pressrelease____2616.aspx">dålig information</a>.</p>
<p>Ok, det är väl en klassfråga om man ser till att det kostar 100 kronor att bli undersökt. Men samtidig så är det en billig livförsäkring. Fast så tänker inte de flesta kvinnor.<br />
Tydligen är det så att inte information finns på andra språk heller och då blir det så att invandrande kvinnor kanske inte förstår vad som står i kallelsen..<br />
Att det skulle vara en klassfråga om vilken kvinna som FÅR mammografi är felriktat..</p>
<p>Kallelser går ut till ALLA kvinnor.. att sen inte invandrande kvinnor och de med låg inkomst inte går är inte en klassfråga.. Det är upp till var och en.. samma som med cellprov hon gynekologen..</p>
<p>Jag läser också på Aftonbladet som har rubriken "<a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/kropphalsa/cancer/article3413351.ab">Mammografi - en klassfråga</a>".<br />
I artikeln står det följande, jag citerar:</p>
<blockquote><p>Rika kvinnor får oftare kontrollera sig för bröstcancer.</p></blockquote>
<p>Det jag reagerar på är ordvalet "får oftare kontrollera sig"!! Det stämmer inte.. alla kvinnor från en viss ålder blir kallade.. att de sen inte går är inte sjukvårdens fel.. inte helt och hållet.. Mycket av ansvaret ligger faktisk på kvinnan..</p>
<p>Jag blir lite arg när jag ser hur tidningarna förvanskar något viktigt till att det plötsligt är någon annans fel..</p>
<p>Jag som patient har visst ansvara här i Sverige. Så är det bara. Vill jag inte gå på en undersökning så behöver jag inte. Jag är inte tvingad.</p>
<p>Cancerfondens artikel är bra, för den belyser problematiken.. och på något sätt så ändrar DN debatt lite på den och så blir den ännu mer förvanskad av Aftonbladet, för att på något sätt skandalisera sjukvården...</p>
<p>Säger bara en sak till alla kvinnor:</p>
<p><strong>GÅ PÅ MAMMOGRAFI</strong><br />
Knölar är till för att hittas.. annars blir det som med mig.. för jag var för ung för att bli kallad till mammografi.. för nu är åldern ändrad från 45 till 40.. och hade det varit det redan innan så hade min knöl hittats innan den blev för stor.. så här sitter jag.. enbröstad och på dåligt humör..</p>

<p>Whenever I come across something interesting, I’d say to myself: ‘I need to blog about this’. But then the day goes on and I find myself getting trapped in my bottomless list-to-dos. So I am taking matters into my own hands and going just blog about the random things that I want to share. Let’s call it Kadidid thoughts. Warning: These thoughts have no common relationship. For those who knows me, my thoughts are typically random as my mind goes a million miles a minute.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has recently introduced Google Knol, Google Chrome &#38; Google Android mobile OS. Google Knol was introduced as a sort of competitor to Wikipedia. However, one can find many spam content in it. Also the Google Chrome, the web browser by Google has not found many takers. Google had kept the development of Chrome a secret &#38; its introduction took the tech community by surprise. It has some good features compared to IE &#38; other browsers. However, the interest in both the Knol &#38; Chrome is going down. Most of the prodcuts of Google are in Beta. It is not just releasing a product but maintaining it through its growth phase is also important. Google sometimes back launched Google answers &#38; had to shut it down. This shows how even a Great brand like Google finds it difficult to successfully carry on a service. Google through its vast data &#38; its core competency of Search could have made Google answers a great service. Ultimately it had to close the Google answers. Google is spreading too thin in all the areas. Google has recently completed 10 years &#38; is already attracting the DOJ Concern over its Google &#38; Yahoo ad deal. Many have expressed concern over the ad deal &#38; google will dominate the online adspace.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="body">
<p><em>"In 50 or 100 years, when the real histories of the internet get written, it will start with those two boys." - Andrew Keen</em></p>
<p>Ten years ago two students formally formed <em>Google Inc.</em> at a friend's garage as a research project. Two Stanford Ph.D. students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, started the project because they were unhappy with current search technology. Today their company is the world's fastest growing company and worth £75 billion, with more than £2 billion profit last year alone.</p>
<p>Now Google will celebrate its tenth anniversary.</p>
<p>Brands expert Simon Myers, boss at consultancy firm <em>Figtree</em>, told <em>The Sun</em>: "It's amazing that they have got to the top of so many brand rankings in just ten years. Google is a very successful because it has a clear purpose - to make searching the internet as quick and as easy as possible. They have put the user first."</p>
<p>Yet talking about the launch of Google, the company almost didn't happen as they struggled for two years to get funding for their project. But the first funding was secured when Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of <em>Sun Microsystems</em>, gave them a cheque for $100,000 made out to a corporation which did not yet exist.</p>
<p>A decade later Google seems out to world domination. Since 2001, Google has acquired several small start-up companies. In February 2003, Google acquired <em>Pyra Labs</em>, creators of Blogger, a weblog publishing platform.</p>
<p>Two years ago they bought up the popular online video site YouTube for $1.65 billion. The company just launched a new web browser called <strong>Google Chrome</strong> to challenge<strong> Microsoft'</strong>s<strong> Internet Explorer</strong>. Its online <strong>encyclopedia</strong>, <strong>Knol</strong>, is a challenger to <em>Wikipedia</em>.</p>
<p>Back in 2006, the verb, "google", was officially added to the <em>Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary</em> and the <em>Oxford English Dictionary</em>, meaning, "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet."</div>

<p><span>Answer: Another Google development.... "A knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic."<br />
</span></p>
<p>http://knol.google.com/k#</p>
<p>Some say it is an attack on Wikipedia, others disagree. Either way - intriguing to read the <a title="Knol" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knol" target="_blank"><strong>Wikipedia article on Google's Knol...</strong> </a></p>
<p>This is one way to learn how the Wikipedia community reacts. Another one is to go to the test environment of Wikipedia (test.wikipedia.org), and see what the Wikipedians are up to....</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/9/oops-google-s-knol-won-t-be-killing-wikipedia-after-all">Bron</a></p>
<p><a href="http://wikiup.nl/2008/01/11/de-strijd-tussen-wikipedia-vs-google/">Eerder</a> blogde ik al over de Google Knol en hoe deze een aanval van Google op wikipedia was. Waarom was dit ook al weer zo? Allereerst de cijfers, Wikipedia heeft een bereik van 8% (Wikipedia.com) versus Google's 30% (<a href="http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/io9.com/io9.com/io9.com/io9.com/io9.com/io9.com/io9.com/io9.com?h=300&#38;h=400&#38;range=3y&#38;site0=&#38;site1=google.com&#38;site2=wikipedia.org&#38;site3=&#38;site4=&#38;size=Large&#38;w=470&#38;w=700&#38;y=r&#38;z=3&#38;z=3">cijfers</a>). Voor Google zou Wikipedia dus een mooie aanvulling op het advertentie verkeer zijn. Wikipedia's bereik is dermate groot en divers dat affiliate marketing op wikipedia sites in de miljarden aan waarde vertegenwoordigd.</p>
<p>Mijn voorspelling lijkt uitgekomen: Na een half jaar wordt de Knol beoordeeld in <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2200401">Slate</a> als :<em>"wasteland of plagiarism, ignorance, self-promotion, and bias"</em>. Waarom is dit zo? Vanwege de financiële beloning die Google in het vooruitzicht stelt zijn auteurs geneigd in hun eentje te schrijven. De <span style="text-decoration:underline;">opbrengst</span> voor anderen neemt niet wezenlijk toe , want alleen de oorspronkelijke auteur wordt beloond.</p>
<p>Echter "<em>Writing well is hard, especially without editors.</em>" Samenwerking levert dus betere kwaliteit.</p>
<p>Op Wikipedia zijn de editors gewoon het publiek of actieve gebruikers. Echter op Knol moet er via een omweg (e-mail ofzo) contact met de auteur opgenomen worden.  Men moet de oorspronkelijke auteur overtuigen dat deze fout zit en dat blijkt lastig te zijn vanwege : EGO's.  De <span style="text-decoration:underline;">kostprijs </span>van samenwerken is te hoog.</p>
<p>Laagdrempelig wiki nodigt experts blijkbaar pas echt uit om mee te doen. Dat laatste overziet de Knol. Het is voor experts wellicht interessant mee te doen, maar er ontstaat geen cumulatieve kennisontwikkeling. Kennis ontwikkelt pas bij feedback, en editing is eigenlijk heel mooie directe feedback methode! Deze cumulatieve kennis is noodzakelijk om op kwaliteit met wikipedia te concurreren. Deze strijd van experts tegen de 'crowds' verliezen ze.</p>
<p><strong>Suggesties</strong></p>
<p>Wat kan Google doen? Allereerst beloningen richten op groepsprestaties. Hierdoor bezitten een hoop gebruikers wel de juiste motivatie om samen te werken. Ten tweede het systeem om samen te werken zo makkelijk te maken dat er geen 'kosten' barriere meer bestaat om mee te doen. Op deze manier kan de Google Knol nog gered worden.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Knowledge as in KNOL</strong> - the new Google Encyclopedia of sorts is online and after what seemed like a slow start is starting to get pretty busy.</p>
<p>I can say this because when I did my first "knol" on <a title="InternetMarketing Knol" href="http://knol.google.com/k/michael-liebner/internet-marketing/d2paj5xqtltm/2?locale=en#">Internet Marketing</a> on Aug. 1, 2008 there were only around 20 "knols" that came up when you searched for "internet marketing".</p>
<p>Right now I just checked and it had 1498 results for <span class="knol-search-query">internet marketing. Yipes... that's what I call growth spurting! Holy molee!<!--more--></span></p>
<p><span class="knol-search-query">Now, as far as what contributing a knol will do for you is yet unkown. I can't honestly say my contributed  has had any impact. I guess I will write a few more butfor the most part it seems a waste of time. </span></p>
<p><span class="knol-search-query">Maybe when Knol getsto be an authority like wikipedia and is "the authority" that may change. we'll have to keep an eye on Google Knol - and wait and see!</span></p>

<title><![CDATA[Knol, cincuenta días después]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Knol, la enciclopedia de Google (ya disponible en español), ha cumplido sus primeros cincuenta día]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://knol.google.com/k?hl=es#"><strong>Knol</strong></a>, la enciclopedia de Google (ya disponible en español), ha cumplido sus primeros cincuenta días de funcionamiento público. Es ciertamente un plazo demasiado breve para hacer una evaluación,  pero algunas constantes y tendencias pueden ya reconocerse.</p>
<p>Desde el momento en que fue anunciada, Knol, fue inmediatamente considerada como una alternativa a <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a>. Aunque Google ha negado que ese fuese su propósito, las comparaciones fueron inevitables. La diferencia más obvia es que las entradas de Knol tienen autor, y solamente éste puede modificarlas (evitando así las contradicciones, confusiones y el constante cambio de contenidos típico de Wikipedia). Un autor puede permitir las contribuciones de terceros, en cuyo caso actuará como moderador de su propio artículo.</p>
<p>Google evitó cuidadosamente intervenir como árbitro o dictaminador, dejando a los usuarios la responsabilidad de dejar comentarios o calificar cada artículo con un sistema de "estrellitas". La idea  es que funcione de manera similar al "<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank">page rank</a>" que ordena los resultados de las búsquedas en Google por su popularidad. Tampoco hay un gran plan general; cada autor puede hacer cuantos artículos desee, sobre los temas que prefiera.</p>
<p>La objeción que inmediatamente se presenta es que este sistema se presta a confusiones y duplicaciones, y que el usuario tendrá que "hacer su tarea", discriminado entre artículos que pueden tener datos o afirmaciones contradictorias. El supuesto de que una entidad amorfa y heterogénea, "el público lector", puede construir un sistema confiable de calificaciones o, poniéndolo en términos más técnicos, construir un "<a href="http://estalella.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/wikist-produccion-ciudadana-de-estandares/">consenso ciudadano de estándares</a> de veracidad", es algo que resta por verse.</p>
<p>Los resultados concretos hasta ahora son muy diversos. Hay muchos, excelentes y bien documentados artículos sobre medicina (Google confió a varios especialistas de esta área los primeros artículos del sistema, a modo de prueba, y han continuado siendo autores asiduos). En áreas más cercanas a la nuestra puede verse por ejemplo un texto, "<a href="http://knol.google.com/k/paul-timms/a-re-examination-of-foucaults-history/69nplv4n1stv/2#">A Re-examination of Foucault´s History of Madnesss</a>" que es digno de leerse (aunque habría que notar que ya fue publicado por el mismo autor en su blog privado). Otros artículos, en cambio, dejan muchas dudas sobre el futuro del proyecto: hay contribuciones con sesgos particulares (por caso, uno dedicado a "How can you be successful as a Christian single parent?", presentado por una Iglesia) y algunos que son abiertamente propaganda comercial (que, por ejemplo, ofrecen intervenciones quirúrgicas a mitad de precio).</p>
<p>No hay todavía muchos artículos sobre México. Entre ellos hay varias notas sobre lugares turísticos que resultan al menos sospechosos de promover servicios comerciales. Existen algunos artículos sobre historia que son francamente pobres, por decirlo en forma cortés, y los hay que contienen errores notables. Resulta, por ejemplo, que los mayas eran una civilización precolombina de Sudamérica y que Teotihuacan fue una ciudad de la edad de piedra en la que se originó la cultura azteca. Se echan en falta, también, referencias bibliográficas especializadas y links hacia contenidos afines.</p>
<p>Hay que tenerle paciencia a Knol.  Como no hay moderadores, el sistema de control colectivo requiere de algo de tiempo y de una masa crítica de contribuciones para comenzar a discriminar contenidos. Por lo pronto, ha conseguido algo imprevisto por sus creadores:  Wikipedia, en contraste, se ve mucho mejor y más confiable que hace cincuenta días. Tiene miles de autores, pero también miles de personas que están continuamente revisando contenidos y denunciando abusos. Sin duda es caótica, no está libre de errores, y su visión de la historia es la que existía hace cuatro o cinco décadas. Pero entre los wikipedistas existe algo muy difícil de obtener: lo que podríamos llamar una "cultura editorial", el hábito de discutir  datos e ideas, el esfuerzo de sujetarse a las políticas generales  y de dedicar tiempo a introducir y modificar contenidos, aún a sabiendas de que no es posible obtener ningún crédito ni reconocimiento. Son tradiciones que no existen aun en Knol y que no es seguro que lleguen a desarrollarse, porque su formato no favorece el esfuerzo colectivo de edición. En su lugar se halla la iniciativa individual, el deseo de reconocimiento y, también de recompensa por el esfuerzo realizado (porque los articulistas pueden opcionalmente obtener ingresos mediante la propaganda insertada por Google). Es interesante ver que los "knoleros" (un neologismo para los autores de "knoles") han comenzado, de manera espontánea, a crear <a href="http://knol.google.com/k/knol-help/indepent-knol-forums/si57lahl1w25/74#">foros</a> independientes de discusión.</p>
<p>Habrá que estar atentos al desarrollo posterior de Knol, tanto en sus contenidos como en la aparición de prácticas y hábitos editoriales. Los tendré al tanto.</p>
<p>......</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>தென்னக பிலிம்பேர் விருதில் ஜெயப்ரதா காட்சியளித்தார். இந்த வருட ஆரம்பத்தில் புருஷன் போனி கபூர் சமேத ஸ்ரீதேவி தனி ஆவர்த்தனமே ஆடியிருந்தார். அது ஹிந்தி ஃப்லிம்ஃபேர்.</p>
<p>ஆபிதின், சாரு நிவேதிதா, நாகூர் ரூமி எல்லோரும் கலைப்பயணத்தை ஒருங்கேத் துவக்கியவர்கள்.</p>
<p>கஜோலும் ஷில்பா ஷெட்டியும் ஒரே படத்தில் 'பாசிகர்' ஆனார்கள்.</p>
<p>இந்த மாதிரி ஒன்றாகத் தோன்றி திசை மாறியவர்களை Knolஇல் துட்டாக ஆக்க எண்ணம்.</p>
<p>பிள்ளையார் சுழித்தேன்.</p>
<p>சரிப்படாமல் போக, 'உன்னைத்தானே தஞ்சமென்று' ராதிகா, 'சங்கீத ஸ்வரங்கள்' பானுப்ரியா, 'அதிசய ராகம்' ஸ்ரீவித்யா, 'கீழ்வானம் சிவக்கும்' மேனகா, 'விழிகள் மேடையாம்' பூர்ணிமா ஜெயராம், 'கண்ணின் மணியே' சுகாசினி, 'சேலை கட்டும்' அமலா, 'தென்றல் வந்து' ஜெயஸ்ரீ என்று மனங்கவர்ந்த நாயகிகளைக் கொண்டு தொடராக மாற்றப் பார்த்தேன். அதிலும் ட்விட்டர் போல் சுருக்கெழுத்து கவனச்சிதறல்.</p>
<p>எழுதாமல் விட்டதை தூக்கிப் போடாமல் இருக்க Obsessive blogging disorder போய் Blogging Attention Disorder BAD ஆக வந்துவிட்டது.</p>

<p>இன்றும் கஜோல் சூப்பர் ஹீரோயின். ஷில்பா ஷெட்டி அனைத்து உலகத் தொலைக்காட்சிகளிலும் பேட்டியளிப்பவர். ரிச்சர்ட் ஜெருக்கு முத்தம் கொடுத்தால் சர்ச்சை வரவழைப்பவர். Celebrity பிக் பிரதரில் வாகை சூடியவர்.</p>
<p>ஷாரூக் இன்னும் ஹீரோவாகவே தேய்கிறார்.</p>
<p>நடனத்தில் எத்தனைவகைப்படும்? ட்விஸ்ட், வால்ட்ஸ், சல்ஸா, பாங்ரா பலவகைப்படும். இராயர் காபி க்ளபில் இலக்கியம் பயிற்றுவித்தால் கல்லூரி டான்ஸ் க்ளபில் கூடப்படிப்பவரின் இடையைப் பிடிப்பதை பயிற்றுவித்தார்கள். ஷாரூக் மாதிரி கண்ணாடி; ஷில்பா ஷெட்டி மாதிரி சகா. இந்தப் பாட்டில் வரும் ட்விஸ்ட் மட்டும் வரவேயில்லை.</p>
<p>மூதாட்டி ஜெயபிரதாவை பார்த்தவுடன் 'சலங்கை ஒலி' தோன்ற; அது 'வறுமையின் நிறம் சிவப்பு'க்கு இட்டுச்செல்ல; அங்கிருந்து நடிப்பு வராத கேஸ் என்று மார்க் போட்ட கஜோல் 'வெண்ணிலவே வெண்ணிலவே' ஆக தங்கிப் போனதில் தாவி; ஷில்பா ஷெட்டிக்கு கணவன் கிடைப்பானா ஆணாதிக்கமாக; ரோஜா நாயுடு கட்சியில் சேர்ந்து தோற்ற காட்சியை கூகிள் புகைப்படத் தேடலில் துழாவி Knolஇல் நின்றது.</p>
<p>ஒரே சமயத்தில் கமலுடன் ஜோடி கட்டியவர்கள். விகல்பமில்லாமல் ஹிந்திக்கு சென்று தொடை தெரிய கச்சை கட்டியவர்கள். சமகாலத்தினர்.</p>
<p>எல்லோராலும் ஜெயலலிதாவாக முடிவதில்லை.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Everyone that has ever been online knows Google. Google has become so big that it is not just a sear]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone that has ever been online knows Google. Google has become so big that it is not just a search engine and a corporation, but a verb. People don´t say look it up on the web, but <em>Google it</em>. So I ask the question: <em>to Google, or not to Google? That is the question. </em></p>
<p>Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin on September 7th 1998. The two students from Stanford University started Google with just 100,000 dollars. And over the past 10 years they have built it in to a multi billion dollar corporation. August 19th Google went on the stock exchange, making it worth 23 billion dollars. Today it is worth an outstanding 179,07 billion US dollars.</p>
<p>So how does Google make money? It sell advertisements associated with search keywords. Say for example you type in the word car, it will find links for you. If you look to right after you have done a search you will see the payed links, or ads. But Google doesn´t just make money with these links, Google owns many other internet sites and applications. Google make money from normal ads here as well. </p>
<p>So which web sites and services does Google own/provide?</p>
<p>Here is a list on most of them:</p>
<ul>
<li>www.Google.com          Google´s search engine. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google News          Automated news aggregator</li>

<li>Google Maps          Offers street maps, a route planner</li>
</ul>

<li>Gmail          E-mail service </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google Video          It´s own version of Youtube</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google Sites wiki          Helps small-businesses have their own website</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google Desktop          A desktop search for your own computer</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google.org          Charitable arm of the Google´s search engine</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Picasa          Software app. for organizing and editing digital photos</li>
</ul>
<ul>

</ul>
<ul>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google Moon          Shows satellite images of the Moon</li>
</ul>
<ul>

</ul>
<ul>

<li>Youtube          Google bought YouTube for 1,65 billion in 2006.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google China          Google´s search engine for Chinese users</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Google Chrome          Open source web browser</li>
</ul>
<div>Even though Google has all these sites/services it is still primarily a search engine. And is the biggest of all search engines.</div>
<div>Here is Google market share:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Worldwide              59,7%</li>
<li>USA                        42%</li>
<li>UK                          75%</li>
<li>Australia                80%</li>
<li>Belgium                 85%</li>
<li>France                    85%</li>
<li>The Netherlands    91%</li>
<li>Germany                91%</li>
<li>Spain                     99% </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>Is Google to big for it´s own good? Do we want a monopoly on internet searches? Do we want one search engine to tell us what is relevant to our searches? If Google wanted to keep some information from us they could. I doubt they will ever do that to us, but that is exactly what they are doing to the Chinese. Google China was invented for the Chines people. The Chinese government keeps a tight rein on the internet. And control what the Chinese people can and can not access. For Google to get greater access to the Chinese market they had to agree to some cencorship. Google has come under criticism for censoring its search services in China. This what the BBC had to say: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4645596.stm">Google censors itself for China. </a> Here is some more info: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_China">wikipedia, google china</a>.</div>
<div>This is Google´s response to the the criticism: <em>While removing search results is inconsistent with Google´s mission, providing no information... is more inconsistent with our mission.      </em>Every single search on Google gets recorded, every keyword saved. Google say they do this so that the can provide the <em>Did you mean: ..... </em>feature. When you type in a keyword, and change it so that it is spelt write Google remembers it for next time. These records of typed keywords are saved in a huge database indefinitely. Do you want Google to keep a record of all your searches? Some people say that each IP address has a database with the search keywords from that computer. I that is true i don´t know, but i it is true it´s not good news. </div>
<p><span style="font-style:normal;">So how does the search engine work? Well, when you type in your keyword its find web pages that have that word in them. After it has found them it has to rank them. The pages are ordered by what the search engine thinks is most relevant. But how does it think?. The entire Google search engine is basically just a bunch of </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm"><span style="font-style:normal;">algorithms. </span></a><span style="font-style:normal;">Mathematics put in a sequence to make instructions. For example, when ranking the algorithms look at how many ingoing links every page has. The more incoming links a page has there more relevant i becomes. But i doesn´t stop there. The incoming links to the incoming are also counted. This goes on and on. Thats the simple version.</span></p>
<div>Did you mean: .......   Is something that often pops up when using Google. It is a kind of spelling corrector. On online dictionary. Lets says you spell your keyword wrong, Google comes up with it believes you are looking for. This is a very helpful service that Google provides. I used it many times myself while writing this post. But have you ever wounded how the search engine knows what you meant?Do you have Gmail? If you do, did you know that Google copies all of you e-mails. Google´s privacy policy says; residual copies of deleted messages and accounts may take up to 60 days to be deleted from our active servers and may remain in our offline backup systems in perpetuity. Read this link: <a href="http://www.spamdailynews.com/publish/Google_subpoenaed_to_turn_over_deleted_Gmail_messages.asp">Google subpoenaed to turn over deleted Gmail messages</a></div>
<div>
<p>Google has lots of info. on its users. Maybe to much. They say they don´t misuse this info. I personally don´t think they are misusing it, but just the storage of info may temp third parties to get hold of this info. Some years back the US government asked Google to hand over keyword search info. Google denied to do so. Here they stood up for their users wrights, and I hope they will do so in the future also.</p>
<p>At the moment Google is building a large book library. It is helping many Universities and libraries to digitally copy there books. The idea is to make as many books a possibly available online. This is a very good thing. But what if one corporation gets hold of most of the world book online. And then starts to charge people to view them. It´s not just Google doing this, many other companies and non profit org. are digitalising books. The worlds books are from the people. for the people. They should all come together to make a digital world library online. </p>
<p>Google Earth is a very cool service. You can move around the whole world, and look at what you want. But as all technology this has also been abused. You can see in people gardens, and some people have taken advantage of this.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.spamdailynews.com/publish/Google_subpoenaed_to_turn_over_deleted_Gmail_messages.asp"></a><a href="http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/080618-121443">Google Earth Pool-Crashing Parties Latest Teen Craze.</a>You cant blame Google for this, but do you want to let everyone look at your properties?</p>
<p>This week Google launch there newest branch on the Google tree, Google Chrome. Just on day after its launch, Google´s web browser had 1% on the market. That is amazing in just one day, this shows Google power. <a href="http://www.vg.no/teknologi/artikkel.php?artid=535199">Google tok én prosent på ett døgn.</a></p>
<p>Well there are my thoughts on Google. I would just like to say, that I an not picking on Google. I use Google on a daily basis, it´s search engine, Google Earth and SketchUp. Google is a very innovative company, and come up with many helpful features. I´m just wondering if Google has to much power. Do we want one company having so much influence? Google hasn´t abused it´s power, yet (that we know of, not that I think they have). Google´s own corporate motto is <em>Don´t be evil. </em>Lets hope that is always the case.</p>
<p>Google has been alot in the media lately, here are some links to some news articles (norwegian news papers) on Google</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of today’s short blog is to draw further attention (where necessary) to three stimulating and informative articles by a senior IT expert and former Editor-in-Chief of the prestigious magazine <em>PC World</em>, Harry McCracken. The 3 timely contributions raise two separate but connected issues concerning the Google colossus: its voracious appetite for IT projects in very different fields and the recent unveiling to netizens of the beta version of Google’s penultimate tentacle, Knol, as a new (and commercial) competitor in the online encyclopedia market. (And only a few days ago the IT world witnessed the baptism of their Chrome Browser...)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">In just under a year, McCracken has shared his changing views about Knol on three occasions:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;">a basically negative reception of the announcement of the Knol project:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;">16 December 2007: Knol: ‘Google Ennui Sets In, at Least For Me’;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;">an optimistic greeting of the recent launch of the first Knol beta offerings:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;">23 July 2008: ‘Knol’s Well: Google’s Encyclopedia Looks Cool’;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;">an expression of doubts about perceived weaknesses and inconsistencies in the Knol project based on a small sample of<span> </span>comparisons between the larger number of Knols currently available and Wikipedia offerings:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;">1 September 2008: ‘Google’s Knol: So Far, Not So Good’.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have not read Harry’s evidence and arguments contained in <em>the latest</em> of these three (which provides links to the two previous articles), I strongly recommend it to you.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a title="So Far, Not So Good" href="http://technologizer.com/2008/09/01/googles-knol-so-far-not-so-good" target="_self">Google’s Knol: So Far, Not so Good.</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Of particular interest is that although, as McCracken admits, his opinion has twice veered sharply, there is a consistency in his concerns that in addition to its phenomenally successful stellar enterprises, Google has shown a tendency to launch projects which do not achieve the sort of resounding success that Google Search and Google Maps, for example, have garnered. McCracken’s reservation is that, although he still feels the <em>idea</em> of Knol is cool, on the present preliminary evidence, there is reasonable cause to suspect that Knol <em>may</em> end up as one of that second category.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Just one short quotation to whet your appetite further:</p>
<p style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;"><em><span style="font-style:normal;color:black;">“…Google is better at getting things started than finishing them. Services like <a href="http://base.google.com/" target="_blank"><em><span style="text-decoration:none;color:black;">Google Base</span></em></a> and <a href="http://pages.google.com/"><em><span style="text-decoration:none;color:black;">Google Page Creator</span></em></a> remain rough drafts at best, eons after they debuted. Even a company with resources as vast as Google can’t do everything and do everything well.”</span></em><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0.3in 0.0001pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal">In the two days following that blog article on 1 September 2008, Harry has already posted a barrage of articles about Google’s launch of the beta of their Chrome Web Browser project.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps he never sleeps.</p>
