Google Aligning Its Stars And Its Applications

Earlier this week, Google announced that they were adding the ability to “star” search results. This was added and SearchWiki was removed from the search results so that there was not duplicate functionality. The basic idea is that people like the concept of saving good search results, but really could not be bothered with changing… Read More Google Aligning Its Stars And Its Applications

Google Buzz Is Just A Baby Step

So it has been a while since the original release of Google Buzz. I figured that I would post my personal review of Buzz after some time, but I have decided against it. There are enough reviews of the functionality for you to read and argue with. While reading an interesting post from Profy, I… Read More Google Buzz Is Just A Baby Step

On The Future Of Applications, Data And Personal Clouds

Louis Gray wrote two posts this weekend that were related, but were not planned to be so intertwined. The first post was regarding the lack of interoperability of applications using the same basic data. As an example, if you look at the basic address book program, you likely cannot export the data in order to… Read More On The Future Of Applications, Data And Personal Clouds

Software Engineering Tasks: Design

Last week I mentioned receiving an email asking what a software engineer typically does. In that post, I talked about defending technical decisions. Today, I am continuing this thread by talking about design. In many companies and projects, design occurs before any development is allowed to start. This is considered “Big Design Up Front” or… Read More Software Engineering Tasks: Design

Happy 2nd Birthday Regular Geek

It was two years ago today that I started this blog and it feels like ages ago. I am not sure if year 2 was more interesting than year 1, but the blog has been a lot of fun. Also of note, this is post 299, so in a few days I will be at… Read More Happy 2nd Birthday Regular Geek

Has Google Gone Evil?

In most technical circles, Microsoft has been considered the evil empire for many years. Well, Microsoft may have a new challenger for that title as Google has decided they want to rule the world, and the blogosphere has started to notice. Google has been given a free pass for quite some time because they changed… Read More Has Google Gone Evil?

Google Reader Adds Magic

Google Reader just released some new features, including “magic”! Basically, they have added another item beneath the “People You Follow” section called “Explore”. In the Explore section, there are two goodies. First is “Popular Items” which seems to list items with lots and lots of “likes”: Now you don’t have to be embarrassed about missing… Read More Google Reader Adds Magic

RSS, Human Filters And Real Time Streams

It has been a few months since the “RSS IS DEAD!” meme popped up, but the release of some new tools has sparked conversation again. I am ignoring the people who just say that they use Twitter to get their news, because you can easily miss too much no matter how diligent you watch your… Read More RSS, Human Filters And Real Time Streams

A More Serious Look At Google Reader

Google Reader has been getting a lot of attention lately. This attention is due to the newer social features that the team has been adding. Given that my attempt at humor failed as usual and did not really explain what I was thinking. So, I decided I should write a more serious post about what… Read More A More Serious Look At Google Reader

I Love You Google Reader, But We Have Some Issues

As I have said several times before, I am an information addict. I have Google Reader open all day, and FriendFeed open most of the day (except when I really need to get work done). I must admit that I love you Google Reader. However, there are a few issues we need to work on.… Read More I Love You Google Reader, But We Have Some Issues
