the worst part was that when i called up to check the status of my order, the reps had no idea when my laptop would be ready. one rep would tell me that my laptop would ship in a week and then another would say that there were hundreds in queue and it would be until next month.<br /><br /><side rant>speaking of slowness, anyone notice how laggy blogger is nowadays? *sigh* all the more reason to host my own blog i suppose...</side rant><br /><br />the last - and by far the worst - problem was that they shipped me the laptop without installing the 802.11b/g card. at first i figured this wasn't going to be a big deal; on my t30, it's extremely easy to access the miniPCI slot. however, after much head scratching, i finally looked online and found out that i would have to pretty much take the entire thing apart to install my wifi card. i had to slide out the battery, take out 20 screws, pop out the keyboard and remove the palm rest bezel just to get to the slot. it took a good 45 minutes, but after much tinkering, i finally got the 802.11b/g in there and put everything back together. i mean, if you're going to take 2 weeks to ship a laptop, at least put the wifi card in there!<br /><br />so all in all, i'm really liking the laptop, but <a href="http://www.lenovogrp.com/cgi-bin/main.cgi?section=press&sub_section=20041208_r1_content">lenovo really has its work cut out for them</a>. if they manage to improve the purchasing experience while maintaining thinkpad's legendary quality bar, they should do quite well - but i'm sure that's easier said than done :D</p>markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110873838434503302005-03-14T23:39:00.000-08:002005-03-15T00:11:16.130-08:00best buy sucksin deciding to work at plaxo, i also signed on for a 45 minute commute, twice a day. i don't mind too much, i just use the time to listen to music, talk radio or the news. for the past two months, i've had the same cd in my stereo: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=99zeros-20&path=ASIN/B0000C3I9N/qid%3D1110873760/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1">a david crowder album</a> rose gave me (btw, it's quite good but you can only listen to the same songs so many times before you start to get delirious). so after work today, i decided to swing by best buy to look for some new music.<br /><br />i didn't do any research on what cds to buy; instead, i figured i'd just browse the selection and pick a few cds that looked promising. this proved to be a huge mistake.<br /><br />i guess i just haven't bought anything at a brick & mortar store for quite some time now (except for groceries, i still go to safeway for those). i expected it to be easy, but i had forgotten that best buy wouldn't have any customer testimonials, nor would i be able to sample any of the tracks. this realization didn't faze me at first, so i started perusing anyways.<br /><br />a few minutes later, i realized i was in trouble. best buy has strategically placed all the best sellers in one place, thus people are always able to find the hottest music in the same place. however, i hadn't listened to new music in so long that i didn't recognize most of the artists - even worse, i didn't even know what genre some of the artists were!<br /><br />well, 15 minutes later, i finally just randomly picked <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=99zeros-20&path=tg/detail/-/B0007GAEVW/qid=1110872153/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1?v=glance&s=music&n=507846">the newest jack johnson cd</a>. then, i walked around the store, waiting for something to jump out and demand an impulse buy. believe it or not, none of the gadgets were too enticing - which makes it seem that either they are stocking the wrong toys or whoever plans the floor displays is failing miserably.<br /><br />as i rounded the corner on my way to checkout, i encountered a huge line. to make matters worse, only one register was open and the employee working it didn't seem to have a clue. a single transaction took almost 10 minutes! since there were 4 or 5 people ahead of me and i didn't feel like wasting more than 30 minutes to overpay for a cd that might be terrible, i left frustrated and empty-handed.<br /><br />needless to say, i'm not going back to best buy anytime soon. from now on, i'm just buying my music online.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110523672222703992005-03-10T22:30:00.000-08:002005-03-10T23:03:46.803-08:00work is crazy and i'm liking itwith the exception of yesterday, i've been staying quite late at work. there's just so much to do! i've got tons of stuff to ramp up on, we're actively developing new stuff and i'm trying to get to know everyone as soon as possible. between all that, i've been putting in 10-12 hour days - not counting the time i spend checking e-mails before i head to work and when i work remote after i get home. hey, working at a high-intensity start-up isn't for everyone - but it sure fits me just fine :)<br /><br />why am i so jazzed? first off, everything in the system at plaxo is subject to change. if something's not working, we'll see how we can fix it; if things are working well, we'll try to make it work better. none of this "if it ain't broke don't fix it" crap. think we're crazy? go see what's made toyota a leader in the global auto industry. in a recent interview with fortune magazine, toyota's ceo likened the growth of the company to pushing a cart uphill - he felt that if the company stopped for even a moment, the cart would come flying back down the hill, taking them along with it.<br /><br />secondly, at plaxo, everyone is in it together. i'm not the only one who's got the drive and motivation to stay late and get stuff done. at microsoft, forget about it. most people pretty much do 9 to 5 nowadays, unless there is a major deadline coming soon. at google, a few people would stay late, but the "campus feel" of pulling late nights and getting stuff done was missing. during the two short weeks i was at google, i'd leave around 8 or 9 and i'd see maybe a few people on my way out. sure, there were a few diehards at the googolplex, but i got the feeling that most people were just staying for the free dinner and checking out.<br /><br />lastly, we're actually listening to customers and using feedback and metrics to enhance their experiences. we don't hail from a grand vision at the top and plan out features that won't get shipped until 2008. we take real customer feedback and implement it into the system as soon as we can get the bits out the door. we try different things and empirically figure out what works and what doesn't. it's almost like a large scale science experiment, where the outcome is a better product and happy users.<br /><br />for those who are wondering what's in the works, check out <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/01/23/BUGHAAU3TN1.DTL">this article on SFGate</a>. for those too lazy to click through, here are the interesting parts:<br /><blockquote>... "Ten years ago, people were afraid of buying anything on the Internet," said Golub, who knows a thing or two about Internet security from his days at VeriSign. "Largely, Plaxo has a perception problem. Plaxo is far safer than most of what is done online."<br /><br />So, how you gonna make money? "We've started to introduce ways to make money," said Golub, who added the firm has plenty of seed money left but wouldn't specify how much. "We're creating premium services. Cell-phone synching. Address book optimizers that eliminate all duplicates in your system. And premium support.

God really does provide in difficult times.<br /><br />then came the interviews! while interviewing these past few weeks, i've learned a lot about different corporate cultures. i used to evaluate the job environment just by gut feel; now i know to ask very specific questions regarding how open the company is, how it likes to communicate and what the corporate dynamics are like. i've always thought of interviewing as a two way street, both the employer and potential employee checking for the optimal fit. now, i realize that interviewing can serve as a deep thin-slice of a company. in other words, checking a company's website gives you a broad overview while going through an interview loop with a company gives you an opportunity to get in-depth knowledge.<br /><br />anyways, enough commentary and on to the results! as most people expected, i interviewed with the big tech companies: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">microsoft</a>, <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">yahoo</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=99zeros-20&path=http://www.amazon.com">amazon</a>. i also interviewed or chatted with a ton of start-ups (including places like <a href="http://www.technorati.com/">technorati</a>, <a href="https://www.filangy.com/">filangy</a>, etc.). in the end, i was looking for a very specific mix of attributes that would constitute the perfect job for me. the company had to have:<br /><ul> <li>commitment and transparency to customers</li> <li>a passion for revolutionizing the end-user experience</li> <li>an open environment where people are free to be different and fosters creative expression<br /></li> <li>the ability to be nimble, ship solutions quickly, and adjust to market changes<br /></li><li>extremely talented people and cohesive, productive teams</li> <li>awesome mentorship opportunities</li> </ul>after getting quite a few offers, i sat down to consider my options. in the end, <a href="http://www.plaxo.com/">plaxo</a> had everything i was looking for and more. as a bonus, they fully support my blogging activities as well - they recognize the power of keeping the door open to the community through blogs.<br /><br />i'm super excited to be at <a href="http://www.plaxo.com">plaxo</a>. for those who are wondering, the HR orientation presentation was approximately 5 minutes. now that's efficiency :Dmarkjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110043764628939902005-03-05T09:18:00.000-08:002005-03-05T09:29:24.630-08:0099 zeroes but my job ain't one - hit me!a <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/sandyk/">microsoftie</a> was inspired to write <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/sandyk/archive/2005/02/28/381736.aspx">a remix of jay-z's song "99 problems"</a> in light of events that have happened to me. not all of the song is completely accurate, but i would say it's definitely entertaining :)markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109716002012847982005-03-01T14:16:00.000-08:002005-03-01T14:58:23.813-08:00the autolink battle is overit looks like google is winning, publishers are losing and users are too ignorant to care. i've read quite a few opinions on this feature in the past few days (since setting up a <a href="http://www.pubsub.com/">pubsub</a> for the term - which, by the way, is an awesome service) and it looks like, in general, publishers are up in arms and users don't really know what the problem is. since it has been made quite clear that google doesn't care about what publishers want, it seems that the battle is over. even <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/03/01.html#a9489">scoble has resigned on this one</a>. once again, google's mindshare - or rather mindlock - on users will win out and people will just take what's given to them.<br /><br />of course, as a user, i actually like the feature. but i recognize the danger in giving a tool that kind of control and it just gives me a bad gut feel.<br /><br />the next logical step? MSN should immediately add smart tags into their toolbar - they wouldn't even have to write it, it's probably sitting around in some old, archived repository. then, when the user navigates to google.com and is about to attempt a search, the MSN icon on the toolbar should begin to blink and animate, begging users to click on it. when they do, it imperceptibly changes google's search page so that queries are actually directed to MSN search. additionally, they could even release a "security update" to IE that prevents google from blocking the smart tags like publishers are blocking autolinks.<br /><br />those who <a href="http://cheerleader.yoz.com/archives/001928.html" rel="nofollow">don't believe</a> in the slippery slope arguments are really blinded by the brand. we're not at the top of that slope, we're already more than halfway down!markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109669398553817492005-03-01T01:19:00.000-08:002005-03-01T01:29:58.553-08:00some companies are willing to learn new tricksas i was going to bed, i noticed that <a href="http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/004299.html">jeremy</a> and others had posted about the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2005/02/welcome_to_ysdn_1.html">launch</a> of <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/">Yahoo Search Developer Network</a> (YSDN). note the striking resemblance in name to <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/">MSDN</a> - i'm sure that isn't a coincidence. yahoo is really taking the lead here by not just providing web apis (which google has had for a while now), but in really creating a <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/community/">developer community</a>. a good chunk of YSDN is focused on getting the word out about user developed apps, connecting people together through mailing lists and having people share expertise through a community wiki.<br /><br />it seems that yahoo is clearly imitating microsoft in creating an ecosystem for developers; aside from fueling the creation of new and innovative user experiences, the emergence of a developer community enhances platform stickiness.<br /><br />after all, if you build it, they will come.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109654931690597932005-02-28T21:17:00.000-08:002005-02-28T23:22:28.953-08:00back from a long weekendhi everyone, i've been gone for the past few days and i haven't been blogging. i went up to seattle to do some interviews (you can probably guess who) and stayed for the weekend. it was a pretty fun trip and i got to spend some quality time with my girlfriend and other seattle friends - and of course, it's always great to make a visit on the corporate dime :).<br /><br />i hadn't been keeping up on reading my feeds so right before my return trip this morning, i synced up <a href="http://www.onfolio.com/">onfolio</a>. with only <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/public/99zeros">35 feeds</a>, i had a whopping 600+ unread items! granted, i subscribe to a few linkblogs and news feeds, but still, that is quite a backlog for only 5 days. i can only imagine what <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/">scoble's</a> aggregator looks like when he goes on vacation (he supposedly subscribes to over <a href="http://www.northernvoice.ca/schedule/robert-scoble">1000 feeds</a>).<br /><br />i spent the entire plane ride reading through the stuff i've missed the past few days and i recognized a few interesting things:<br /><ul><li>most events/products/ideas are covered simultaneously by tons of bloggers</li><li>at least 75% of posts are just links to other posts, sometimes with a short comment or two</li><li>feeds that only send synopses are really annoying</li></ul>sometimes, as is the case with google's autolink feature controversy, people are actually having <a href="http://archive.scripting.com/2005/02/27#When:11:48:04AM">conversations through posts</a> (as in, they write posts in response to other peoples' posts and so on). while i recognized the conversational nature of blogging due to the comments feature, i hadn't really seen a conversation happen between blog posts.<br /><br />this led me to thinking about how the commenting features work. perhaps instead of comments residing on the original blog, what should happen is comments on posts should actually become new entries in the commentor's blog. then there should be an infrastructure where you can move through a blog "hyper-thread", tracking the conversation. in other words, let's turn the blogosphere into a big bulletin board but instead of being centered around threads, it would be centered around individuals. in this system, comments are obsolete and <a href="http://www.movabletype.org/trackback/">trackbacks</a> can serve as the glue behind the scenes that ties blogs together. in this world, maybe sites like <a href="http://www.technorati.com/">technorati</a> will serve as directories of these "hyper-threads".<br /><br />sorry if this idea has already been done or is already underway and i'm just not in the know. if that's the case, send me a link so i can check it out!<br /><br />back to the original topic... being able to catch up on blogs on the plane was a killer experience. client side aggregators really shine through here but there are a lot of cool things about having a web based solution as well. i'm patiently waiting for a hybrid online/offline solution; i hope someone comes through sooner rather than later - and if anyone is working on one of these, let me know, i'll definitely be willing to help out.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109178360388351612005-02-23T08:53:00.000-08:002005-02-28T21:16:48.776-08:00apple is at it againmany news sites are reporting today on apple's update to the <a href="http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72303/wo/CR72pP0ubBYm2KO7PkWwFyzMB6H/2.0.0.11.1.0.6.3">ipod</a>. being an industrial design nut, i've wanted to buy one for quite a while. however, there are two things holding me back:<br /><ol><li>there's no way they are going to get me to use itunes</li><li>it only plays mp3s (believe it or not, i have quite a bit of music in wma format)</li></ol>regardless, the pricing for the shuffle and ipod mini are dangerously approaching impulse buy range for me. i may be a convert soon... although if i end up working for microsoft again, i may need to <a href="http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,66460,00.html">sneak around with it</a>.<br /><br />speaking of the shuffle, when i met scoble a few weeks back, he had one. he'd had it for over a week and hadn't loaded any music on it nor had he even plugged it into his computer. the problem was the fact that you have to load software from a CD. his argument was: if the shuffle is a storage device, why doesn't the device contain the software and bootstrap itself when plugged into the usb port?<br /><br />oh, and he was clearly content using the shuffle for its secondary purpose: a fashion accessory.<br /><br />update: a company called jens of sweden has a new player called the <a href="http://www.jensofsweden.com/MP120.asp?base=2">mp-120</a>. i want one really bad, but they aren't sold in the us yet. argh!markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109136147572748262005-02-22T20:58:00.000-08:002005-02-22T21:22:27.576-08:00need interview questions?ran across this <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WhatGreatNETDevelopersOughtToKnowMoreNETInterviewQuestions.aspx">awesome list of in depth .net questions</a> on <a href="http://www.scobleizer.com/linkblog/">scoble's link blog</a>. having worked on indigo for over a year, i thought i had pretty deep knowledge of .net, but i must admit, i started having a little trouble on the "senior developers/architects" section - nothing a little msdn couldn't fix though :)<br /><br />checking out these questions took me back to my interviewing days. after going through round after round of interviews during my senior year in college, i started at microsoft and flipped to the other side - i started running the interviews. personally, i really enjoy interviews; i have a passion for finding good people and building great teams.<br /><br />anyways, if i'm ever running interviews again and a candidate's resume claims they have .net experience: watch out, i might just fire off a few questions from scott's list. although i suppose if they've read my blog, they'll conveniently have all the answers...<br /><br />for anyone out there who is nervous about an upcoming microsoft interview: relax, it's not that bad. check out one candidate's <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnstudentflash/archive/2005/02/20/376869.aspx">recent experience</a>.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109045170924111192005-02-21T19:40:00.000-08:002005-02-21T20:15:31.953-08:00the hungry thing"feed me"<br /><br />i've now subscribed to approximately <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/public/99zeros">40 feeds</a>, including a few pubsubs, and the number is growing steadily - needless to say, i'm an rss/atom addict.<br /><br />a few years ago when i first heard about this technology, i gave a typical response: "so what?" at the time of course, i had no idea what this whole blogging phenomenon was all about and i was happy hitting news.com and slashdot daily through my browser to catch up on tech news. going around hitting a few pages each day isn't too bad, but when you start to explore the blogosphere and want to keep up on tens if not hundreds or thousands of blogs, you really start to appreciate feeds.<br /><br />then, i discovered <a href="http://www.pubsub.com/">pubsub</a> - this service is pure joy to a tech maven. if you need to know the buzz about anything on the blogosphere, this is the tool to use. in a nutshell, you choose a search term and pubsub will aggregate all posts containing that term to a convenient feed you can subscribe to. truly a market researcher's dream come true.<br /><br />unfortunately, as <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/02/19.html#a9456">scoble points out</a>, many are still clueless as to the real power behind these technologies. if you're trying to grok this stuff and would like some help, feel free to e-mail me; i'll try to point you in the right direction!<br /><br />on a related note, i was happily using <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/">bloglines</a> until i realized that it doesn't refresh my feeds as frequently as i'd like. thus, i was in search of a new aggregator and i found <a href="http://www.onfolio.com/">onfolio</a>. so far, onfolio has proven itself to be an awesome tool. since it's a client-side tool, i can refresh my feeds as often as i like and it will also work offline. it's got a great "deskbar" interface which gives me a little standalone RSS control center and it links into my browsers as well. i currently only have one workstation, but i wonder if it synchronizes my subscriptions between clients too - that would be hot.<br /><br />i've also become aware of the fact that i need to set up a link blog. it's been added to my long to do list.<br /><br />p.s. the title of this post is a reference to this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=99zeros-20&path=ASIN/0439275989/ref=sib_rdr_dp/">book</a> :)markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109015230242844062005-02-21T11:38:00.000-08:002005-02-21T16:29:13.783-08:00can blog spam be solved like email spam?i saw a great posting on the <a href="http://longtail.typepad.com/the_long_tail/">long tail blog</a> about how we might think about <a href="http://longtail.typepad.com/the_long_tail/2005/02/can_blog_spam_b.html">blog spamming</a>. before starting this blog, i had no idea there was such a problem known as blog spamming; after reading through some of the comments here, i'm all too familiar the symptoms.<br /><br />to help alleviate the problem, i see blogger is already implementing the "nofollow" tag on all links left in comments. i think that's an awesome first step. next, i see blog hosts putting up other defenses, similar to the multiple e-mail spam detection systems in place today. as anderson puts it, this is the low hanging fruit and i'm glad to hear that six apart already has <a href="http://www.jayallen.org/projects/mt-blacklist/">solutions under way</a>.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1109013735626000622005-02-21T11:01:00.000-08:002005-02-21T11:22:15.626-08:00blog marketing at work...now that i've gotten a jump start into the blogosphere, i've started collecting various feeds that i find particularly interesting (see my <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/public/99zeros">bloglines blogroll</a>). perusing these feeds, there's a theme that's making its way out of the woodwork: effective marketing through blogging is a delicate art - if not handled properly, it may very well backfire on you in the worst ways possible.<br /><br />along the way, i was linked to the <a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/">following blog</a> via <a href="http://scobleizer.com/linkblog/archives/1920">scoble's link blog</a>. i thought the post scoble linked was quite interesting and started reading the rest of the blog. it took me a while to realize that this was actually a blog put together by a group of authors heading up a new o'reilly group called <a href="http://www.wickedlysmart.com/">head first books</a>. as i clicked through and definitely wanted to buy their books - despite the fact that none of their currently available books cover new subject areas for me.<br /><br />breaking this down, i'd say the crucial play here was that the authors created a real blog about their thoughts and experiences, thereby making a connection to me, a potential customer. then they made sure there were easily accessible links to pull me through to amazon for a purchase. brilliant work!<br /><br />the real kicker of course is that their blog actually contains real content; it isn't just another corporate blog that pretty much serves as a thinly veiled attempt at getting the blogosphere to give a new product free PR. i wonder if other companies will take note and adjust their blogging strategies accordingly...markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1108924222278296032005-02-20T09:53:00.000-08:002005-02-20T10:30:22.283-08:00*blink*i just finished reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=99zeros-20&path=tg/detail/-/0316172324/qid=1108922120/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/?v=glance&s=books&n=507846">Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink"</a>. personally, i liked it even more than tipping point - and tipping point is already on my list of favorite books. i guess i'm just simply fascinated with thinking about human interactions and communication.<br /><br />over the past few weeks, i've been meeting a ton of people and going through a lot of interviews. i've always had a "gut feel" about people i meet and now that i've read blink, i'm actually conscious of where that feeling comes from. i'm also weary of scenarios where it might go wrong. hopefully, i can fine tune my abilities and become cognizant of all the snap judgments i make everyday. thin slicing... very cool stuff.<br /><br />it also made me think about the hundreds of thousands (maybe millions :O) of people who have blinked me. hundreds of people's impressions can be found in my blog's comments and even more across the blogosphere. it's really interesting how certain people focus on some things while others pick up something completely different. the real kicker is, people are so used to making snap judgments about others around the internet that it seems to be almost an involuntary reaction. if you're in any sort of profession where you need to interact with a large number of people, i would say this book is a crucial read - if you can't tell, i'm a huge gladwell evangelist now :)<br /><br />next up is "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=99zeros-20&path=tg/detail/-/0393038912/ref=lpr_g_1/?v=glance&s=books">Guns, Germs and Steel</a>" by Jared Diamond. this book has been heavily recommended to me by both colleagues at microsoft and people around the blogosphere. i'm not much of a history nut, but everyone assures me i'll enjoy this book anyways.<br /><br />someone also recommended "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=99zeros-20&path=tg/detail/-/0742516857/qid=1108922805/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/?v=glance&s=books">Disciplined Minds</a>", a book about how the corporate system affects its employees. sounds like an interesting read given the events i've gone through, but i'm curious as to whether it really applies in the internet/tech industry. anyone have opinions on this book?markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1108856786438046962005-02-19T15:29:00.000-08:002005-02-19T15:46:26.440-08:00uh oh, is autolink a page from gator's playbook?i just realized (and it's been pointed out by various other people around the web) that if you're browsing at barnes and noble and you click the autolink button, it turns the ISBN number into a link to amazon. i'm sure amazon is thrilled by this, but i would have to say that it sounds eerily similar to gator.com's offercompanion program. widely regarded as spyware, offercompanion would sometimes pop up ads for competitors while users were browsing and making purchases at other sites.<br /><br />while doing this might be legal, i would have to say that when i checked it out it made me a bit uneasy.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1108842301936152992005-02-19T11:44:00.000-08:002005-02-19T15:08:36.006-08:00search engines, toolbars and morei've spent all morning playing with search engines and toolbars. it had been a while since i'd checked out the various major search engines and i figured it was time for the all-powerful "me" search test. for those who don't know, this my term for when you plug your name into a search engine and see what comes up :)<br /><br />so i went to the big three: <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22mark+jen%22&btnG=Google+Search">google</a>, <a href="http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=%22mark+jen%22&FORM=QBHP">msn</a> and <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22mark+jen%22&sm=Yahoo%21+Search&fr=FP-tab-web-t&toggle=1">yahoo</a>. i searched for my name in quotes, took a look at the results and what follows is my analysis on these engines based on their current performance:<br /><br />yahoo was the only search engine to come up with this blog as the first result; this blog was number two on google and somehow, i'm not anywhere to be found on msn at all. all three engines return a large number of other random sites that have made commentary on the events of the past month, so i consider them equal at delivering the background noise that makes the web so great. jeremy must be pretty popular, since his account of meeting me ranks in the top few entries at each engine, but scoble seems a bit less popular. thus, in my opinion, yahoo beats out google ever so slightly in relevancy. figure in that yahoo also has cool features like links to my RSS feed and guess what? google is no longer my default search engine. hats off to yahoo.<br /><br />for those of you wondering: no, the fact that google canned me didn't factor into my decision. i still use <a href="https://gmail.google.com">gmail</a> and <a href="http://maps.google.com">google maps</a>; i simply use whatever i think is the best solution for what i'm trying to accomplish. the exception to that rule might be <a href="http://www.blogger.com">blogger</a>, but i'm doing my research on that as well ;)<br /><br />although as far as all three search engines are concerned, i have to ask: where are the "wow!" bits? it seems to me that there's a lot of cool functionality that could be delivered but is currently missing today. for example, what about pre-fetching search results? or what about allowing me to tag results? searching is great, but i'd also love the ability to sort - sort by date, sort by author, sort by popular demand, etc. msn's got a great general idea with their search builder feature, but the options currently in there leave a lot to be desired. where are yahoo and google on this front?<br /><br />i'm not saying these options should all be there by default - after all, we still have to consider people without broadband - but i wish i had these features at my disposal.<br /><br />switching gears, nowadays you can't really do an analysis of search engines without running into their partners in crime, browser toolbars. so i also downloaded each engine's toolbar as well.<br /><br />diverging a bit, there's been a lot of controversy in the past few days about the new autolink feature in <a href="http://toolbar.google.com/T3/index">google toolbar 3 beta</a>. normally as far as i'm concerned, if it makes the user's life easier, it's overall goodness. however, in this case, i see where it sparks up a healthy debate.<br /><br />although autolink is an optional feature and a user actually has to both enable it and click on it before it does anything to a page, it is very scary that it modifies the page so that the link is almost indistinguishable from other links on the page - aside from a tiny change in the mouse cursor. while i wouldn't go as far as calling this webpage hijacking nor will i get into that argument, i would comment that it is rather convenient that the default mapping service is google maps. although i can change that option, i think it's pretty obvious that a majority of users just live with the default. given the outcry against microsoft setting msn.com as the default homepage, i find it ironic that google would resort to the same strategy. i'm really curious as to whether the public will simply let this one go, much like they turned a blind eye to the privacy concerns brought against gmail.<br /><br />what i think might be interesting is if google positions autolink much like vibrant media's intellitxt, an advertising service that adds sponsored links onto specific keywords on a page. for intellitxt, the publisher voluntarily signs up and allows their webpage to get hijacked for a cut of the click through revenue. if autolinks were only available when publishers specifically allowed it and the publishers got some sort of kick back for the links, maybe they would shift their opinions on the feature ;).<br /><br />the whole autolink feature aside, the google toolbar has a few other nifty features such as being able to navigate through search results without returning to the result page and going up a directory level on the current site. i almost thought they had overlooked page translation, but then realized they had slipped it into the context menu - not where i would think to look for it. the only thing that's blatantly missing is a mozilla/firefox version, which i have to assume is in the works.<br /><br />next up was the <a href="http://toolbar.yahoo.com/">yahoo toolbar</a>. the only major toolbar that currently has a mozilla/firefox version, it brings some unique features to the table as well. specifically, the yahoo toolbar has a ton of content tie-in buttons - there are buttons for each major sports league, shopping research sites and even one for "the apprentice." there were so many options, it was almost overkill.<br /><br />in contrast, <a href="http://toolbar.msn.com/">msn's toolbar</a> is almost a lesson in understatement. the current version of msn toolbar serves up basic functionality pretty well, but seems to lack most of the bells and whistles other toolbars provide. i also tried the beta, but from what i could tell, it just added a link to msn spaces and packaged desktop search with it (i know you can install just the toolbar, but i wanted to check out the full experience). one thing i thought was nifty was that with the new msn toolbar, you can specify default search settings such as how you want to view results, your location and your default language. in general, i like msn's clean interface and neat integration with their desktop search offering. however, i do wish that using the deskbar's web search wouldn't open up a browser window; i think it should just show results in the little preview pane.<br /><br />i have to wonder if google and yahoo are also thinking about packaging their tools together like msn has. it seems to be a pretty logical step...<br /><br />anyways, after a morning of playing with this stuff, i now have way too many toolbars in internet explorer. i use firefox most of the time though, so i'm safe from the toolbar clutter and yahoo toolbar wins by default.<br /><br />all this exploration got me thinking: are toolbars the future? what happened to the idea of rich functionality through browsers? i wouldn't be surprised if internet explorer 7 had most of the msn toolbar features built-in, which would severely diminish the value of these other toolbars. additionally, although google maps proves that hacking dhtml can produce good results, is that really the way to go? i would happily download a new browser if it meant getting a richer google or yahoo experience, but maybe that's just me. msn seems to be with me here (they provide a full fledged msn explorer), but they are still ramping up on a lot of the cool services google and yahoo already provide. will i fire up a google or yahoo browser one day? i hope so.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1108752037972247732005-02-18T10:35:00.000-08:002005-02-18T10:40:37.976-08:00let's get wi-fi everywherejust saw an interesting essay posted in favor of having governments provide broadband access - check it out at <a href="http://wifinetnews.com/archives/004818.html">wifinetnews</a>. the author gives a fresh look at the debate by framing it in the dilemma of rolling out electricity to the masses at the turn of the last century.<br /><br />i don't really care if it's government or private companies that provide it;

somehow, i had missed a bunch of innovative things happening on the web - the blogosphere, for example :O<br /><br />the first thing i played with today was <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/">bloglines</a>. i may be biased since the only other aggregator i'd used was a .net app called sharpreader, but i think bloglines is great. it gives me the exact features i need and has some extra ones too. i can now quickly browse the feeds i'm interested in and "clip" entries that i find interesting for future reference. plus, the entire system is on the web so all of your feeds and clips are available from any terminal. if this weren't cool enough, they also provide firefox plug-ins that are really neat like the bloglines toolkit and livelines. the toolkit has a ton of "nice to have" functionality and integrates very smoothly with the browser. meanwhile, livelines just makes your life easier when browsing and subscribing to feeds.<br /><br />next, i checked out <a href="http://del.icio.us/">del.icio.us</a>. again, very cool stuff. basically, del.icio.us allows users to tag websites (kind of like providing your own meta data for a site) and these tags are shared with all other users. together, the community is able to create tag topics which someone can then browse by and retrieve all sites marked with that particular tag. as a bonus, your bookmarks are now portable since they are stored on del.icio.us' servers. there seemed to be a cool feature called the inbox where you could monitor new entries for specific tags, but i couldn't get it to work - maybe it's still in progress. nevertheless, i think this app has potential for a lot of interesting scenarios.<br /><br />finally, i just finished playing with <a href="http://www.technorati.com/">technorati</a>. searching through blogs is neat, but the real power is that technorati is indexing in realtime. as in, as soon as a post goes up, you can see it in search results. then, they also have a feature called "watchlists." they let you specify a url or keywords that you want to monitor and then they create a rss feed that aggregates and republishes links to entries that match the supplied address or terms - it's like a continuously updated, saved search. i see they also announced a tagging feature, but i don't see it integrated into the main user experience yet; i'm sure they are working on it. a little twist here is that instead of having users tag pages, they seem to be having blog owners tagging their own pages using the tag.<br /><br />i also spent some time playing with <a href="http://flickr.com/">flickr</a> (as i mentioned in a previous post :)), <a href="http://www.pluck.com/">pluck</a>, <a href="http://www.rojo.com/">rojo</a> and <a href="http://www.filangy.com/">filangy</a>. filangy seems to be invite only for now, so if you really want to check it out, leave me a comment or e-mail me.<br /><br />i'm sure lots of people out there are playing with these products as well. what do you think about these nifty tools?markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1108583694852502902005-02-16T11:54:00.000-08:002005-02-16T11:54:54.853-08:00my blog's stats<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000;

i attribute that to news.com and slashdot. the little traffic bump in january was when i had originally unpublished and republished my blog entries. at the time, i was amazed at getting a few thousand hits - little did i know a few weeks later, i would be getting 100k hits.<br /><br />surprisingly, i had to go to a third party site, <a href = "http://www.statcounter.com/">statcounter</a>, to get web metrics; blogger doesn't have any sort of functionality built-in. i had to take a supplied snippet of code and put it my blogger template manually. while this is not a problem for tech savvy users, i'd imagine average users might get frustrated while trying to add a simple counter to her blog. <br /><br />also, blogger only has built-in support for atom feeds and doesn't give you stats on that either. <br /><br />i want stats for my blog! i hope the blogger team is reading :)<br /><br />btw, i'm posting this entry from <a href ="http://www.flickr.com">flickr</a> (and they are hosting the graphic above too). i'd heard a lot of great things about flickr and so far, i've been impressed. cool stuff, props to ludicorp!</p>markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1108578544234205832005-02-16T09:58:00.000-08:002005-02-16T20:05:06.013-08:00adsense works!just checked my adsense account today and i've already racked up enough money to get paid. as alekkomar mentions in my blog's comments, my first check goes out to Celiac Disease research. looks like adsense really does work, although i wonder what the revenue share is. i've heard people around the web complaining that they don't make as much as they used to and i wonder if that's because google adjusted the revenue share or if advertisers are bidding less per click.<br /><br />either way, my google ads are far outshining the amazon associates links i put up. so far, i think i've only made a few bucks on the amazon links.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02302354538070082594noreply@blogger.com11
