Leaving Search Engine Watch

Leaving Search Engine Watch: little known fact: Danny Sullivan was one of the very, very first people to get me hooked on to the Internet as a career. Story: when I was just 16, I did a summer internship at the Orange County Register. As a part of that, I launched what would be the fifth newspaper ever online (ocregister.com, formerly called RWorld at that time). During that summer, I also started programming an http logfile analytics program in Visual Basic (I called it Weblog). Val Cohen and Leah Gentry (who I worked for) figured it’d be good for me to do some work over at our Internet hosts office. Maximized Online, in Irvine, CA was co-owned by former OC Register graphic designer Danny Sullivan and Ken Spreitzer. I worked in their offices (using a beta of VB4) using a projector as my monitor. Ken taught me a lot about writing good code. Danny about aesthetics, etc. Good times. I wish you luck Danny.

I wonder what Scott McCloud is going to make of the iPad?

[From Books in the Age of the iPad — Craig Mod]

if just half of the iPad book apps are going to be like this, and I was Amazon or Dell, I would be having some crisis meetings in conference rooms right about now.

If I was in the set-top box market, or TV content market, I'd react with a significant amount of fear to Tim Cook saying Apple had no interest in the TV market.

[From Apple Knows a TV Is the Next Step, But Won't Do It - Apple TV - Gizmodo]

Yeah, thought so. I bet the next platform is AppleTV. Natural fit.

So the Windows performance analyst community is about as smarmy as the seduction community. Who'd have thought?

This happened to me on Orbitz when we went to Maui. I ended up having to call Orbitz and go through tons of levels to complain, called the GM of the hotel, etc. We got taken care of, but the hotel basically said that they treat Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia bookings as second to direct or agent booked travel.

Couldn't have happened to a better group. Love UrbanAirship.

I can attest to this. I've stopped buying Android phones because I figure every time you do, something "Amazing" is coming out on another carrier, or even on the same carrier. At least on the IPhone you know: Every July.

Can this please be the DirectTV Tivo that we all so need.

[From TiVo schedules a March 2nd NYC event and we’ll be there ]

Why does the fact that someone is announcing a phone automatically mean its an iPhone killer? Lazy journalism, that's why.
