The Other Day

Man, this flu got me...So, I haven't been able to get some fresh stuff for you, but I posted this entry on iBiblio on Monday...

Here's a great article that I caught on Monday in the AM from Saul Hansell of the New York Times. Check out "Search Sites Play a Constant Game of Catch-Up." I think Hansell is hitting on a good point by wondering if the intensity of competition, particularly between Yahoo and Google may leave some doors open for competition to seize upon some opportunities.
Here's a solid quote from Hansell's article...

"There is so much tit-for-tat between Yahoo and Google when they match each other's futures, that they are leaving an opening for things they are not watching," said Seth Goldstein, the chairman of Majestic Research, a firm that studies online consumer behavior for investors. "A lot of the real innovation is happening under the radar.." Goldstein also notes a lot of innovation among smaller sites in using blogs and other methods to associate, or tag, Web pages with information about their content.

You never know...Keep digging on that project!

Fred Stutzman is "on the loose" with his 'Best of 2004' list. Check out The Explainer for Fred's finest albums of '04. Then, run down to your local independently owned record store, and slide that plastic through the reader...Fred, I like the Masta Ace pick, but I really loved the #18 Foreign Exchange call...iBiblio says pick it up, and support "Bull City."

And for the caboose in this message. Check out Steve Kelley from The Seattle Times out Steve Kelley from the Seattle Times and his great article on the pride of Bremerton, Wash and how Marvin is fitting in here in the 'Hill'...Marvin Williams...Marvin could be one of the all-time greats...I just hope the leeches leave him alone.
