Pick two

Journalism’s challenge: “No one has figured out a way to present lots and lots of constantly updated information in a way that (a) is beautiful, (b) is effective at story discovery, and (c) privileges editorial control.”

Josh Benton has the goods: http://bit.ly/pFZsAI

  • Diderot on Information Overload 2009 September 3
    Denis Diderot, "Encyclopédie" (1755) As long as the centuries continue to unfold, the number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concea […]

  • Facebook release Tornado and it’s not based on Twisted? 2009 September 12
    Image: Jay Smith To their great credit, Facebook have just open-sourced more of their core software. This time it’s Tornado, an asynchronous web server written in Python. Surely that can only mean one thing: Tornado is based on Twisted. Right? Incredibly, no. Words fail me on this one. I’ve spent some hours today trying to put my thoughts into order so I cou […]

  • Calling All Librarians 2009 September 19
    I just received a copy of Inside Larry and Sergey's Brain by Richard Brandt. I'm generally pretty bad at reading this type of book and getting a review out in a timely manner, so this time I'm going to try my best to write a review of the first chapter.However, before I get that far, I've formed an impression based on the opening analogy.

  • Zakta – a new way to organize web knowledge 2009 September 14
    After the WhizBang!Labs implosion, I worked for Intelliseek (BuzzMetrics, Neilsen) where Sundar Kadayam was the CTO. Since leaving Nielsen, Sundar has been busy working on a new idea called Zakta. The site combines the functionality of web search, wiki and social features with the goal of simplifying the discovery, extraction and maintenance of knowledge dis […]

  • Tornado powering this blog 2010 March 14
    This blog is now running off of Tornado on App Engine. Tornado is an open source version of the web server and tools that power FriendFeed. I'm really excited that this code was open sourced, working with this server has been a pleasure at FriendFeed and I'm looking forward to seeing how developers will use and contribute to it. I haven't port […]

  • How Twitter works in theory 2009 August 15
    It is said that an economist is someone who sees something that works in practice and wonders whether it works in theory. Twitter clearly works in practice - and if you want practical advice, watch Laura Fitton's Tech talk at Google, or read her Twitter for Dummies. I've learned a lot from talking to her and others about this phenomenon, and I want […]

  • FluidDB has launched! 2009 August 25
    In case you missed it, FluidDB has (finally) launched. I wont be blogging here about FluidDB or Fluidinfo, though will continue to post personal things and of course random bits of code that seem interesting (and small) enough to warrant mention. I have yet another Twisted snippet coming up, though I’m not sure when I’ll get there. We’re all exhausted and th […]

  • The Raging Debate Over The Link Economy 2009 August 16
    Arnon Mishkin wrote a post last Thursday on paidContent called “The Fallacy Of The Link Economy” that has been generating a lot of discussion, so I figured I’d join in the free-for-all. First, let me try to reduce each person’s argument to a direct quote that best sums up his position. Arnon Mishkin: The vast majority of the value gets captured by aggregator […]
