All My Covers Are Google

Newsweek couldn't help themselves. In fact, I think there are more Google covers this past year than Jesus covers. Jesus! Steven Levy (a friend) does a fine job summarizing that which we already know from reading the last dozen or so articles. And Sergey and Larry play along, giving him…

nw_152_magcover_040320Newsweek couldn’t help themselves. In fact, I think there are more Google covers this past year than Jesus covers. Jesus!

Steven Levy (a friend) does a fine job summarizing that which we already know from reading the last dozen or so articles. And Sergey and Larry play along, giving him lots of time at the ‘plex. The angle: Google has competitors now. Google isn’t that worried. Best quote: From Anna Patterson, late of the Internet Archive, new to Google:

“(MSFT search engineers are) a bunch of people at the first grade,” she says. “Eight junior programmers who don’t know anything about search.”

PageRank Tool

Via Google Blogoscoped, I found this tool that tells a URL's PageRank. This is handy if, like me, you don't use a PC and can't download Google's Toolbar, which tells you the PageRank of the page you're on. I've never known this site's PageRank, and of course the first thing…

Via Google Blogoscoped, I found this tool that tells a URL’s PageRank. This is handy if, like me, you don’t use a PC and can’t download Google’s Toolbar, which tells you the PageRank of the page you’re on. I’ve never known this site’s PageRank, and of course the first thing I did was a vanity PageRanking. battellemedia.com is a 7 out of 10. I think that means the site has a decent ranking. Or, it could mean the site ranks a C-. Who knows, really….

Again (AGAIN!) The NYT on Google

This story may as well have been published two years ago, it's a complete retread of every story you've ever read about Google (Vanity Googling! Date Googling! Google is really big and cool and new and important! Google has a chef who worked for the Dead! Google's not the answer…

This story may as well have been published two years ago, it’s a complete retread of every story you’ve ever read about Google (Vanity Googling! Date Googling! Google is really big and cool and new and important! Google has a chef who worked for the Dead! Google’s not the answer to everything, but it sure seems like it is!). At least this time they are talking to some interesting folks, including Larry Lessig and Brewster Kahle. I know I’m way too inside baseball to have a clear view of this, but…this story has run in the Times before. I guess now we know, it will run again, and again, and again.

Good cocktail party tidbit from the Register: Dutch fellow posed as a Kleiner partner and scammed folks into “investing” in pre-IPO Google shares. He took in half a million before he got caught…

Among the victims were several financially successful and sophisticated members of the international technology and business community, the FBI says. These include a New York investment banker, the chairman of a global telecom company, a brokerage firm executive and counsel for a telecommunications company.

I’d like to see that list…
