So that might not be the awesome name that they’ll be using, but CNET is rumormongering about Google cooking up something oceanographic along the lines of Maps or Earth. Their speculation includes this lovely image from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. Unlike most people with a heartbeat, I didn’t find Google Maps particularly interesting on arrival. I was a fan of the simplicity of Yahoo Maps at the time (but no longer, eek!) and Microsoft’s Terraserver ha

Web analytics and Twitter: An incomplete story April 30th, 2008 Hitwise released research this week reporting that Twitter had a nice relative growth spurt this year. The key word is relative. The site grew from a market share of a whopping 0.0005% (U.S. Internet visits to Twitter.com) to 0.0016% in April. That places the Twitter.com site at number 439 on the list of social networks.

Lance A. Bettencourt and Anthony W. Ulwick have developed a method called “job mapping,” which breaks down the task the customer wants done into a series of discrete process steps. Authors think that this efficient yet simple method could help companies find new ways to innovate. Authors argue that by deconstructing a job from beginning to end, a company gains a complete view of all the points at which a customer might desire more help from a product or service – namely, at each step in the job

At the core of the disruptive innovation theory developed by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen is a simple principle: Companies innovate faster than people’s lives change. Most organizations make products that are too good, too expensive, and too inconvenient for many customers. This happens for a good reason. After all, managers are trained to seek higher profits by bringing better products to the most demanding customers. But in the pursuit of profits, companies overshoot

The late sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke famously said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. We certainly live in a magical world. We’re surrounded by technology, yet we seldom stop to consider the amazing advances that we’ve come to rely on every day. Whether we’re surfing the Web, making a call on our mobile phones, or watching a DVD movie on our big-screen TV, we take our modern conveniences for granted. Here, then, is a peek inside the magician’s hat at

Well here is something that should be able to tell you more about the image search part of it.

Triangle Texture-Mapping Now in the Wii Opera SDK April 28th, 2008 I’ve just finished adding triangle texture-mapping to the Draw class of the Wii Opera SDK and have placed a demo at
[wiioperasdk.com] Since the canvas object lacks support for 3D at the moment, I had to use some trickery by rotating the coordinate system then drawing horizontal scanlines, but it works fairly well, aside from some minor glitches. Don’t expect any high-speed fully 3D games to be playable i

Twing offers deep search for forums April 29th, 2008 Searching forums for specific posts can seriously suck. Most have proprietary search tools that can be unfamiliar or downright difficult to use. Some even require you to fill out a captcha to avoid getting attacked by bots or having its forums infested with spam. Twing is a new service that’s attempting to solve these problems with a search tool that scours hundreds of user forums and lets you search by individual posts or topic thread al

Online maps are hot! Since Google Maps is in the air, especially since they started to roll out their API, it has become a breeze for site owners to complete their site's content with visual maps. Things are not that easy though: Beyond posting a map, site owners need to control the aesthetics of the maps, mark places and attach data to these places. Click2Map offers a wide-range of solutions to help site owners manage the data of their maps. Built on top of the Google Maps API, Click2Map makes

The Boston Globe had a nice article explaining a little bit more about how the TeleAtlas folks create maps and get them from their Road Vans to you on your GPS units. They also mentioned that TeleAtlas is working on 3-D maps: "Atlas is also moving ahead on its 3-D strategy, showing off maps of New York City, Los Angeles, and Toronto at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Imagery collected by its fleet of camera vans has been transformed into a scrolling street map that resembles a video g

Viewzi launching visual search platform [invites] April 29th, 2008 I have written unkindly in the past about Redzee, a search engine with a too-cute-by half search results page. But I like the new visual search experiment Viewzi, which brings more variations to search interfaces. Viewzi gives you different options to visualize search results. There is one that’s very much like Redzee (and Apple Cover Flow). Its design is a little less frenetic, though, so it’s easier to get a picture o

Good enough can be great. Many companies unintentionally slow the innovation process by pushing for perfection. eBay ex-CEO Meg Whitman, quoted in a March 2005 issue of USA Today, put in nicely: “It’s better to put something out there and see the reaction and fix it on the fly…It’s another way of saying ‘perfect’ is the enemy of ‘good enough.’” Step, don’t leap. Great leaps forward, when companies spend many years and millions of dollars seeking to jump over existing companies, almost never wor

Well, here’s a cool little hack for anyone who’s interested in building a GPS tracker for fun. Although I’d rather stick to my GoogleMaps on my Blackberry, this is good info for anyone who wants to build a custom app. The Open GPS Tracker is a small device which plugs into a $20 prepaid mobile phone to make a GPS tracker. The Tracker responds to text message commands, detects motion, and sends you its exact position, ready for Google Maps or your mapping software. The Tracker firmware is ope
