@marshallk @tolles is rather glad that the media has new overlords - but I don't think it'll last. Search will merge with media. 4:30 PM Nov 25th from TweetDeck in reply to marshallk

How much money does Apple make from Google?I think you'll be surprised 6:07 PM Nov 24th from txt
@tolles Really? I think that was just a snapshot, I'm talking about a living index updated constantly 5:56 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
@tolles Really! 5:55 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
@tolles Alexa was based on Korean users and people who installed the toolbar, apples to oranges... 5:08 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
@tolles Yes, but wouldn't it be quicker and use far less Internet bandwidth if it were collected into a central database? 4:55 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
@tolles You could be right but if there was a central store of pages anyone could anlyze whatever part they want. 4:47 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
@tolles Yes, but the value is in the algorithm not in copying a page - anyone can do that. All those spiders use nearly 50% of my bandwidth 3:19 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
@jowyang I'm going to Le Web with the Traveling Geeks #TG09 #leweb 3:10 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to jowyang
@tolles Yes, you are right, commodity is not the right word but everyone would gain if it were a common-ity :) 3:07 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
@tolles I get hit by 16 spiders a day all collecting the same info. Surely the analysis is the key anyone can cache a web page... 1:16 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to tolles
Is the value in the search index or in the analysis? Surely the index is a commodity - http://bit.ly/7wPs0a 12:17 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
