Exanet Releases “Enterprise Search Solution”
This is a mouthful, but here we go: Exanet has described itself as “the leader in software-based, clustered enterprise Network Attached Storage (NAS).” Now, with that out of the way, the easy part (and the real news): Exanet has launched ExaSearch, an “enterprise-class search engine.”
Define Business Transparency
I was supposed to be a guest speaker at a meeting on the East Coast last Friday. I was invited by PodCamp founder John Havens, who set up a BlogTalk Radio connection.
Google Gets Mentioned A Lot In Social Media

Google Hardware To Go Through Ingram Micro
If you want to get the Google Mini or Google Search Appliance, talk to Ingram Micro – even as sales surpass 9,000 units, the company has been selected to distribute Google’s hardware.
Wikipedia’s Google Penetration
Via ThreadWatch, this study of where Wikipedia pages appear in Google results for a search for that phrase, and found that in about 580 out of 600 randomly chosen Wikipedia pages, the Wikipedia page appeared in Google’s top 10.

You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. One way to know for sure you live on the Internet is to launch a site and then take it down. The moment you announce that you’re moving on is when you suddenly learn that what you had going was appreciated and even loved.
“Pulpy And Contrived Drama” Draws On Google
Without having seen this play, I hesitate to criticize it. In fact, I’ll try to refrain from doing so. But regardless of its value as entertainment or great drama, “I Google Myself” does, as you probably guessed from the title, involve America’s favorite search engine.
A description provided by TheaterMania should get us all on the same page.
State of Denial at WSJ & USA Today?
Perhaps the joke “What’s black and white and read all over?” should be updated to “What’s black and white and in the red all over?
My defense and love of print media is well-documented. But the following scenario seems the exact opposite of smart.
Google Spaz
Google is spazzing. That’s a technical term. It means that one day, you see your site just fine in the index — ranking in the top 5 or 10 for your target terms, the next day -POOF!- gone completely. So, of course you panic. You start obsessing over your source code, you start yelling at […]
