Zoho Creator, an Ajax-driven platform that makes it easy to put together small Web applications. The launch is just the www.geonlineservice.com latest in a steady series of releases from Zoho over the past year or so. Developers who sell applications through the marketplace get 100 per cent of the revenue from anything they sell, which is a nice change from many similar Web stores, and hosting apps on Zoho’s database service will be free for small applications (those that draw a larger crowd will pay a fee, the company says). “We are trying to be the IT department for small

Hello Gerry,

I couldn't find your email address - so I thought I should drop you a line in this forum.

Congrats on your funding by the way.

Very intriguing. If you don't mind, are there any updates on how your network is doing? Any new projects?

Over time there will be the full range of experiences, business model modifications, and controversies to go with it. I'll definitely keep my eye out on this one.

well like other social media sites twitter is making its way to the top but competition is still a close draw because competitors are making their features and service more progressive

Gerry - would like to chat with you or your team about using collecta's search api for re-sale, much like one would license a feed from Google or Yahoo. What's the best way to reach you? Bill

Re: Swine Flu… in Realtime

Mike — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:28:28 -0000

In retrospect my previous comment came across as too self-promoting. I should have added some context. KickApps widgets can parse any Media RSS or Atom feed. In the "Swidget" example, each tab conducts a real time search of YouTube, Flickr and Twitter feeds, for the search term "swine flu."

Because each of these companies offers their search results via a standard interface (Media RSS) I was able to build this widget in minutes.

I am excited about what you guys are doing (merging all these "real-time" content sources into one index (or at least one interface)) and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do with similar feeds from you guys.

Check out the "Swidget" that I just made using the KickApps Widget Studio... it merges photos from Flickr, videos from YouTube and updates from Twitter into one embeddable flash application that is updated in real time.. i posted it on my Facebook profile page, my blog and now here's a link for you to enjoy...

Re: Search is broken – really broken.

Reed M Meseck — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 05:02:08 -0000

One of the huge emerging problems of the web is that as information moves faster and faster, it becomes stale quicker and quicker. Stale data isn't just less useful than than fresh data - it is potentially incorrect or misleading.

Take the example of real estate listings in this down market. The prices are moving faster than the search index can reflect so 9 out of 10 search results on the page often have the wrong price.

So how useful is search if what is returned is not "correct" ? The list price was correct at some point in time but is no longer valid. The heart of the problem is that search today lacks temporal semantics - i.e. the ability to represent the same piece of information along a timeline with different values. Making the problem worse is that current search engines have no way of reflecting temporal semantics and seeing the history of values - the changes along the timeline - might be of great interest. Stream search is a completely untapped facet of search.

There are many aspects of search that remain unexplored. Search communities are a natural social pattern. Personalized search contexts are another opportunity - why after all these years should each search be completely divorced from the context of your prior search request ?

Search is not getting better - it is getting worse. In part because information becomes stale more quickly and in part because we have not expanded on the search paradigm. Google dominates the space and is remarkably not very innovative when it comes to advancing Search. Everything else but Search.

I am now at Big Blue (IBM) and have the good fortune in such a large enterprise to have been given a role where I can use a lot of the same entrepreneurial skills that were necessary at Bounce. When I look back at the vision and the technology of Bounce Networks and then the marketplace today, I find piece-meal solutions by comparison.

I also have found products from companies we pitched too that should be in litigation with the assets of Bounce for ripping off our concept, model and design.

What a collection of great individuals that all worked as a team to produce something that today is still lightyears ahead and to be proud of.

A unique time with some very unique and talented folks that will not be forgotten.

@markjosephson I don't know that there is a need for an editorial voice in the traditional sense. I turned on CNN the other day and on their prime newscast, the lead stories were AG's comments on race, the chimpanzee cartoon and Octomom. All stuff I couldn't care less about. Instead of the top down "editorial voice" of MSM outlets, my new filter is my friend network.

I find out about most news -- whether it's news with a capital "N" or lowercase "n" from Twitter or Facebook. I've found the hit rate in terms of relevance is much higher than the front page of any news site.
