AI - My Thoughts - 2

So one of the points I pointed in the previous post was “We need a single point of entry for all the data which is flowing from you to the outside world”.

 

Consider Google, which provides the following

-          they have a Orkut, social networking site, thru which they have a list of your close friends (It would be pretty simple to ask you how you know that person), so they understand what kind of relationship you have with your friends.

-          they provide you a mail service, so they know whom you contact most/least often.

-          They have your chat (talk), so they know whom you communicate instantly with. (this + the social networking site’s scrap feature)

-          The OpenSocial was initiated which allowed sharing friends info (of course it could not be replicated) across members of the OpenSocial forum.

-          They have provided an RSS reader, so they know what you read. (some kind of replacement for newspapers)

-          They know what your friends read since your friends also match the above criteria.

-          They know what kind of advertisements interests you.

 

So what you see over here is a “search company” which would be able to “on demand” replicate you. J After the other AI probs are cracked i.e..

 

And so now you understand why I want to  get into google!!!!!

 

Note:

1.       Nowhere in my previous blog post or this blog post do I say that google is using this data.

2.       As per my knowledge, Google is currently not using this data.

3.       I am very sure it will never deny a user his/her privacy by using this data in the future also.

4.       Do not make any misassumptions or crib about this post

 

 

Hopefully I get time tomorrow morn to post this to my blog. ZZZZZZzzzzz…

So you have your website deployed in PROD ... now what ??

Posting on behalf of Usr.Web.Speed - My previous job had been to architect and develop websites for various customers. During that time my team and I have architected and developed various web applications mainly for enterprises. (But below info is not restricted to enterprises) Other than the usual development and testing tasks involved, our focus area was to abide by multiple SLAs. One of the primary SLAs was to provide the users of our websites a very low (usually subsecond) response time (or page load time). To adhere to this SLA, we did multiple activities, in code, process as well as infrastructure. These include (but not limit to) - Using best practices including (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html) Determining the optimum number of calls to the databases, open connections, etc. Providing the fastest mechanisms to download associated content (such as stylesheets, JS files, etc. over CDN) And debugging the reason for the slowness of the websites, when ...

My first problem with AJAX

I was using Callback (AJAX) to retrieve a page i had developed . Lets start all over, I was using AJAX to retrieve a part of the contents of a web page. Cool, simple, it downloaded without a pain, then I innerHTMLed it to a span tag. Worked fine, successful, clapped my hands etc.etc. Clicked on the button which had seemed to appear out of nowhere. And then, it all fell apart. The feared exclamatory symbol appeared on the status bar.... And for the newbies, thats an indication of a JavaScript error in IE. Of course, as usual i was all curses at my IE window......Anyway to make a long story short (i AM quite sleepy u know). the scripts which i seemed to be innerHTMLing to the span tag are not executed. And what i mean is anything between the script tags which have been innerHTMLed to that span tag are not executed. Of course i can see a ray of hope in the distance. I mean the distance till tomorrow morning. And just for kicks, check out a hi-fundoo flash file titled EPIC 2004 . And for...
