Google's Desktop Search - while the article doesn't go over the Google Search Appliance much, it goes over it some. It doesn't really try to figure out why it's not a hot seller -- thought, $48 million seems pretty "hot" to me. I always think it'd be perfect at a place like my work where there's hundreds of intranet pages and no good search for all of them. Maybe it has something to do with the pricing.
attention.xml - I've seen Steve Gillmore's mention his attention.xml thing, but I haven't read much of a description of it (as this link does).
In less-healthy organizations, feedback may be viewed as criticism or personal attack. When this happens, the organization cuts off its own ability to react and respond to change. (And change, after all, is just a fact of life in the software field.) All too often, the only employees who know anything is wrong are too scared to talk for fear of being labeled ?not a team player.? As a result, the entire project team, or a large part of it, may willingly and knowingly walk into the valley of death.
Bush's Offshoring - the RNC paid offshore pollsters $9.25/hr to "mobilise support for President George W. Bush and solicit political contributions ranging between $5 and $3,000 from lakhs of registered Republican voters."
Story on Pluck - Pluck is an IE plugin that does aggregation and some other collaborative/social stuff. Our old Coral friend, Jay Valanju, is doing some sort of bid'ness development with them, so I like to keep an eye on it.
