Re: Cuil might just be cool enough to become the Google-killer in search

I honestly can't understand what are they trying to do..
Beat Google using basically the same algorithms, on the premise that their index is bigger??

Re: Trying Zemanta

Hi Fred,

I won't claim to have a comprehensive product such as Zemanta, but I think my product (a FireFox extension) is doing a better job in linking. The link suggestions are in context, you get top search results for each suggestion and not just links from selected sites, and you can select any text and use the same linking method (not only the software suggestions - which admittedly are sometimes lame)
You can download it here: http://kaalga.com
It would be great to hear what you think

Hi Chris,
"VentureBeat, for example, has plenty of past coverage to tap into; if I want to mention Zemanta’s launch, I want the link to point to our own article, not an article somewhere else"

Try Kaalga to get link suggestion from your own blog (kaalga.com)

Re: How To Retweet: Format and Convention

I believe that the retweet statistics do not recognise a retweet unless it starts: 'RT @theoriginaltweeter'. So it's a good idea to add comments at the end, possibly punctuated. Your blog was very useful advice and not conformity enforcement. Thanks!

I've just started using Zemanta and feel it will be very useful. especially thinking of tags I hadn't thought of!

Ah ha - I have one last bottle of this delicious nectar lurking in my cellar. I shall now plan to enjoy it in a similar manner to you, much like a drowning man sees his past life flash past!
Thank you for you erudite and interesting posts on Catavino.
Adieu is too final - au revoir is more than enough.

Re: Under the volcano in Etna

A lovely, evocative piece that refreshed great memories.

Not sure about the month-old piece of lava. If lumps that big rained down on the vines, in full leaf a month ago, they would have been decimated!

Valeria mentioned an eruption earlier this year when, to her delight, flecks of ash tumbled into the glass of white wine she was enjoying on her terrace. All her friends had fled inside!

The volcano is amazingly young, of course, so what's a month, a year, a decade of age in Etna's 500,000 volcanic life?

Great advice, thank you! We've just returned from a busy few days in New York and Buffalo where we met and chatted with so many people in all sorts of places. Lifts and queues - sorry, lines - are great places to have conversations…
