Chilled Out Bearded Man

Microsoft’s Bing Website doesn’t have an RSS feed, only Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook and Twitter seem to be outshining plain old blogs as a source of basic information. I doubt the blog will die anytime soon, but perhaps we’re seeing the beginning of the end for blogs.

Just by chance, Chilled Out Bearded Man joined Twitter today. Perhaps its time to join Facebook, as well. We’ll see how long that lasts, as rumor has it that alternate personalities are removed from Facebook (without notice) if they get too much attention. Might test this soon.

Wolfram|Alpha has been live for one week and it sounds like its a huge success. They received a ton of feedback from users and seem satisfied with how the system functioned for the week. The latest from the Wolfram Blog:

- Subjects of interest need to be expanded.

- 25% of queries were not interpretable by the system. but most of them had partial interpretations.

- Mathematics notation is working very well

- For testing, validating code symbolically using Mathematica saves them time

Go Wolfram! Its not there yet. But the concept is still awesome and will change the way we find information over the next few years.
