IT Act in September
The IT Act will be implemented in September. We’re just done with our business proposal. If we rush in now, we may be just in time to get a first mover advantage. But we’re losing the lead each day. Read about itsvalidated.com.
Image searches
These days I need to search a lot for images. images.altavista.com and gallery.yahoo.com have proven very handy. To me, it seems Altavista’s the eternal innovator, and gives away its lead to Yahoo. They came up with the image service first (and its still better). But their babelfish language translator is still one of its kind.
Why we drive on the left
Why do we drive on the left? The medieval nobility wielded their sword on the right (mostly), and rode on the left, so as to chop off oncoming horsemen. Peasants walked on the right to avoid the swords. While the New Scientist’s last word reveals why Napolean drove on the right, it’s not clear why Americans do. Kevin Lowey has a different opinion, though.
Search engines
Direct Hit (from AskJeeves) is a search engine. Copernic is a software that searches multiple sites. Flyswat is a way of interfacing a messaging board with your browser. I’ve heard they’re all cool.
Bankrupt dotcoms
What’s more of a rage than profitable dot-coms? Bankrupt dot-coms, as listed by dotcomfailures, startupfailures, and fuckedcompany. Scepticism’s gone far enough to make this web economy bullshit generator a great hit.
PR on the Internet
While hunting for some stuff on public relations on the Internet, I found 10 ways public relations specialists can use the Internet. Actually, the links are useful to anyone doing any news research. What’s Next Online, 12th July has a good writeup on how to research online. I did find some good Internet PR related links too on About.com, Connecting Online and Impulse Research.
