Adactio: Journal—The tragedy of The Commons
december 2008 by vielmetti
The Commons is not just one of the finest achievements on Flickr, it’s a shining example of just how great the web can be. If the project dies because of the idiotic actions of some short-sighted bean counters at Yahoo, it will be a great loss for you, me and our culture.
My trust in Flickr has been shaken. I’m beginning to think that entrusting Flickr with my photos, my data and my memories might prove to be an ill-judged decision.

kewlchops: Not quite what I had in mind.
december 2008 by vielmetti
(It would be unfair to give anyone affected by the lay-offs special treatment.) It's not just my treatment I worry about here. Such a sudden movement makes it especially hard to continue the program effectively, at least for a while. So silly. I sent a few tersely helpful emails before my email account was closed. Couldn't resist. Don't let The Commons die, you buggers! Can't you see how wonderful it is?!?!?

As this was really just a demonstration of the power of Yahoo! BOSS, I have brought the site back as a demonstration site. Additionally, Yahoo! is making the source code to the new site available so anyone with a knack for Python, HTML and CSS can take a swipe at making a better search experience. In order to make a nice UI I teamed up with another Sam, Sam Lind. I put together the skeleton using Yahoo!’s amazing YUI tools and he created the look and feel. Please try it out and take advantage of Yahoo!’s open search API:

a search engine built on top of the yahoo search engine using a look and feel derived from cuil; unlike cuil it actually returns reasonable search results, like cuil it does a longer abstract and lays out the page differently. not too bad, compares very favorably in side by side comparisons. thanks freshelectrons for the link.

AOL to Cut 2,000 Employees, 20% of Work Force « GigaOM
october 2007 by vielmetti
I wonder, though, despite all the talk about being able to compete in the advertising business, if AOL really has what it takes to duke it out with more motivated rivals like Microsoft (MSFT), Yahoo (YHOO) and of course, big daddy Google (GOOG).
