Who Should Be Fired Over The Google Email?

by Nathan Weinberg

So, the author of the now infamous ex-Googler email has been revealed, and Geoffrey Elliott is none too happy about the whole situation. See, he worked at Microsoft, left to start a startup, the startup got bought by Google, and he left Google to return to Microsoft. His Microsoft recruiter sent him some questions about life at Google, and in the context of a private conversation, he sent along his thoughts.

That is a shame that his privacy has been ruined like that. Isn’t job interview contents supposed to be kept in between the applicant and the authorized person in HR just as the recommendation letters are kept sealed until it is delivered to the recruiting HR people?

Creating Images for the Web with Scalable Vector Graphics

DiamondLime is talking about the benefits of vector graphics for web.

Vector graphics could be one of the best things to happen to the web. Think about it—any user of any device could scale the entire site, including graphics, text, and rendered HTML elements to the size he or she wants without mucking up how it looks. Only photographs and other images that don’t convert well to vector formats would remain a problem.

Report: Don't Buy AdWords, Focus On SEO

Over the weekend, with the sensational headline "Search & Destroy," the New York Post wrote up the forthcoming results of an "audit" from UK-based Internet Search Metrics (also called Internet Search Management). The Post article says the audit, which is not yet released, argues that the spending on paid-search is often unjustified and that more resources should be devoted to optimization.

I wonder what this "Audit" people will going to do with all these pouring information era. People are paying AdWords to be listed above everybody in the keywords criteria. If they are going to be listed in the wrong field,, isn't that their loss? It seems that the decision what to click out of the search result is depend on users.
