A  great chat here with Peter Moreville that discusses how much time employees waste searching for things, user centered design, Google, Endeca, and other interesting subjects.

all you need to know about Web 3.0

Instead of trying to sound smart and discussing the difference between Web 2.0 and 3.0,  I will suggest reading this link.  Make sure you read the Wikipedia 3.0: The End of Google? article. I like it so much I may print it and put in on the bathroom stall walls at work :)It does beg the question from anyone that has ever worked on a standards committee if this over-arching ontolgy work will ever be completed. That also the big sticking point as I read Ambient findability. Also, lets not forget aabout the importance of the ad revenue and the mainstream popularity of Google. When I see the Wikipedia screen on Bobby Goren’s computer, I will change my mind

Ambient findability

I just finished reading this book a few weeks ago, and alot of people have asked me about this since I have had put it on my desk. Written by Peter Morville, the author of the Oreiily Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-Scale Web Sites book, has alot of credibility in this field, and has heavily reesarched this book. Having Oreiily as a publisher doesn’t hurt either

This book reminds me of a really good instrumental jam, with a lot of biuld up and tension in the first 100 pages, and then a release with some follow on comments and examples. There is a lot of futuristic talk, which can be risky if you look back at it five years from now, but with the intensive research that the author has done, I doubt that will be the case. The book also has good pointers to some of the more recent information sites that have popped up recently, but may not be in the eye of the mainstream readers that were AI readers, such as del.icio and flickr. It would be interesting to hear Peter’s comments regardign the explosion of LinkedIn, Youtube, sendspace, etc.
