  2. Google removing feeds from search results

    It’s about time…

    As a webmaster, you may have been concerned about your RSS/Atom feeds crowding out their associated HTML pages in Google’s search results. By serving feeds, we could cause a poor user experience:

     

    1. Feeds increase the likelihood that users see duplicate search results.
    2. Users clicking on a feed may miss valuable content available only in the HTML page.

     

    To address these concerns, we prevent feeds from being returned in Google’s search results

    I’d have to say, Serving feeds HAS caused a poor user experience.

  5. Entourage ‘08

    Doesn’t surprise me.

    Entourage 2008Of course, none of that is going to change in Office 2008. Entourage is never going to become a MAPI Outlook for Mac, and it won’t adopt cross platform compatibility with the .ost and .pst files of its Windows cousin. Microsoft does realize that plenty of Mac users in business and educational institutions need to access Exchange Server, so there are regular refinements to Entourage to improve its support. Microsoft is also reserving its Exchange support in Entourage for the $300 version of Office to make sure that schools and business can’t get by using the $150 home and education version.

    I recieved my license plates the other day.

    and then saw this guy the day after.

    It’s crazy how close they are to each other. My guess is the first 4 four (number+letters) are for make and model and then sequential after that since we have the same (model, make, year) car.

  7. Windows Mobile 6.1

    There’s a video of Windows Mobile 6.1 over at Engadget and I can’t get over how slow the web browser is. There’s some other “cool” new features, that task manager looks “exciting”. Seriously though, watching 3 minutes of a site loading and navigation I’m surprised MS hasn’t improved anything substantial. Maybe without a touch screen they can’t produce somehting substantial but seriously, can’t MS make a web browser that loads a site like it should, it’s clearly not helping anything having it they way they have it now, nor does it speed anything up.
