I love telling stories, especially ones with happy endings. Once upon a time, way back in the early 80s, a young man (me) had written a program called ThinkTank. It ran on the Apple II, which only had 48K of memory -- not very much when you consider that an average PC today has 1 gigabyte -- or 21,845 times the memory if you can believe that! That's like comparing a single 140-char tweet to the Library of Congress. The Apple II had an infintesmally small memory, but its disk was a little larger. So the o

No doubt that Ajax can affect user experience to a large extent. We expect from Ajax applications to render parts of pages quickly and smoothly. However, excessive use of Ajax can make things go really bad. A few days ago I wanted to filter out some content (let s say list of books) on one particular website. Site has a live filter for filtering content. By ticking checkboxes with categories you narrow your choice. So the story goes like this: initially, a paged list of books was displayed. I w

When the original PageRank algorithm was conceived, it was built around the a mathematical formalization called random walk or RW. Considering a normal surfer to be a random walker, it was assumed that an individual would browse the Internet and randomly visit one of the pages followed by more pages through the hyperlinks on each of the landing pages. When the process ends the visitor would have surfed all the pages. Out of all the pages, the most visited pages would get the highest rank as they are t

I am fortunate enough to spend a lot of time looking at various online products and services in the development stage, mostly of the Web 2.0 variety, meaning they use one or more of the principles in the Web 2.0 set of practices.

I was traveling most of last week and so was unable to weigh in on the Web 3.0 mini-tempest that occurred when John Markoff published his exploratory piece in the NY Times last Sunday.
