Cringely’s 2003 Weblog prediction

Blogs January 3rd, 2003

From Cringely’s 2003 predictions: “And finally, with the continued (and to me totally inexplicable) rise of web logs, someone — maybe Google — will come up with an effective blog search engine to read all that junk for us and extract what we really care about. ”

I would have to agree that “an effective blog search engine” doesn’t necessarily exist yet. Yeah, Yeah, there’s Blogdex, Daypop, etc … and of course the feed aggregators, but perhaps we need something more like Google News, but hive based like Technorati’s Watchlists.

Then again, maybe I should just go to bed and stop creating links :-)

    My brother send an email to Bob Cringely stating that his brother (meaning me) could not find a job in the aerospace industry because of lack of a security cleance. Cringely sent back the most insulting letter I have ever read, insulting me, ridiculing my employment situation, my career as an Ada programmer, etc. What right does Cringley have to do that? I have Master’s Degree in Computer Science from Rochester Institute of Technology. What are Cringely’s techincal credentials? I have lost all respect for Bob Cringely.
