Why keep it twice? - search engineering esperance your-oo

Leapfrog Google? The search industry is bent down. Imagine next week
the Yahoo to Redmond flights where heads hit the seat upright pillows
dreaming of this upheaval. You are about to receive a magic vessel
infusion. When you lift your head from this email you'll have the
power to start your own company with two 'o's in its name. What part
of Africa, the Ukraine, India, Europe, China or the US will fuel the
your-oo headquarters? You'll be lauded for your green solution. No
data center near Grand Coulee or wave energy farm was needed. Why keep
the data twice?

The energy to store the data in your search results was paid for once.
You store it on your server we can access now. Why pay to copy and
keep a reflection of what is on your server in other locations too?
And what about latency? The copies are never accurate on demand.

So. The answer? Build an open source or proprietary search project
that leaves a stub of your data indexed on your server. It is your
data not theirs. Each server advertises. Create a billing system that
pays server providers where this footprint is above a certain onerous
threshold. Your data center costs for your-oo reduce to staging areas
around the world that temporarily hold indices and common high volume
results. The Redmond-Mountain View business models are disrupted.
You're a genius. Google survives with unbridled aspirations reduced.
They own the translation layer to the data on your server. Redmond
consortium dies replaced by you. Valid revolution starts as impossible
fantasy.

URGENT: What can 4912 people at Stanford do with 4054 harvard-bay-area grads?

How can we bring these two together for good purposes on-line?
Suggestions please? The two groups are mostly on open source Mailman
with a little legacy Yahoo sprinkles from back in the day.

What web technologies would bring the crowd together? Keep in mind
there are similar size groups for UC Berkeley and UC Davis.
Integrating them into the soup is next. The lists are self funded to
pay for the engineering of whatever it is you dream up. Paint a
picture. These member numbers will be double in a year. Perhaps a
trade, a company partnership? My mind is open.

You are needed - WOMAN, Inc. table captain's planning meeting Aug. 12th, 2009

Planning for our annual dinner in the fall has begun. Consider being a
table captain. Help support the organization that runs the main crisis
line (25K+ calls per year) for Bay Area women. You can imagine in
these economic times what that means for our families?

WINC is 31 with an amazing staff. Together with our ED, Roberta
Toomer, they are our life blood. Roberta has executive skills and a
caring work ethic that are off the charts. Conna Craig, one of the
most highly respected Harvard grads in the Bay Area, is our Board
President. Would you consider being a table captain?

Be a leader. Invite your friends and family to sit with you at our
annual event. We need your time and good energy. There is no charge
for the meal. At the end of the presentation we do an "ask". Giving is
optional. The main purpose is to educate the community so women know
about the services we offer. Check with your friends. You may know a
person we have helped.

The kick off meeting is Wed. August 12th at 6:30 PM at our main office
on Valencia in the Mission District. We recently opened a second
location in the City dedicated to giving women free shelter who need
it. Step up. Reply to this email please. We could use your help as a
table captain. Best,

Perry Gregg
Board of Directors

Four for fourth farrago

Squint. If you want to see our future this Fourth do so. Wide eyed,
open eared, too much data rushes in. Fitting you try to find our state
during the intended pomp of this day. What do you see through a narrow
aperture?

1. Confusion. Bombarded with conflicting information, how can a child
find their way in this mess? The information revolution showed up and
barfed all over us. Pay attention to the verbiage you encounter today.

2. Broken learning model. In a mind outside the country club in a
place the limo passes with windows sealed is the raw energy we need to
cultivate. Are the buildings of knowledge open to the people you see?

3. Opportunity. Positive energy. Isn't it amazing? Close your eyes. Do
you feel it? The life force in these universes is meant to be. It
wants to work together. Why?

4. Over growth. Many good plans and best of intentions showed up to
run this country. Great things happened. The plans went potty. We
lacked the conviction to clean up. Bathrooms of congressional action
from the 4th enactments till now are making us sick. Shooting ego
fireworks over it without wisdom ... stuff down a dog.
