I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.

Google base also you to ’attributize’ data. So to list a Vehicle you get a default list of properties you can assign values against. E.g. Color:Red
This ’sloppy data typing’ is the next step to being able to ask meaningful questions from Google like “Find me all yoga classes in Wellington that happen on a Tuesday”.
Simple. Powerful.
On Google, I was chatting to Phil about Google is becoming everything. Having the majority of their software server-side frees them from the drag that Microsoft has with a massive base and legacy of client installations.
In most cases this installed base has been Microsoft’s strength, but from a Google Point of view they have an advantage by being so nimble.
