No Christmas In London & Links for August 23rd

23 Aug 2005

The last few days have been very hard. I’ve been studying very intensively, so I didn’t really had the time to check up on the things. I’m also planning to leave behind a little something for the readers of the blog for when I’m on vaction. It’s going to be footage, and it’ll be a lot. You’ll see. — In the meanwhile, I’ve cleaned up my aggregator and lined up some stories you can go read elsewhere, because in fact I’ve got nothing interesting to say.

* Google got a patent today for the geocoding technology that allows a geocode (latitude, longitude) to be generated for a postal address.

* There’s a new sourcode for AdSense that allows webmaster to target the zone on a page of which they prefer Google to generate a content-based ad on.

* You can geo-locate your photostream with SmugSmug.

* There’s also a simple piece of source that can be used to suck up the WWW Robots. Adding these simple links () will redirect email harvesting bots to trap sites that will feed it with an almost infinite loop of dynamically generated fake email addresses, mostly on known spammer owned domains! This will render their harvested lists pratically useless and of no commercial value. [Check out SpamPoison]

* [SearchEngineLowdown] list the details of and points to [a press release about a survey] that analyzed the online behavior of its panel of two million internet users as well as a survey of over 785 internet users that used search to help them with their most recent wireless purchase over a 12-month period. By year’s end 23.9 million consumers will perform a search online for wireless service, representing over $12.6 billion in potential annual service revenue.

* Robert Moog, whose name became synonymous with electronic music in the 1960s and ’70s through the invention of his self-named synthesizers, has died in Asheville, N.C. He was 71.

* The AdSense Status is also a tool that allows you to keep track of your earnings and stats.

* [Laundry View] provides a way for college students to communicate with washers and dryers in campus laundry rooms. via [Textually]

* TechDirt has a story about crackers who’re actually improving Windows, with Microsoft not being too happy about it.
