My wife Julie passed away from #breastcancer last month. Today I published her obit in @StarTribune @SFChronicle @PB_News and at https://t.co/pH6ii9cwry

We knew right away that we completed each other and fell deeper in love for 27 years. She meant everything to me.

I wish I could find the thread/post discussing admin-disabling Chrome Extensions on Mac. There has to be a way.

Not sure if this is just the skeezy myway.com developers or if it's some kind of XSS they enable. In any case the extension rewrites your google search results. Badly. You know you're in trouble when the support page has uninstall directions...

Anyone interested in a structured data/markup/schema group to coordinate external facing efforts?

It seems that we're moving in the same directions:

- Publisher Markup (authorship/schema)
- Interactive Posts for Google+
- Moments API
- Inbox Actions (JSON-LD)
- Tools (SDTT, markup helper)

If interested you can plus people into this thread and I'll create a G+ community with these people as seed members...

_This is just like when they cancelled Firefly!_

said someone in a Reader-related comment thread.

So have hope.  Veronica Mars is returning and Cougar Town was picked up by TBS -- Dollhouse?  sorry, can't help you there.

LOL - comment from a thread on consumer + :

*Darren Bounds* - I hope the day never comes where I'm able to import RSS, Atom, Twitter or Facebook content directly into +. Give a Hoot. Don't Pollute.

Cross posted from a buzz thread about implicit graph matching.



creepy/yuck factor? At one time organ transplants were considered frankenstein creepy. Street view was (and some say is) considered creepy. The facebook news feed was once considered creepy. People's views change over time, especially if there's an underlying value that one can understand. For all of the above I'd say that the value is there and folks have adjusted.


Having a benevolent trusted partner that can search all of your content and knows you better than you know yourself using heuristics and AI? That stuff is science fiction magic. We can make it happen, and it forms the basis for serendipitous search.


I'd say we're going to have a lot more moments like this where we surface stuff to the user that they didn't expect nor ask for. Making everything opt-in is not the answer -- there has to be a middle ground here where value is given before it is asked for.
