If Google Were Really Evil…

John Battelle's Searchblog

My morning routine was interrupted today in a big way – because Twitter was down. I hadn’t realized how much I depend on the service for any number of things, from tossing out the headline or two that I find interesting as I read my feeds, to checking the status of the conversation around stuff I’ve written the day before, to logging into other services I use through my Twitter account.

ChiefTech

Today, I'm part of a panel debate at KM Australia. I have 3-4 minutes to present my argument that we can and should make tacit knowledge explicit with collaboration technologies. I'll be using two images to explain my argument, both created by Dave Gray as part of his Connected Company series. The problem of scale. Think at the level of the street. So, what's the story behind picking these diagrams to make my argument?

Peak Performance: Continuous Testing & Evaluation of LLM-Based Applications

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

My, How the CMO Has Changed

John Battelle's Searchblog

A posting (and responses) on GM’s Facebook Wall, July 2012 When you visit Joel Ewanick, CMO of GM, in his offices in Detroit, the first thing you notice is that unlike most C-suite executives, he’s not on the 39th floor of GM’s Renaissance Center headquarters (the highest floor).

Who’s On First? (A Modest Proposal To Solve The Problem with First- and Third-Party Marketing)

John Battelle's Searchblog

Early last month I wrote a piece entitled Do Not Track Is An Opportunity, Not a Threat. In it I covered Microsoft’s controversial decision to incorporate a presumptive “opt out of tracking” flag in the next release of its browser, which many in the ad industry see as a major blow to the future of our business. In the piece, I argued that Microsoft’s move may well force independent publishers (you know, like Searchblog, as well as larger sites like CNN or the New York Tim

Markdown and Blogging

Late last year I started thinking about moving my blog on from Posterous. If I do, this will be my second move as I started on Google's Blogger originally. Posterous attracted my attention because as much as I like Wordpress, I wanted something simple where I could focus on content and not managing a Website. Posterous has worked reasonably well, but I don't have confidence its a solution I can stay with.
