The speaker touches a giant oled screen and the audience see through the screen the speaker and the media displayed by a software that hides everything that on screen should be white. Simple lateral idea. I wonder if something like this already exists. Would be cool for keynotes, on-line teaching, etc.
November 26, 2010 Update: yet another case of parallel evolution of an idea 
Google, how will you avoid unintentional censorship?
Imagine a search engine capable to predict the real meaning of user’s queries beyond their knowledge gaps, we are not that far.
The spelling auto correction tools could be extended to let users know something that everyone else already knows, beyond the present knowledge of single users.
A search engine used as a knowledge tool, is still a search engine? Can we search something we did not imagine that exist? Google already proved that we can search for something we don’t even know the correct name yet. How deep can you go, Google?
I feel like an elastic rubber band, between my ideas of a free knowledge market and customer’s will to do some business together. Google seems to experience a similar (not yet painful) division between what Google can give for free and its ads.
This month I got more conversions from Facebook Ads than from AdWords. Maybe I’m just a poor marketer, but maybe something is changing.
Update: Maybe a lot of little numbers will give us some answers, just like a lot of lines can draw something similar to a circle, we just have to remember that approximation of reality is not reality, and approximation may change the perception itself of reality (if reality exists, of course).
At the moment the search feature is available with the operator *.

Update: it happened to me on february 7th 2011
Update: apparently i was not the only one concerned about it 
Update: but i still want an index history
I feel small, almost nothing is going how I expected it could have gone. A year ago I would have never predicted that now I could have been in love, and so far from my work and life targets, at the same time.
Adventures in social media web life are driving me far from a respected expertise. The more I dive deep into the web, the more I feel lost and without rules to understand who’s driving and what’s the direction. Cloud computing is going big, outsourcing seems a business… while I have been always focused in learning the more technical skills I could.
Now I’m missing the swarm direction. I wake up in the city every morning and the traffic jam is shouting at my human senses, making me wish a relaxing house in the suburbs. Failing predictions about the next big moves puzzles my mind.
Sometimes mistakes have importance, you listen and try to avoid as possible. Now it’s been a while since I cannot remember even important mistakes, and this makes me feel useless, coward and with less and less to tell. dog is shit table uncle bananas. Even After the deadline plugin is failing to correct my words.
The feeling is that I need another environment to test/try my ideas in the field. Sometimes even Internet seems small.
Dear social Analysts,
feelings are stronger than you think.
Like many others I’m now curious of why I’m spending most of my online time on social networks. Except for what I’m reading in the FeedReader, I’m experiencing a decrease of the quality of my online time. Maybe people is putting all their energy on those super boring Facebook statuses, they are so easy to comment with those useless likes or comments. My trusted friends are living their lives far from me and their need to post those elaborate and meaningful blog posts that I loved seems now ended.
Also casual online gaming is stealing a lot of my time. Plus finally I managed to have a private life and when I’m online I try to get only some stats about current projects, read+answer to emails and a lot of feedreading for my personal interests. All I need from an internet connection is now in my cellphone and I try to focus on work while on the PC.
I’m not happy with my productivity but I’m not in the need for a job so I keep alive only the minimum of my will to focus on my customer’s needs during online consulting sessions.
My offline world now speaks about what is online, the TV news are now mostly empty and distant stuff. I try to keep updated with my few real life friends, but it’s hard to meet in some physical places.
Since I completely detached from my work aspirations, 2 years ago I started focusing on how to achieve a personal life. Now that I’m having some rewarding time with my loving girlfriend, I’m digging in my experience to take out something interesting for my work future.
I know how to be a guide for myself during hard times of sacrifice, and that sacrifice now is invisible.
I’m also getting more and more philosophical during my work-time instead of being technical as I would like to be. Working on this side of the search engines is a matter of trust and it’s more about believing than knowledge.
Another fact about my personal life is that I left much of my need for work satisfaction behind while trying to get in touch with lost parts of my family, and my family is big now, and full of memories about each one of my relatives. While I’m still losing contact with a big part of my family, my online friendships are the same and very rewarding for the latest bunch of years (they are still M., Adam and Alessandro the undead) despite of that useless time on social websites.
