The new technorati

People are improving stuff.

从Keso那里得知的这个消息， 新版的MSN toolbar 支持tab浏览。 还得知可以让用户自己选择默认的搜索引擎。因为这两点，我准备好下一个的，结果发现这个toolbar带了一大堆其他什么desktop search, 这个我不想要的，所以就不下了，后来在keso那个blog的留言中还看到这个tab是假的。sign。

至于maxthon, 感觉–只是感觉–不稳定的。我有一个同事说opera很不错，算了也不想多试，就用IE吧，偶尔用用firefox。

In a project, we are building:

1) The people
2) The knowledge

We are building up the skills of technology and communication. We are building a knowledge legency ( in the forms of documents ), when a person leaves, he is gone and knowledge left, then a person fills in, and he can get it rolling again very soon by picking up the knowledge legency.

Cooper investigated why France doesn’t have a sillicon valley. 2 reasons for this:

1. Lots of French technies work in the valley because you can make stuff in there.
2. More techies and entrepreneurs (this word is invented by French) go there.

It’s also true for Chinese. But some Chinese are trying to make a valley here in China, either Beijing or Shanghai. I think my place, Hangzhou is quite fit to take the role of valley.

GreatNews is made by some Chinese. Chinese are making some very good free and handy software, including Maxthon, Flashget……

The idea is actually very simple. “Combine people who want to buy the same stuff together so that they can buy it cheap or be able to buy it (otherwise “it” may not be created)”.

One more thing I learned, the big man behind changethis is Seth. Surprise.

IBM 正在为不能从大学找足够好的和足够多的人而担忧。美国人似乎对IT不怎么热心。

我为什么会选择IT这个行业呢？自从在电视上看到电脑这种东西后，就对它产生了很多联想。跟电脑打交道一定很酷。对别的行业也没有什么认识，于是就选择了这个很酷的行业。这个行业现在是一堆文档，代码，机器，网络，还有文化。记得有位哲学家说过“一切都是数字”，计算机技术慢慢地使这个世界显露出数字的本性。

就像画画要学许多年才能够迈上创造的境界，IT这个行业也需要很多年的训练才能够达到“自由”的境界。我期待有自由的一天。

最近在研究一些技术问题。我研究技术问题会钻牛角尖，通常我的同事都是事情搞定就好了，我搞定了事情之后，我没有把这个知识块弄个水落石出，没有建立起一个令人舒服的“体系”，总是觉得很不爽。

有一个问题，我问了很多同事都没有人能够回答，于是就想试试这个google groups (beta)灵不灵, 因为大家好像都比较相信google, 现在好多人用google建立论坛。把问题贴出去2个小时后，有人已经回答了这个问题，而且非常仔细的写到每一个小细节。

受到素不相识的人如此的认真的帮助，让stick在我脑里的一块大石头放下，我不得不小感动一把。

ACTION: 以后要多参与GGG(GooGle Groups), 多提出问题，如果能够回答的，多回答问题。

Cnet has an interview with Cisco CEO John Chambers:

You’ve got to understand one thing about Cisco: We’re trying to build a company that’s not only built to last, but built to lead.

Sandi Aguiar who had been working under Chanbers’ leadship for ten years admires him a lot. The message I got from his comment at the Cnet’s story is that:

Even a good leader reads books written by other leaders.

王建硕在微软工作了6年后开始了自己的新的职业征程，开始负责ebay投资的客齐集。我知道这个消息刚好是王建硕发布这个消息之后一个月，主要是因为我没有太关注这个老blogger.

这又是一个在大公司干n年自己创业的故事。不过这个创业不是很“自主”，他的角色也主要是职业经理人。祝愿他成功。另外他还写了一片：网站成功的关键。
