Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:49:25 +0000

I'm not sure how valuable searching Twitter content will be. It seems to me that the value is in the stream and immediacy of the data. However, I guess at some point we'll be wanting to find those witty snippets from days, weeks, months, and years past.

Tweets Available

Tom Pierce — Tue, 20 May 2008 09:11:00 +0000

I resisted using Twitter for years. However, I've lately decided that I need to understand it. So, I created a Twitter account and started playing. Like many others, I'm becoming addicted.

I've made my tweets (Twitter speak for messages) available on this blog. If you visit the web site, you'll see them in the far right column.

I stopped short of using LoutTwitter to create a daily tweet summary post in this blog. It looks very cool, but I'm not sure all of my HUGE (haha) cares about my micro-blogging.

Programming Collective Intelligence

Tom Pierce — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 07:15:00 +0000

I've started reading Programming Collective Intelligence, and I'm really enjoying it. It's a really well written book that gives you a good introduction to the emerging field of Collective Intelligence. Segaran does a great job of taking the theory and mathematics and applying them in practical ways to real world problems.

The examples in the book are written in Python. I'd love to have the time to play with rebuilding them in Smalltalk or Common Lisp. However, I barely have time to even read the book. So, it's back to Python for me for a while. (Just between you and me, it's making me giddy to get back to Python, Emacs, and the down and dirty hacking that I used to love.)

So, if you're interested in Web 2.0, the modern application of Artificial Intelligence techniques, or doing really cool things with Python then you should grab a copy of this book.
