First Time On the Links This Year

I can’t believe it’s already May and I just golfed the other day for the first time this year. Especially since I live in San Diego and you can play all year round, pathetic.

I checked out this newer course in Oceanside called Arrowood. If you’re in the San Diego area I’d recommend checking it out, it’s a nice course and they don’t charge and arm and leg like others do.

And just in case you’re wondering I shot 54+41=95. The first few holes killed me as I worked off all the rust.

Is Delicious The Best Search Engine?

Last year I wrote how Delicious was quickly becoming my search engine of choice. It looks like Rand is starting to feel the same way about it as he compares several Delicious search queries to Google.

The problem with social search is that it’s not yet ready to replace traditional search. While Delicious is great for finding certain things it’s nearly impossible to find good results for others. Case in point, long tail search queries.

Although it has significantly improved since I wrote the post last year, there is still a long ways to go before it can gain any sort of market share in the search industry. There just isn’t enough people bookmarking content yet, and I’m not sure that there ever will be.

What do you think? Do you like using Delicious as a search engine and is it better than Google?

Digg Riot

Looks like the Digg crowd is rioting.

This will be very interesting to see how it all plays out. Will it be the straw that breaks Digg’s back?

Update: Gotta respect Kevin Rose for taking a stand and doing what’s right. Well done!
