Good essay

http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html

I wish there was some way to know if these links would even work in ten years, or even five..

The problem with web links is that they point to something that might not be there tomorrow. The librarians of the world are coming up with a archival web link system, which would permit me to create a link to that article and know that it will still work fifty years from now, but it’s taking them a while – which is hardly suprising, when you consider how large the web is.

[I bet there’s more than a hundred terabytes of porn out there for any one taste 😉 I don’t know why people are commenting on the adult entertainment industry’s shutdown, it’s not like we don’t already have enough porn.. ]

I want google to support a ‘whistle into the mic and we’ll find you the song’ search mode.

Bleh.

    Google may not have such a feature but there is code out there to recognize music via small clips. It’s currently being rolled out on cell phones in the UK – http://www.shazam.com/uk/do/home.

    Google’s working on it, I would lay good odds.

    They had voice recognition code for a while — query by phone — but it’s not up right now.
