6:45 AM - Google engineers start new search engine
Google finally has some new competition. I predict that they will end up like Yahoo down the road. It might not be this engine, but someone will de-thrown them from search.

I've been using Google for several years. I'm thinking about trying some alternate search engines. I just realized you can't easily change the default search in safari like you can in Firefox and even IE.
Apple doesn't seem to have a preference for it and cuil's FAQ incorrectly suggests there is a setting. I can't find it. A search on cuil returned one useful hit, but the site was pulled down. They also don't seem to cache pages like Google. I decided to use Google to look for an answer. There are two options.
Oddly enough, it's easier to change on the iPhone where apple could lock users in. I may stick with Google, but now I feel like I'm forced to. It's sad as I like Safari in my any other ways and have even been using WebKit in BSD for browsing.
I found a website that tracks users and topics of IRC chat rooms.

Microsoft is offering a free service to stream video via Silverlight with ad insertion. I think that might be a nice service for sites to add streaming content. The only problem is that you need Microsoft Expressions software to actually create the content. If I've got to buy software, I might as well go with Flash which is supported on more platforms. There are also a few programs that can create Flash content in the open source world. Microsoft needs to get Silverlight support finished on Linux/BSD. Novell is working on this for Mono.
I'm experimenting with some new blogging features on just journal. We'll see how it goes.
