Wednesday linkfest

- Interesting thread about Google’s origins. It’s not the best source, notes from a 2003 talk, but it mentions a few facts I hadn’t heard before of annotations being the goal of Pagerank, not search. (From Googlesystem)
- Transclusion. This was one of the coolest ideas from Nelson’s books Literary Machines. Saw this mentioned by chance in a few places this week. Makes me think of Clarisworks elegant object sharing and Microsoft’s clunky OLE.
- Dying professor gives last lecture. Anyone in CMU circles knows about this one, but for those who don’t I highly recommend it. Unexpectedly good and inspiring.
- Information week’s new blog, The New age of Innovation. This smells of MBA business school hype-laden rhetoric, but I haven’t poked around enough yet to pull out the hatchet. If you check it out, let me know what you think.

Hi Scott,
I checked out the “The New age of Innovation” and liked it from what I read so far.
Would be great to know what you thought.
