Trusted Filtering.

I found this article from Bruce Eckel on next Internet Revolution. http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=236404
This reminds me paper I had written couple of years back on performance based filtering.

Couple of weeks back a friend and me were discussing about product / service reviews in various sites and blogs. Are they not commercially motivated?

Another incident came to my mind is when I was working a lab level for a product support. My products used to run on IIS web server and it wasn't working fine a specific customer case. Customer googled and got some suggestions to change IIS configuration. IIS administrator just went and made the changes suggested by the site. It didn't solve the problem and look it didn't created also a new problem. Me and my mentor had discussion about it during the time about people blindly trusting the blogs and web.

How to trust a website or content in a website? How do I know that it is not commercially not motivated? The article is opening a lot of questions!!

Any way the news papers content I don't trust any more. Read this artile about TOI

Go Kiss the World.

I haven't written or read any things for last 20 days or so. Little busy with life. In the work also I am finding something interesting to keep me motivated. Trying to make things better through the system.

Thursday (Aug 7th) evening I picked up a copy of the book from the Sapana books house Indiranagar. I went to buy another book and saw this one on the shelf. I was just glancing through the pages. The random page I opened was where he talks about the mistake in his career to join the Bell/Lucent. I just felt connected with book at that moment. I had a copy of this book with me when I moved to the billing counter later.

After the dinner I sat with book in my reading chair. It was almost 1 AM midnight when I finished the last page. It was highly inspirational and writing style also will keep you reading till you finish it. Friday morning on the way to office I shared the book with my cousin.

I am undergoing a early mid life crisis and searching in the dark. I was feeling like running away from life and career as it doesn't motivates me any more. I felt some there was some messages for me.

I also found the mp3 of his interaction IIMB students.
