OSTG’s feed audience has tripled since the company adopted FeedBurner's feed management services. Coincidence? We think not. Seems fitting to take this opportunity to formally welcome the OSTG family to the FeedBurner family and our ad network. If you think we're geeked out about this news, just imagine how happy we've made the advertisers clamoring to reach the influential audience of people subscribed to technology feeds. OSTG joins a long list of technology publishers using FeedBurner including IDG, Ziff Davis, Wired News, Ars Technica, TechTarget and many, many others.
The top-ranked network of OSTG technology sites includes Slashdot.org, ITManagersJournal.com, NewsForge.com, Linux.com, SourceForge.net, freshmeat.net and ThinkGeek, one of the few places on the web where you can purchase Caffeinated Lip Balm.
We think Rich Marino, OSTG, Inc.'s Group President, sums it up best with the following quote which we've carefully extracted from today's press release. “We are delighted to be able to offer advertisers the opportunity to deliver pertinent, selective information to our fast-growing and loyal online community through the FeedBurner Ad Network. FeedFoundry tells us that over 30 million ad impressions are available each month, and our available impressions have grown 10% in the last two months. This represents a tremendous growth area for us in 2007. OSTG brings together a highly proactive and interactive group of professionals that is keenly interested in new, innovative products and services. FeedBurner equips us with the most accurate tools to analyze that demographic group, providing our sales team with important statistics for advertisers interested in reaching our audience.”

最近 Google 发生了两件比较有趣的事情。其中的一件是 Google Apps 服务中的翻译错误:"即使通信"("即时通信"之误)。我是从 Zola Blog 上看到的。相信有不少用户也都发现了这个小瑕疵。到现在为止，谷歌还没有作出纠正。我倒是很希望这个事件能够在他们的黑板报上作一下说明。Google 黑板报刊登的内容如果都是散文诗会很没有意思。
Google 最近的负面新闻多了起来，这个事件或许也能当作 Google 不懂中文的一个证据了。
另外的一件事是关于 Google 的 UI 抄袭(或者好听一点说是借鉴)。Yahoo! 大名鼎鼎的 blogger Jeremy Zawodny 在 Google Blatantly Copies Yahoo!? 这篇 Blog 中多少表达了某种不满。与之相呼应的是，Google 的明星 blogger Matt Cutts 旋即 写了一篇 Blog 作出了"解释"，但是 Matt Cutts 话题一转，拿 AdWords 的 UI 样式来说事，那意思是说 Yahoo! 以前也抄过我们的。我个人觉得 Matt Cutts 这样的态度多少让人觉得是做了错事在找借口。 非常有趣的是，Matt Cutts 是从 Robert Scoble(前微软的著名Blogger) 处得知这一消息的。

this blog is now 2 years old & 865 entries wide. time to thank you, my dear reader, for your continuous loyalty. please keep suggesting intriguing data-driven works!
last year I asked whether there was still enough material to post about. now I wonder what most 'infosthetic' works have in common: is it the attention to superficial decoration, a creative design approach to visualization, the desire to merge beauty & functionality, or a general lack of effective information communication?
an aesthetic representation of weather data, "designed to stretch the way we understand weather data". using real-time RSS feeds from user-selected geographical places, the application creates an artistically-driven space that dynamically changes as the weather changes over time. different variables (e.g. humidity, wind direction, wind speed, temperature) determine the visual parameters of the animations (e.g. bar size, direction, orientation, color).
