RSS

April 30, 2006 · No Comments

It's hard to imagine RSS will be exactly same as today 10 years later.  But I don't see any standard group is actively working on improving it.  If we view RSS as the "Abstract" of a reasrch paper, it does not have "Key Words". 

I understand Buy.com. It extends RSS by adding "Product" tag. Anyway, RSS is a kind of XML and XML should be extendable, right?

We have Yahoo Directory, then Google Search. We have schema, then tagging.  Time to consider mixed?

CAPTCHA

April 21, 2006 · No Comments

Used this technology many times when commenting. Today I know its name: CAPTCHA. It's another way to take adantage of Turing Test.  People can leverage easy stuff, and can leverage hard stuff too. For example, using one-way function for cryptography.
