Ev confirms Google Blogspot AdWords Just noticed today that Ev's hiatus was remarkably short. A new design for his blog includes a disclaimer that he is not speaking for his employer. Anyway, as we speculated here a few days ago, Google is indeed targeting ads on Blogspot pages. Makes sense.

I love J.Ro's weblog ... but sometimes his inside-the-company voice gets distracting. I was picturing him commenting on NASA's new space planes, by posting something like: "Those bureaucrats are crazy building a new round of smaller space shuttles. What they really need is a Manila server and just give all the astronauts Radio weblogs and bang, zoom[~] off to the moon!"
Today, John writes:
Today, NASA released details of the e-mail exchanges (that occured days before the failed re-entry of STS-107) between NASA engineers on whether the shuttle would come apart on re-entry. In my view, if NASA was using weblogs throughout on their organization's Intranet, it would have helped surface the concerns of these smart engineers. In reality, the relevant decision makers were operating in a vaccum. A simple Intranet search on "wing or wheel well damage" before making the decision to recover the vehicle would have pulled up a plethora of interesting information and viewpoints that weren't considered.
