Microsoft's Robert Scoble Discusses Search Engine Technology From Search Engine Lowdown - An Interview With Robert Scoble. In my recent article “The Future of Search Engine Technology”, I looked at a lot of developments that might happen in the future, that would improve search technology. I strongly believe that we are witnessing the infancy of search engine technology, but I wanted to hear what others had to say. Today, we start a series of interviews with prominent experts, insiders and search engine developers to hear what their thoughts are for the future.
If you’ve been online for any length of time and work in any industry connected with the Internet, you would heard of, Robert Scoble. The Microsoft employee maintains a daily blog(when he’s not working to get the word out about Microsoft’s new “Longhorn” operating system) where he gives his thoughts on all things Microsoft, while also casting a critical eye on the competition. Scoble does a great job of keeping a distinct line between what’s “official” and what’s simply his opinion.
I was fortunate enough to catch him taking a sabbatical from his blog and asked him his thoughts on the future of search engine technology. Scoble did ask me to note that the following represents his personal opinions, not Microsoft-vetted opinions. (Click Here To Read The Interview)

Cool Calendar Application For PDAs From [The Scobleizer -- Celebrating the Geek lifestyle] - an excellent PDA calendaring application - DateLens. Calendar applications for small handheld devices such as PDAs are growing in popularity. This led us to develop DateLens, a novel calendar interface for PDAs. It supports users in performing planning and analysis tasks by using a fisheye representation of dates coupled with compact overviews, user control over the visible time period, and integrated search. This enables users to see overviews and to easily navigate the calendar structure, and to discover patterns and outliers.
