Wired Tools 2004. The
web publication of the Wired Tools 2004 gift guide is as good a place
as any to remind you to send in your favorite guides to our Gift Guide
Round Up. I actually helped a little with this Wired list, in my first
(and probably last ever) contribution to the magazine. It's weird
writing for the blog, where everything I write after I click 'Submit'
goes out for everyone to read instantly, while things I wrote three
months ago for Wired show up in almost unrecognizable form. I'm not
grousing[~]editors are your friends, for reals[~]but it really makes you
realize how far removed web publishing is from print.
Anyway, it's a good list, especially the part I didn't do. Check it out.

The Magic of Google. The magic that makes Google tick?:
Good article about the miracle that is Google. Did you know they run
60,000 servers over there? That's a mighty big power strip.
Google indexes over four billion Web pages, using an
average of 10KB per page, which comes to about 40TB. Google is asked to
search this data over 1,000 times every second of every day, and
typically comes back with sub-second response rates. If anything goes
wrong, said Holzle, "you can't just switch the system off and switch it
back on again."

Content Management Processes vs. Systems. Content Manangement Without A System:
Here's a phenomenal essay that is so, so true. CMSs are not the pancea
to your problems. Content management consultants should concentrate
more on processes than systems. Wrap the latter around the former, not
vice-versa.
Regardless of the technology you use to enable your content
management, it's important to have some kind of publishing process in
place. Distributed authorship, for example, might provide a level of
control to your stakeholder that they demand, but it that alone doesn't
the guarantee quality, frequently updated and informative content your
visitors are looking for.
We've touched on these points before: look here, here, and here. [Gadgetopia]
