* Andy on JB evolution – “We will have a significantly revised site by the end of the first quarter. I’m looking forward to it” * Phil on privacy implications of new mobile gmail app – “Add on the privacy concerns and this is clearly a feature that users should be warned about and given the option to disable” * Phil on rebate scams – “Having been burned, I now avoid most rebates like the plague” * Dave on the collapse of Search Engine Watch – “It is clearer than ever that Danny Sullivan was the driving force behind SEW - allowing him to leave (and start a competitor!) was a huge mistake” * Jason on Berry411 – “the #1 technology that i could not live without in 2006” * Phil on google’s openness – “Google is increasingly becoming a data black hole” * Dave on badmouthing competitors – “There is actually a study that confirms that listeners assign the speakers the traits that they speak about.
