On the obvious

Aside

Why would google put Youtube sidebar (pop up) on Google+?

Because it is logical. Youtube has many great content. I love watching CN Blue video on it all the times.

Why does it feel awkward?

Awkward? How? You mean the pop up window? Because making the Youtube sidebar reside in G+ page would take space. It’s logical.

Will other button from Google product catalog follow suit?

Obviously. Perhaps. Aside from Youtube? Blogger?

Are you sure?

What? Why looking at me like that? Do I look like Vic?

Javascript is the new cool

Aside

Still on NLP. You’re read about UIMA and the Stanford parser (typed dependency) the other day. I’ve been wondering if there is an online service provider for Stanford parser. Lo and behold, there is. Although it is better to spend some cash and run my own Standford parser, this service should be suffice to test my idea. You can find it here, along with JSONP API to access it.

More resource on javascript and NPL, there are some on github. There are some Entity Extractors as well. And it concludes that some extractor simply cannot get away from using a dictionary. Maybe I will end up with one.

At the end of the tide

I holding “Naked Conversation”, reading trough one of its chapter.Apparently, blog projects for big companies had been started since 2003. I was still in college, getting myself familiar with Delphi. Eight years later, blog has gone mainstream. Even some may say: outdated.

That made me think, I and many of us have been trapped at the end of the tides for too long. WE never see the small ripple. But we always ended up being washed away by the resulting tide. That is probably the “perks” of staying in developing country. To make it even worse, the internet that has been helping us cutting the gap has also keeping us away from the ripple. Small changes, controversial innovation that may be the next mainstream.

Needless to say, given those ripples put up upon our eyes, determining the next mainstream will need eagle hunch. Still, the years of gap feels unfair. Those years may have been spent on learning and honing what matters most.

All we can do is cutting more gap, catch up faster. And hopefully we will land on the same plateu. Hear what everyone hear, see what everyone see.

Sounds like american dream eh?
