People I should research on.

Following are people I am thinking of researching on.

They are the founders of Katlix, acquired by Google in September 2003.

Interesting Link about social information mining on Sepandar Kamvar's site http://kamvar.org/social_text_mining

Now, after reading the above link about social information mining, I have this idea of mining SNS such as Facebook and Google+. Eventually I am going to put data in a database and correlate with many variables such as location, punctuation, shared link, number of likes and +1, weather.

Mining social information is essential in understanding human relationships and friendship. Of course, online activities do not constitute everything an individual does, but it is still essential in learning the social life of many individuals.

I think it will be interesting to compare and contrast the difference of the user in the online world and the real life.

Data will be enormous, but I am hoping it will be big enough to fill up my 1TB hard drive with just data. If data gets too big, I should be implementing compression algorithms to save space.

Since Google recently started Google+, I think it will be interesting from now on, and see who dominates the market in the following years. I think the key essential to Google+'s success is the ability to add on 3rd party apps.

This will create a whole new market for Google, and I am sure they are going to do it in the near future.

Motherboard with bolted on SSD.

Motherboard with bolted on SSD is going to be sold. The hard disk that gets connected to the motherboard automatically becomes a hybrid drive!

This can give search engine performance a boost, I believe.

Interesting Google App Engine application - Evite

The most interesting part is the data synchronization between Oracle RAC and App Engine datastore.

I'm wanting to know how to use both MySQL and App Engine datastore in some sort of way.
