YC-Funded Directed Edge Sees A Post-Search Web Where Recommendations Rule
That quote, by Greg Linden, the man behind Amazon’s recommendation system, is the dogma of Directed Edge , a new Y Combinator -backed startup in the recommendation space. Amazon, of course does product comparisons, but there’s no reason recommendations shouldn’t be a part of news consumption, music consumption, social networking, basically everything we do on the web. And while “ Whoever manages to change the nature of content display on the Web from a search problem to a recommender problem will reap tremendous rewards. ” 8221;

ZEMOS98: Losing my edge never felt so good…
Yeah, I’m losing my edge.

The Finance 2.0 Manifesto
Edge funds. An edge fund is the opposite of a hedge fund. Where hedge funds are opaque, edge funds are transparent. Where hedge funds are closed, edge funds are open. Where hedge funds are run for near-term gains, edge funds are in it for the long run. Dear G20 ,
It's confusing.

Greetings one and all in the land of Off Course; On Target. (OCOT Evidence to the contrary, I have not literally sailed off the edge of the earth, though figuratively I’ve come close to it.

The High Priests of IT — And the Heretics
Good thing, too, of course. Today, every enterprise of reasonable size uses general-purpose, Internet-connected computers under the individual control of their operators, because the risks associated with allowing employees the increased latitude that comes with these machines is more than offset by the efficiency gains made by the flexibility and power at the edge.
And yet, the spiritual descendants of the brave heretics who risked everything to compute at the edge have now become the priesthood . Though I've done time in corporate IT — and have even born the CIO title more than once — I've always had more sympathy for the firewall-breaking, virus-toting, data-leaking users than I have for the responsible and sober IT departments that struggle every day to keep the systems running while the users set out to dismantle it.

A Labor Day Manifesto for a New World
Of course, these individuals have been around since the beginning of human history and played a more prominent role in some eras than in others. They tend to gather on the edges where unmet needs intersect with unexploited capabilities. 0160; Edges are fertile seedbeds for innovation. We speak on behalf of the creatives who are passionate about their work.
