Use of J2EE/EJB

Jon Udell has some initial thoughts (and more) as part of an article he is working on. He explores the pros and cons of using a J2EE container/EJB architecture for development.

This is something we have also been looking at for our enterprise software suite. Currently, we have taken a collection of open-source programs (SQLedger, OpenCRM, Ralata, DataVision) and made them work together with a common database (PostgreSQL) at the backend so that we have to Only Handle Information Once (OHIO).

We have been debating whether we need an Application Server layer. Am looking forward to reading Jon's article.

Hi Rajesh,

It was good to be a part of ESW. I am currently doing a J2EE/EJB project for HP (our client) using ATG Dynamo Application server. Based on my experience, I would say that J2EE/EJB should be used for projects with large scale and preferably the projects involving development from scartch. To some extent, J2EE is not fit for projects involving integration of various software packages.

Search Engine for People

Allen of GlobeAlive argues that "we have fine search engines for documents, but not for people."

People aren't searchable. They're the most important resource in the world, and they re not searchable, they're scattered to the wind. There's no "people" tab at Google (and "groups" isn t the idea at all). That person you want to talk to right now (and that wants to hear from you right now) that needle in the haystack of 6 billion, is out there, I promise, but you ll never find them, because the magnet you need to do so doesn't exist. I want to build it.

The bottom line is that when we restrict our interactions to people we already know or the people that happen to be in the chat room or community we join, it's like restricting our information-gathering to the books in our personal libraries at home, it's a mathematical certainty that we’re selling ourselves utterly short. The island mentality is the root of this problem. There’s an infinitely better way of going about our interpersonal interactions. It would change the web by making it live; it would change the economy by making it personal; it would change the world by making it smaller; and it would change you and I... by helping us meet.

I think we should connect with Allen. We had started BlogStreet with a similar goal - using weblog analytics to help us connect to the experts. More than just documents and information, we are searching for people. That's the missing Web.

Is a people search feasible. We can never compare webpages to people as a resource. A webpage always welcomes audience ( Eyeballs ? ), but a human does not. I dont want my email-id , my personal interests etc to be known to everyone ,especially not to those spammers or advertisement agencies. Even If would like to share some, I would not be prepared for that all the time.

Blogs and Google

There has been a lot of discussion in recent times about the impact that weblogs are having in Google's searches. Scoble writes about how there is apparent pressure from advertisers to downgrade bloggers because as Geoffrey Nunberg puts it (writing in the NYTimes) "Google now conducts 55 percent of all searches on the World Wide Web. People have come to trust the service to act as a digital bloodhound. Give it a search term to sniff, and it disappears into the cyber wilderness, returning a fraction of a second later with the site you were looking for in its mouth. A high place in Google's rankings can have a considerable value for commercial sites. Some go so far as to pay other sites to link to them to raise their standing."

Doc Searls has a alternate idea:

What would happen if the archives of all the print publications out there were open to the Web, linkable by anybody, and crawlable by Google's bots? Would the density of blogs "above the fold" (on page one) of Google searches go down while hard copy sources go up? I'll betcha it would.

My point: Maybe this isn't about "gaming" algorithms, but rather about a situation where one particular type of highly numerous journal has entirely exposed archives while less common (though perhaps on the whole more authoritative) others do not.

This is a point also echoed by Joi Ito: "If the big print media put their archives online and made them crawlable and linkable, I bet their page rankings would go up. It's really the links between the archives of the blogs that gives blogs so many links. The solution to googlewashing is probably more about getting other forms of journalism published in a more link-friendly way than filtering the blogs."

Dave Winer says it all: "Google is just indexing what's on the Web. If you want to be in Google, you gotta be on the Web. It's pretty simple."

That was an interesting article by Nunberg, maybe soon we might start seeing Google indexing blogs separately (they are already doing this to news sites - Joi Ito's argument might not entirely hold) so this might just be a temporary phase...

But who knows... Could Google be a competition for BlogStreet?

;)
