Connections #050 – History of the Internet: Part I (Past)

Stan Relihan — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 09:41:17 +0000

Vinton G. Cerf is Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google. Widely known as the “Father of the Internet,” Vint (together with his colleague, Robert Kahn) is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and basic architecture of the Internet.

In this episode, Vint discusses the precursors, origins and early days of the Internet – including the efforts he and his colleagues put into ensuring the widespread dissemination, acceptance & adoption of their protocols.

For anyone that’s a fan, (or even just a normal user) of the Internet – this is a rewarding glimpse ‘under the hood’ of the technologies and the remarkable man who helped invent them.

Connections #021 – Spock – The People Search Engine

Stan Relihan — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:00:34 +0000

Jay Bhatti is a very intelligent & highly-articulate 34-year old Wharton Business School MBA graduate and Entrepreneur. Based in San Francisco, Jay is co-founder of Spock.com, a People Search Engine, which launched in Public Beta in August 2007.

For those that are curious, S.P.O.C.K. is an acronym for ‘Single Point of Contact by Keyword’ – and represents a new concept in Search – devoted exclusively to finding, indexing & profiling PEOPLE on the Internet, rather than just documents.

One of the uniquely attractive aspects of Spock is that it combines Machine Search with Human Interaction to add, update & validate content, in a Wiki-like fashion. Good behavior is rewarded and bad behavior is penalized through an innovative concept: ‘Spock Power’. This is an element I predict will catch on and end up being widely adopted by Web 2.0 sites, Social Networks and other applications on the Internet.
