As I’ve said before vertical search is where it’s at these days and while I work on a couple of products of my own I’ll take the time to recommend someone else’s product.

Recently I’ve had to do some research in the health area for a particular rare condition and I’ve been trying various search engines. So when I came across Kosmix’s Beta search for health I was pleasantly surprised at the results. So if you need health info give Kosmix a try.

Do you think Alexa data is useless? Well I’ve never been a big believer in Alexa and Matt Cutts from Google, among others, would seem to agree with me. So anyone who disagrees with me read this:

Thoughts on Alexa Data - Matt Cutts

Today at the International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles, Eric Anderson of Space Adventures presented an update on his companies successes and future plans. Among the future plans is the first space tourist ride to the moon and back. The cost, a paltry $100 million. Who would be interested in spending such a fortune you ask? Well none other than Greg Olsen who recently spent a week on the Space Station as Space Adventures last customer. He said he was seriously considering it but jokingly said he would have to sell another company.

Anyone else ready to sign up?

I’ll be in Los Angeles starting later today until Sunday for the annual International Space Development Conference hosted by the National Space Society and the Planetary Society. I’ve just learned that they are now expecting over 1000 people to the conference which is fantastic.

I think having two of the most promiment space advocacy groups joining forces for this event was a great idea. Kudos to George Whitesides and Louis Friedman for coming together on this.
