@Bo Cowgill: Bo,
Did you get my email


@Andreas Weigend: Just wanted to confirm the due date for hw6. Is it 1st June?


Did anyone else make a live web recommender for links? If so, post it here. I am intersted to see what other people did.

Here is mine:

@Bo Cowgill: In case you didn't already know, your article on google's prediction markets was eluded to in the latest Wired!

Here is a link to the article: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-06/st_essay


If you get a 503 message, it is because you are being too aggressive with the del.icio.us servers and got throttled. Here is the link that explains it:

Is anyone else having problems with the del.icio.us assignment. Everything was working fine and then suddenly I started getting this error. Is any one else experiencing the same thing. Looks like the server crashed.

Hey, all:

TechCrunch mentioned Friends For Sale. Especially interesting is the mention of competitors:

to help me get data for homework 2.


@Ashlee Miller: Hi Ashlee,
I've gotten more explanations for some speakers but not all. The poll's at http://www.polldaddy.com/p/516585/ if you want to check it out. Hopefully it should be ready soon. I'm just waiting for the green light on it now.

Also see http://www.google.com/support/googlea... if you are using the newer tracking code.


I have learned you can track individual links to pdfs and other non-html content with Google Analytics, but it appears to require moving the tracking code (see http://www.google.com/support/googlea...).


@Quinn Slack: Quinn - Are you getting the level of detail you need on the Guest Speakers to create the poll? Please let us know.


@Andreas Weigend: I am unsure of the due date of HW2. I know that you talked about the assignments for the first part of the class on Monday, but I don't recall the exact due date for HW2 nor is it on the wiki that I can see.


I added a section to the bottom of HW2 on the wiki for people to place links to their homepage. Seemed like an efficient way to visit everyone's site quickly and generate a lot of good data.

I am collecting data for HW1. Thanks! I will do the same for you - send me an email with your website link.


@Michelle Olenoski: Congrats on the job. I'm also very interested in Amazon as a subject. I'm sure Andreas knows a bunch. My friend has a contact there too, maybe I could get in touch with him.


@Shaun Maguire: Your team's initial wiki for Class1 was great!
