Google Link Dump (or not)

For the first half of last week, the links I'd scavenged as potential for the digest post were almost exclusively opinion pieces on Google. I have weeks like that. I find an interesting rant, or some generic blogging advice, and into the pile it goes. Then I sit down at the weekend and wonder why it's there, because it has nothing to do with Micro ISVs. I think it's because the entry potential threshold goes way down when there's not a lot happening. Fortunately, the second half of last week provided enough good, relevant links to make a worthwhile post.

So, I'm left with a handful of fairly interesting Google articles, a quick re-read through each one reveals very little worth sharing. Yet each one turned up on most of the social bookmarking sites. If, like me, you're getting sick of ploughing through page after page of "recommended" links to find anything worth reading on digg et al, you probably don't want to see them all again.

I'll stick with just these two:-

Google - Fuzzy Math from the economist
Google & Dilbert

The best Google links last week made it into the digest post, because they were definitely relevant. The update to the Adwords API, and the forum thread on Adwords tools. Someone out there must be working on projects based around all these new APIs and services from Google, Amazon etc. I wish I had the idea, the time, and the energy!
