- R. Ferguson
Many of the evangelical groups which claim to support Israel really only support Israel because they think that in doing so they can hasten Armageddon. I'd say though, that these Christians represent a small minority of Christians in general. I have heard that Palin's church claims that Alaska will be a "refuge" during the end times which they believe are near, so I'm not sure how far...

Ryo: Google [palin armageddon] [palin dominionism] [palin cnp] [palin john hagee] for all the telling details on her connections to religious extremists and Armageddonist fantasies. She is firmly embedded in an ideological and social network that is praying for world destruction, as soon as possible. Her main sponsor in the Republican Party is the CNP (Council for National Policy), which was founded by Tim LaHaye, the author of the Left Behind series.
- Sean McBride
@Sean Yes, of course you're right, but there are degrees. The "how likely is it to be in my lifetime" kind of thing. Most of his immediate followers thought it was imminent. The scary part (as per the poster) is the people who think they can accelerate it by forcing the fulfillment of prophecy.
- mikepk
Michael: good point: monotheistic sects vary considerably in the intensity with which they focus on imminent End of the World scenarios. The most frightening belief of all is the crazy notion that one can accelerate the coming of Armageddon, the Messiah, the Second Coming, etc. through human aggression. Sarah Palin is closely associated with that branch of Christianity, and she is already making noises about military confrontations with Iran and Russia.
- Sean McBride
the irony of Christianity being demonized probably doesn't hold enough potential energy to be a useful stopgap anymore. Solutions and direction are what we need rather than more diversion and derision.

Has anyone actually read the Bible, the apocalypse is a battle brought on after a never before seen time of PEACE. Ignorance!!!!
- Mike Lewis
As soon as religious extremists start injecting their crazy ideas into public policy and daily governance, they become fair game. In fact, ridiculing them then becomes a matter of urgent moral and practical necessity. The American Founding Fathers wisely sought to separate church from state.
- Sean McBride
Sean McGee, it's one of my favorite aspects of FriendFeed: seeing no religious proselytism here but seeing a ton of anti-religious posts (or posts smugly mocking religious people).
- Akiva Moskovitz
If anyone is being mocked here it's people who think that we need to accelerate our way towards a global war of devastation on a scale unimaginable. I have no problem with mocking that particular religious belief. As I've said before the vast majority of Christians don't hold these views and we aren't mocking them.
- Chrimmus Tad
Akiva -- I respect the right of people to believe whatever they like about religious matters -- that is a sacred American principle. Nor do I think religionists should be ridiculed -- on the contrary, many religionists are highly praiseworthy. But when characters like George W. Bush start to take Americans as a whole into self-destructive wars on the basis of extremist religious beliefs, then I think one must speak out, simply as a matter of self-preservation.
- Sean McBride
Akiva - another example. For many centuries antisemitism was enshrined as a core belief in important strains of Christianity, including Roman Catholicism and Lutheranism (Martin Luther was a virulent antisemite). These religious beliefs played a major role in producing the Holocaust. More Europeans should have expressed strong opposition to this brand of religion before the worst happened.

- Patricia
Who's lumping anyone in with all Christians? People who have this idea that Armageddon can be hastened to bring about the end of days or whatever it is deserve all the ridicule that can possibly be heaped upon them.
- Chris Johnson
Eric, and who determines which beliefs are stupid?
- Akiva Moskovitz
I do, as the one doing the ridiculing. But that's not the point. The point is that religious beliefs deserve no special deference or respect simply because they're religious in nature. I hold them to the same standard of reason and evidence that I do any other assertion.
- Eric P
Akiva - many Muslims believe on religious grounds that the state of Israel should be destroyed. Christian Zionists believe that all Jews must either convert to Christianity and accept Jesus Christ as their savior or be exterminated by the Second Coming of Christ. Do you treat these religious views with respect? (Others here: Akiva is pretending that he isn't reading my posts. Someone else should ask him these questions and see if you can get a coherent answer.)
- Sean McBride
And mainstream Christian belief isn't exactly any more sensical. I don't see someone as having the grounds to criticize apocalyptic mythology while touting virgin births, angels, and a zombie resurrection as some kind of rational alternative. One is just as firmly grounded as the other.
- Eric P
Oh, so what you're saying is that you don't feel you should have to be respectful of other people's beliefs if they don't meet your personal criteria. Gotcha.
- Akiva Moskovitz
No, I don't feel I should have to be respectful of other people's beliefs. You say that like it's a bad thing.
- Eric P
Akiva disrespects, holds in contempt and loathes the beliefs of many others, including many other religionists. He is not making a lick of sense on this point. No group is more capable of hating other religions than religious fundamentalists -- they outdo atheists in this department.
- Sean McBride
It is.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'm surprised by the level of ignorance on display by some on this thread. No, take that back. Not surprised. Shocked, but not surprised. And ignorance is probably much too kind of a word, but this is my early morning, and I'm too groggy for an accurate descriptor for this specific combination of stupidity, smugness, and insensitivity.

I get the feeling that the FriendFeed "block" function isn't working as it is supposed to. Some of the folks I've blocked are somehow able to view my posts on this thread, apparently.

Mark Hopkins' answer to those of us who are concerned about the effects of fundamentalist and Armageddonist beliefs like those held by Sarah Palin and her co-religionists on American policy and governance? -- we haven't read and *understood* the Bible.

Akiva can't handle rational challenges to his irrational belief system without becoming conspicuously dysfunctional.

Quite a few of them he no doubt finds to be threatening. I know I do.

They need to get smarter first. MindMeister gets close with the nodes you can click on to search for pages related to the node. I want to create a mindmap and have it suck in my bookmarks related to each node on the map via tags. That way I can just build the map, have the research I have done before come to me and then move on from there.

Anyone remember "The Brain"? So much promise - but it didn't quite work. Mindjet is a really good but doesn't integrate well enough into my todo / project managment solution.

I loved The Brain. I used it for web site architecture, too

Mindmapping is a useful construct. We used it with the major scenarios of our last software release and -- with MMPro and a TFS Plugin -- exported them directly into Microsoft Team System. Cool.

Any good web-based Mind Mapping solutions? Ultimately I'd like an Evernote for Mind Mapping which would run everywhere.

As I mentioned early --I'm a mindmapper junkie...and doing it collaboratively via mindmeister in real time has been great with clients.

Al: www.mindmeister.com :) (multiple user updating real time, one touch Skype, jottable notes via 1. “My Geistesblitzes” = widget (Windows and Mac compatible) 2. SMS (Twitter) or 3. e-mail plus moticons, smilies, and tons of visuals galore. Once complied, the map can be exported and shared in various ways; which for a free service is phenomenal, plus the data can be exported in multiple ways.. I blogged about it here -> http://bit.ly/1EdpIG)

If Obama doesn't hit back with overwhelming strength, using more force than the Rovians, he stands a good chance of suffering the same fate as John Kerry. McCain is highly vulnerable to the Rovian tactics he has apparently endorsed.

"The 5 million people on Obama's e-mail list are just the start of what political strategists say is one of the most sophisticated voter databases ever built. Using a combination of the information that supporters are volunteering, data the campaign is digging up on its own and powerful market research tools first developed for corporations, Obama's staff has combined new online organizing with old-school methods of voter outreach to assemble a central database for hitting people with messages tailored as closely as possible to what they're likely to want to hear. It's an ambitious melding of corporate marketing and grassroots organizing that the Obama campaign sees as a key to winning this fall."

This seems like at first blush they have taken many of the advances the Bush campaign made to the process and pushed the envelope even further with better processes and technology. This is good. Question though, at what point does the analytics so thoroughly drive the political message that there is no original substance left to a candidate? And does more intimate awareness of differing views of voters only increase the risk of the candidate being viewed as a flip-flopper (with multiple messages everywhere)

"the Plurk crowd is far more mainstream then the mix you see on other services." I think that's what people are missing. Plurk's whole look and feel has a very MySpace/LiveJournal look to it. Something that doesn't appeal to myself and, probably a lot of others on the "tech space" (or whatever you want to call it). Plurk is more or less for people who might not quite understand why the...

Ok, I've been thinking a lot about sites like plurk, myspace and facebook, all of which I myself find really freaking annoying to use and cumbersome as hell. Yet the mainstream people or people I'd look at as novice or noob internet users love that sort of thing. Seems the more complicated *I* think it is, the more that other demographic loves it. They seem to get off on it.
- Paul Short
directeur, try the mobile version or via Plurkair, I'm more comfortable with a Twitter style layout. What I'd say to everyone though: just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't...this is never going to be a first adopter/ geek service...nor does it have to be
- Duncan Riley
I tried Plurk. Heard about it on TWiT and thought I'd give it a shot. That was the first and last time I will use it. It's definitely for a younger crowd. My Sixteen year old cousin thinks it's great.
- Candace
meh
- adolfo foronda
I'm excited for Plurker (http://is.gd/S5y). I'd like a more Twitter-like interface, and the mobile version is too primitive
- pb30
I think I'm riding the same boat Paul is on. The more complicated the service appears for the "techie" crowd the more mainstream it turns out to be. Weirdness!
- Scott Jarkoff
@Candance Holly sorry Candance, just because PLURK is more emotional and creative than other services doesnt mean the Plurk crowd know nothing why iPhone is such a big thing, or why MAC vs PC is such a debate that will never end. To me your words sound like having prejudice against creative playfull stuff and their users. Sure the Plurk interface needs some corrections... like a better timeline, ect. MY resume is: Plurk is nice and gives you a chance being creative every time you log in. I prefere twitter.
- Margit Hinke
tried it - still have an acct and folks still follow me but i'm a non-active user - figured i'm not in the target demo is all - i can see how it will appeal to some especially non-twitter & friendfeed inclined folk

That's a really fascinating article. As an aside, does anyone know if any of Google's competitors have a "chief economist"?
- Ian Betteridge
Few years ago I was consulting for ENI, one of the biggest energy group in the world and they used to have economists and of course a chief economist. I know in Fiat group they have economists roles too. Banks and financial services are also common employers for economists roles.
- Marcello Del Bono
A very interesting article. I think Google will be much bigger than Microsoft in a very small amount of time.
- Toby Graham
Alot of large companies have legions of economists on the payroll. Generally speaking the job is to estimate the state of the home market and pinpoint the best foreign markets. The job is brilliant because it involves sorting through data, but awful because it involves attending lots of meetings and powerpoint presentations..sorry, got a little sidetracked
- Steven Cains
Toby, Google has a LONG way to go to overtake MSFT. In FY2007, Microsoft had revenues of $51 billion, compared to Google's $16 billion, with operating income of $18 billion compared to $5 billion. The only measure by which you can put the two in the same league is column inches on blogs :)
- Ian Betteridge
In other words: Microsoft makes more in profits than Google makes in revenues.
- Ian Betteridge
Another place Google excels over MS: a far more adept Corp Comm group.
- Sprague D
Ian: Yeah, but Microsoft's been around for much longer than Google, and Google's caught up that far in this relatively short period.
- Brent Newhall
Some thoughts on the article and a pattern at the NYT: http://www.ratdiary.com/2008...
- Sprague D
Brent: Quick growth like that isn't actually as unusual as you might think. For example, Apple grew from a $1 billion business to a $10bn one in the ten years John Sculley was CEO. Google has grown to $18bn in 12 years. Google is riding a fast-growing market - but how far will online advertising expand? Will it continue to dominate that market, when there's no "lock in" (as there is in the software market)? There's too many questions to say that Microsoft will be beaten by Google any time soon.
- Ian Betteridge
Ian: Oh, certainly agreed; I don't think Google's going to beat MS's market share or earnings any time soon. Just saying that Google has grown quite far, quite fast, and if the trend continues, things will be interesting. Of course, trends rarely continue.
- Brent Newhall
I didn't see anything new in the NYT article but it confirms what I already thought - "winner takes all" on the Internet Front. I suppose the only thing, now, that can stop Google, is, perhaps, the Internet, itself, collapsing - something that's not that likely.
- Marshall Sponder
To me the key point of the article--and the most meaningful difference between MS and Google--is the former coerces to achieve its network effects while the latter co-opts. This reveals a more fundamental difference in world view: negative versus positive sum.
- lang davison
“You have to be big and bad, not just big.” time will tell if Google goes past MS profits. But the article raises an interesting question about the behavior of big companies. Hard to tell which direction Google will go, especially if the global economy darkens. Morals hold pretty well in good times; not so sure during the bad. Temptation is perennial.
- phil baumann
@ paul: I agree. The thing is that in these perilous ecomomic times we now live in, Google cannot easily consolidate like outher industries would to help them get over the worse.Google may well arrive at the point that it cannot continue as it is.
- Roberto Bonini
In all those emails subpoenaed from Microsoft, are there several stating "say, let's all apply the network effect today!"? I just have trouble believing that either company was premeditated about this network effect during their first 5 or 10 years. Its just economists analyzing it long after the fact. Microsoft is arrogance, bluster, and jumping up and down on stage. Google instead has something called "execution". Versus the 5 years Microsoft spent on Vista, for which the word is "train wreck".
- Indio Apache
Seems like a puff piece. The author has clearly not read "Linked" by Albert-László Barabási (one of the world's leading experts on network effects). On page 103 (you can read the preview on Amazon), Barabási compares Google and Microsoft. He says Google exhibits the behavior of a "fit get rich" network, in which the fittest node becomes the biggest hub. "The winner's lead is never significant, however."
- Karim
Barabási then describes a second type of network, "winner takes all," in which the fittest node grabs ALL the links (star topology), and behaves like a Bose-Einstein condensate. "And there is a network in which we cannot fail to notice one node that carries the signature of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The node is called Microsoft."
- Karim
@Karim, Steve Lohr, the writer, specializes in Google puff pieces.
- Sprague D
So, basically, you have a NYT hack job authored by a guy with a history of writing pro-Google propaganda :-) saying "Google is teh new Microsoft" on the one hand, and one of the most important scientists of the 21st Century telling you that Google and Microsoft aren't even in the same league on the other. Hmmm. Hmmm...
