I met with Weigend, the former Chief Scientist of Amazon.com in Shanghai tonight. It was a great experience to talk with them on the new ideas around blogging and social software. I totally agree his two principles on new generation of software: 1) Fast Feedback 2) Low threshold for participation. Dr. Weigend believes with tags and analysing of user's behavior, we can create something very new. I agree. He took a picture of us with his Palm and send it to Flickr. :-)

Later, when he gave the keynote speech for KDD'03, I knew for the first time that the hottest search query on Amazon.com is "vibrator" at least as of the time he gave the speech. Hehe ... I didn't know if everyone else who attended such an academic-oriented conference, particularly ladies, might feel such revelation appropriate; but I feel that talked a volume about his personality.
