An Open Letter to Apple Regarding The Company’s Approach to Conversation with Its Peers and Its Community

John Battelle's Searchblog

Dear Apple: We miss you. Once upon a time, back before you got real popular , you used to take part in the public square. You may have been less forthcoming than most, but at least your employees would speak at industry events, have unscripted conversations with journalists, and engage in the world a bit here and there. But over the past few years, things seem to have changed.

Apple Makes Its Move to Become the Google of App World

John Battelle's Searchblog

This is very interesting news, but not unexpected if you've been paying attention. Note in the past I've predicted that Apple will not do web search, but will do "app search," because app search is essentially broken, if you can even call it search to begin with. It's more like directory navigation at this point. Today Apple announced acquisition of Siri , a personal assistant app that includes voice recognition and search capabilities.

On Google's Brand

John Battelle's Searchblog

Yesterday a reporter from Cnet called and asked me a few provocative questions. He was writing a piece on Google as a marketer, and wanted my point of view. I'm not sure when his piece is coming out (or if my thoughts will be included), but our conversation helped me crystalize my thinking around Google and its brand, so I figured I best get it written down.

The Gap Scenario

John Battelle's Searchblog

* It's been a longstanding thesis of mine that Google's ability to reorder information in microseconds, based on our declared intent through a search query, has habituated us to expect an immediate and relevant response from nearly every website - and in particular, commercial sites. In time, I think this expectation will leak into realspace as well.

I've been using Foursquare for a few months now, and I'm impressed with the service on many levels. But I have to be frank - the most impressive thing about it - at least in this test group of one - is what it *could* be, not what it is. First, the caveats. I use Foursquare, for the most part, on a Blackberry, which means the app is limited by RIM's hardware and software.

A Note to Twitter Developers: Alas, It Was Ever So: Now, Add Value, Post Haste

John Battelle's Searchblog

Several moves by Twitter in the past week have Twitter developers understandably nervous about their future. Many of them have labored for months, if not years, to create applications on top of the open Twitter ecosystem, and they've created a lot of value in doing so. They have "filled holes" in Twitter's often bare bone service, creating Twitter- reading clients , Twitter application stores , Twitter filtering tools of all stripes, even Twitter analytics tools.
