Ahh, tons of people are emailing me base.google.com (that’s a link to John Battelle’s blog, since I’m getting an error when I hit it). No, I still can not confirm, nor deny, where I’ll be the next two days. Let’s just say I’m not in Redmond anymore. ;-)

Yes, I still work at Microsoft and am still VERY excited about Microsoft’s future.

    Pinging base.google.com resolves to an IP, while pinging, for example, test.google.com or base.google.ca, does not resolve to an IP. That seems to confirm that there is at least something there.

    Weird; just noticed that base.google.com is resolving to base.l.google.com (that’s an L), but l.google.com does not resolve to an IP. Funny business going on there.

    I heard apocalyptic opinions about this (“GOOGLE TAKES OVER THE WORLD! OMG OMG OMG!”) earlier around the blogosphere. And the unfortunate thing is that I’m starting to believe them.

    I’ll wait before getting rid of my GMail, though.

    Robert, I thought it was public knowledge that you are at Google Zeitgeist ’05. But maybe you can’t confirm or deny that. That’s cool. I’m sure something will get you excited enough to talk.

    “Speakers on the agenda range from the top three Google Guys, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmdit to IAC’s Barry Diller to MSN’s Yusuf Mehdi to Yahoo’s Terry Semel to Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble.”

    Anyone else sick of google trying to take over everything and be everything they hope they can be? I want a simple search engine.
    I signed up for a GMail account back when you still need an invite and I hardly use it. I don’t publish that email, none of my friends even know I have that email address. Yet after two weeks of not looking at it, 376 spam messages.

    I go to http://www.google.com for one and only one reason. text search, I don’t search images, I rarely use maps.google.com, I don’t search newsgroups, I don’t search blogs and I don’t search local.

    Do one job and do it good, not a ton of jobs and mess one or two up.
