Guess what? The TextDigger team has spun back out of Federated Media, proud to still have FM as our partner as we begin a new stealth start-up --- launching soon! on June 05

It's a childish and trivial argument, which of the Avengers is the best (Iron Man, Hulk, etc.). Still, people are totally missing the obvious answer. I explain here: http://tech.federatedmedia.net/youre-wrong-avengers-greatest/ Hint: It's a lesson about artificial intelligence. on October 31

Twitter is trying to herald a new "kinder, gentler" patent agreement for technical employees to sign. They want this to catch on in the industry. A noble cause, but I think it won't work in its current form. Here's why: https://tech.federatedmedia.net/twitter-ipa-lets-real/ on July 20

Lots of lessons for startups here, including how to get narrower ad targeting not to *shrink* your sold inventory but actually *expand* it (do easy trick but we did it at FM, using TextDigger tech!) http://tech.federatedmedia.net/conversation-targeting-put-experts/ on June 06

In "Toshi's living room" 26th/Broadway having coffee before the CM Summit begins nearby. Looking forward to Battelle interrogating, er, I mean interviewing Barry Diller. Can IAC still be relevant in a Post-web 2.0 world? I mean, besides eVite! on May 14

TextDigger sold a major asset today to FM, while TD keeps its core search tech, on which it will focus going forward..... I move to FM as Chief Scientist but remain an affiliate of TextDigger as their Senior Research Fellow. We're excited! http://bit.ly/cldgbw on August 23
