Another new innovation from Google. They are so far ahead in the search game and every innovation basically accelerates them away from MS and Yahoo even faster. I’d characterise SearchWiki as a blending/blurring of search and bookmarking. They need to unify it with Google Bookmarks, Search History and Notebook which will probably happen over the coming 12 months. The outcome is the going to be a searchable bookmarking and annotation system backed by Google’s index ...Shared by _alf (4) Duncan Hull (0)Contribute comment - Academia.edu - 'Academic' site's virtual scholars (1)

Daring Fireball (30) permalink
Fascinating excerpt from Malcolm Gladwell’s soon-to-be-released Outliers: The Story of Success: This idea — that excellence at a complex task requires a critical, minimum level of practice — surfaces again and again in studies of expertise. In fact, researchers have settled on what they believe is a magic number for true expertise: 10,000 hours.

- Jon Winstanley said: Awesome article about genius.
- lishevita said: Genius takes 10,000 hours, or about ten years of 3 hours a day, to blossom into world class success says this article. So, if you aren't a world class expert at anything today, what do you want to spend 10,000 hours refining? Or what are you already putting your hours into?
- Sandra said: Craig...this is an excerpt from the article the highlights a similar statistic to the one I like to use about soccer players.
- Kenny Stoltz said: Reshared from Mike.I like the idea of this... expertise in a job would take 4.8 years. That probably explains the 5-year-itch, etc. But it doesn't really explain the burnout: why would you spend 10,000 hours at something to be an "expert" and not leverage your expertise? I suppose the best explanation is that human beings are flawed (or at least irrational).

One of These Things is Not Like The Other (2)
permalinkYou can't get very far in cheminformatics without the ability to compare one molecule to another to find either an exact structure or substructure match. For example, if you want to build chemical databases, a good substructure matcher comes in very handy. As luck would have it, the substructure match problem (a variant of the subgraph isomorphism problem) is both computationally expensive and difficult implement. This article discusses one approach to the problem. Background Recently, ...Shared by Duncan Hull (0) mndoci (1)
