The great meeting of Metamend’s minds did not happen as scheduled last Friday afternoon. We were going to hold a staff think-in about Google Personalization but too many people were in too many different places Friday so we rescheduled the meeting until Friday March 9th.
That was unfortunate because I had hoped to have a number of things to share about our brainstorming on Google’s personalization of search results in this post. A positive aspect to postponing the event is that more facts are starting to emerge about personalization. On Friday, Gord Hotchkiss released an excellent interview with Google’s Marissa Mayers. The day before, Bill Slawski offered his take on a series of Google patents pertaining to personalization.
Another week of reading, learning and thinking is not going to hurt, especially when one considers that Google has spent the better part of three years developing their innovations on personalization. Besides which, there are other interesting things Google is doing this week.
