June 15 Hunch - helps you make decisions and gets smarter the more you use it.“ most of us must be very familar with many Q-A services/communities, for example, QnA@microsoft, zhidao@baidu, vark.com, etc. answers@yahoo!, etc. However, most of them are very similar to each other. You could ask a question, subscribe to answers to your questions, you could show you answers to some question, or you could explore some questions that interest you. Here, I would like to introduce hunch.com, a new innovative idea from the co-founder of flickr.com, Caterina. Hunch is a decision making service and community which could help you make decisions or find out the answers to your questions of some topics. It is technically an expert system over crawdsoucing. I think it becomes more and more obvious and important for the emerging services and startups to help people discover and decide on such as what they want, how they could do, why they should do like that... ? Collaborative filtering based recommendation systems, crawdsourcing based expert systems delivers such kinds of services at the first places, even though there is long way to run in the future... There is an article introducing more details about the new startup company and its service "hunch.com" from readwriteweb. Just follow the links below: or the chinese versions:
Take a preview:  Quots: Hunch is still in closed beta, but is accepting requests for invites. We're thinking you will want to sign up, though, after you hear what Caterina says about it:
June 12 传说中的海军陆战队“两栖蛙人”“
海军陆战队的训练，有人称之是“炼狱”，也有人称为“兽营”式训练。两栖蛙人队是海军陆战队的拳头部队，蛙人队员更是海军陆战队员中的“兵中之兵”，军事素质、思想作风、意志品质样样都是一流的，有着军中“神兵”的美誉。练体能，每人一个沙袋，操练绑沙袋、瞄准吊沙袋，一天24小时不离身；每人早晚手拎石砖跑两个5公里；早晚还得完成5个100:100个俯卧撑、100个仰卧起坐、100个马步冲拳、100个倒立、100个收腹。上午4小时环环相扣的基础科目训练:400米障碍、投弹、射击、拼刺刀、军体拳；中午1至2小时的“坐海”曝晒；下午紧接着海上武装泅渡、沙滩擒拿格斗……作为一名蛙人，除了掌握一般军人技能外，还要学会车舟驾驶、陡崖攀登、潜水爆破、地图判位、野外生存等军事科目。正是这“炼狱”与“兽营”般的艰苦磨炼，锻造了蛙人队员的铮铮铁骨。他们个个迎面能避刀，挥臂能断砖，顶头能碎瓶，攀檐能走壁，十八般武艺样样精通。        June 01 白领的陨落和黑领的崛起一个朋友推荐的一篇文章，白领的陨落和黑领的崛起, (http://carriecma.blog.esnai.com/archives/2009/104955.html), 虽然此文并非出自郎咸平，这在他的官方博客上得到证实，不过作者的思路还是很独到，语言也很犀利，值得一读；至于观点，各位看官就各自体会去吧  |
Look. Decision-making is difficult, and decisions have to be made constantly. What should I be for Halloween? Do I need a Porsche? Does my hipster facial hair make me look stupid? Is Phoenix a good place to retire? Whom should I vote for? What toe ring should I buy?|
