John Battelle 條理分明的介紹這篇論文有趣和有意義(worth a read)的地方,論點十分有說服力,有興趣的人可以直接找原文來看,不過 John 也警告大家這篇論文有很多數學,大家自己看着辦(grin)。但是敝人覺得 John 的文章中最大的亮點是他提到 Brin & Page 的文章在 Google 創業之前並沒有一炮而紅,而是...couldn't even get their paper accepted。想到像 Brin & Page 這樣的大才尚且有這般經歷,似我等這般凡夫俗子,在投稿歷程上屢敗屢戰也不是什麼稀罕的事了。想到這裡,連日陰霾的心情似乎有點好轉...
First, the paper's authors, both of whom have worked at Google, clearly have a sense of potential history here, in that they not only crib Google's original paper's title, they also mirror the first line (substituting "Aardvark" for "Google", of course). Now that's some b*lls. Of course, when Larry and Sergey first presented Google, they couldn't even get their paper accepted (it took three tries, if I recall correctly. Someone should write a book about that...).
John Battelle 認為這件事是個寫書的好點子,what do YOU think?
