Martin Varsavsky:
"Last night during dinner I finally was able to tell Sergey and Larry about my idea for creating the type of IM that Google could launch that in my view could beat Instant Messenger. My concept for revolutionizing chat is based on something I said before, that text of the kind I am using right now to write this blog is obsolete. If you think about it text is great only because you were trained for 12 years or more in most cases to use it. Otherwise text sucks."

Very strange. If you go to Dirson's blog you can still click on some of the links. Some of the photos have been deleted, I don't know why...

This is the replacement set of 5 photos

However, the "missing" photos can still be accessed by simply viewing the photostream from here onwards:

... or you could resort to http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/2006/inside_google/, as it has become a TIME life report.
