Kołcz is an info-science heavy, having published numerous research articles in publications like The Journal of Supercomputing, Neurocomputing and Neural Networks. He appears to have a special affinity for spam crushing, something Twitter must struggle with a whole lot. As use of the service grows, so too will the importance of its search - especially given the very public nature of Twitter's data.
Bing powers search not just at Microsoft, but at Yahoo as well. Combined, that means that the search technology Kołcz has been the lead scientist behind has performed 12% of all searches in the United States. There is only one Principal Scientist at Bing, but it appears he's now gone to Twitter.
Update: There appears to be some question about just how unique Kołcz is as Principal Scientist at Bing. Microsoft is a giant pile of people with impressive titles, but no one else describes themselves as a Principal Scientist on Bing in their LinkedIn profiles at least. Jan Pedersen, however, does describe himself as the Chief Scientist of Core Search at Microsoft. I'll do some more investigation to try to determine how central Kołcz has been on Bing.
There is huge, untapped potential latent in Twitter search. The company's database struggles have prevented meaningful archive search, for example. That's a whole lot of history gone down the tubes.
Bing announced that it was including Twitter updates in its search results more than a year ago, in what was presumed to be one of Twitter's first big money-making deals.

"I've never made out with him," Lauren Leto told me last week, between puffs of a Parliament Light. The 24-year old brunette, rocking a little black dress and flat boots, was debunking my suspicions that she might be romancing her notoriously cute business partner, Patrick Moberg, the talented artist perhaps best known for making the website NewYorkGirlofMyDreams.com in 2008.
Leto and Moberg recently launched the well-funded start-up BNTER, a site that stores the best conversations between users and their friends. BNTER comes on the heels of Leto's big Internet hit, TextsFromLastNight.com, the website that earned her two book contracts, a TV deal, and, reportedly, lots of money. But back to girl talk: "It's the same with [Texts co-founder] Ben [Bator]," she explained. "I picked such attractive co-founders, people assume we must all be dating. But, no, no, no. We're co-employees! And the thing people don't understand is that when you're, like, writing checks with someone — when money is involved — you become so sexually unattractive to that person." She exhaled. "This is why I can never get married."
Leto was smoking outside an East Village apartment playing host to the Silicon Alley version of a singles mixer — a meet-up for users of HowAboutWe.com, the dating website Brian Schechter co-founded on Valentine's Day in 2010. Users suggest date ideas or contact people whose ideas they like. "How about we go to an underground supper club?" was among the site's most popular date ideas during its first year, so Andy and Ashley — a couple who met on How About We — decided to throw the soiree, and Apt. No. 4, a traveling group of foodie friends, worked the kitchen, supplying lobster bisque and teriyaki char and drinks. Leto was a featured single on How About We this month: She answered every question with a quote from the Kelis song "Bossy"; she said she was at the party to support Schechter and not necessarily to find a man.
Nick Gray, the quick-witted Williamsburg party boy, would have it otherwise, though. "Lauren and I haven't dated yet, but I'm trying," he told us. When Leto offered no reply, Gray joked, "Awkward ..."
How About We's Schechter, meanwhile, admitted that online dating might always carry a stigma: "People say [the stigma's] decreasing, and soon there won't be any," he told us. "But when you go onto an online dating site, in some way you're confessing, 'I don't have what I want,' which is not necessarily an attractive thing. People tend to find someone attractive who has what they want. So I wonder if it's actually a psychological or cultural or almost biological thing: 'I want the one who doesn't need.'" He added: "I do think it will become increasingly normal. It's efficient. And a site that's about having fun and not confessing, necessarily, that you don't have something you want, is more likely to attract people. You're just saying, 'I want to try new restaurants!' Etcetera." Schechter has a girlfriend who he didn't meet over the Internet, but he said he still gets several e-mails a day with the subject line "How about we ...?"
Gray is one fan of the site who hasn't had much success on it yet: "I think my date ideas are intimidating to some people," he told us. "I used to think that I was a real catch, and now I've only had three people who wanted to go on my dates. Some people write, 'How about we get high and eat pizza?' and they get, like, one hundred people interested. And I write, 'Let's go to Rio for New Year's Eve!' Or, 'Let's go to Greece and open a falafel stand!' And people are like, 'Eh. Weirdo.'"
Leto claims she doesn't send many late-night texts of her own anymore because she gets up at six every morning, "so nervous" that something might have happened overnight. Telling us she still "lives poorly," she admitted she recently got an apartment of her own in Brooklyn. "I bought furniture, and I'm an adult," she added. But of dating in New York, Leto lamented: "Everyone wants something from you."
What she wanted from me, at least half-seriously, was less attention. At one point, she pretended to have stolen my tape recorder so that I couldn't report on her any further. And when I asked too many questions, she said: "This is going to seem like navel-gazing for myself. No navel-gazing allowed!" But she's just so good at all this, I informed her, as at least half the men at the party tracked her across the room. On cue, with a seemingly legitimate confusion, she asked, "Good at what?"

bench craft company Making money with a blog can be easier than you think. People can make hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars a year with a good blog. Here are some tips for maintaining one.
First, you have to get a web host. While this is fairly obvious, it's important to note that most of the free blogging sites won't be very conducive to advertising. It's best to buy your own domain name and build your website from there. However, this is very inexpensive, especially for a blog because it doesn't require much server space. Figure around 10 dollars a month. If you have a good blog, the profit will obviously be exponentially enormous.
Figure out how to code HTML. Most of the time, blogging software will cost you money, which will inevitably decrease your profit. HTML is easier than one would think. The best thing you can do is at least give it a shot. There are plenty of manuals on HTML that you can find for free online.
Figure out a good topic. Find something that fits three criteria. First, make sure it's something you're passionate about. This will making writing for it less tedious, and because it's less tedious, you will want to do it more, thus garnering more readers. Second, find something that people want to read. If you're passionate about dissecting small animals, it's going to be hard to build a large subscriber base. Next, and perhaps most importantly if money is your goal, find something that's conducive to advertising. You want something that companies will relate to and want to post their ads for on your blog. The more relevant your ads are, the more clicks you get, and thus, the more money you get.
Once you start posting, keep posting. Even if you have a base of subscribers, blogs can and will die of old age. Nobody wants to constantly visit a blog that takes forever to update. Try to keep your blog updated every day, so subscribers know they have something interesting to look forward to after work. Even better, make multiple posts a day. While it sounds like this could get monotonous, don't worry about it. If you keep the content coming, you'll keep the readers coming. More interesting material means more for people to read, and thus the larger chance that one reader will link his or her friend to your blog.
Connect with your readers. Leave a space open for readers to comment, and when they comment, comment back. Forums are so popular because you have the chance to talk to people and have conversations. Make your comment area seem like a forum. Actively participate in it as much as you write the articles. If readers can talk to you about your writing, they'll keep coming back to respond.
Making money with a blog is a very good idea for those who either want an extra income, or, if they really get a good blog, want one source of valuable income that they can get without leaving their computer chairs.
