Welcome to the home of Noah Brier. I'm the co-founder of Variance and general internet tinkerer. Most of my writing these days is happening over at Why is this interesting?, a daily email full of interesting stuff. This site has been around since 2004. Feel free to get in touch. Good places to get started are my Framework of the Day posts or my favorite books and podcasts. Get in touch.

Wow, it’s been a big few days for Google. First they close the DoubleClick deal and announce they will be laying some people off, then they open up YouTube with a new set of APIs (full documentation) and now they’ve announced an ad serving platform for small-to-medium sized publishers. So basically you could build your own video service and sell ads for it no matter how big it gets all without leaving Google’s servers.
