 Each month I will attempt to summarise the main stories that have affected the Search Engine industry.

 An article by Azeem Azhar (by way of Lance Knobel) caught my attention. Ever since my formative years, society has appeared to me to push people towards specialisation.
This occurs from the choice of subjects at school and university, to the advice of careers counsellors and then into the job market itself. Why is this?

An article called "Ending the pin down" over at samizdata.net takes a look at the possible future repercussions of the current political crisis over Iraq.

Good news for those of us who are constantly connected at work. The latest survey (as reported by Techweb) conducted by the Center for e-Service at the University of Maryland shows that workers who use the internet at both home and work end up spending more time using it for business.
This is because any time spent recreationally surfing during work hours is more than compensated by the amount of time that they spend working on the internet out of hours.
