Web Startups are Threatening the Future ... I ignore a lot of the news I come across on a daily basis. One recent example is the lay-offs at web companies. It’s just all a bit too depressing, really. So why am I blogging about it? Well, I’ve related it to a bug-bear of mine today. The lack of sensible business planning in internet...

It’s The Economy, Stupid!... Barely a day goes by where we don’t hear about climate change. But what nobody is really talking about is the economic impact. That’s why, for the second time, I’ve joined forces with Francis Irving to get people, business and Government motivated on climate change for the economy. It’s...

Evolving Web: Guardian Delivers Full RSS... To my extreme satisfaction, The Guardian newspaper has become the first in the world to offer full text RSS feeds, representing a significant step in the evolution of the World Wide Web. This step should be a paradigm shift of sorts; the first domino to fall; and hopefully more newspapers will follow...

Yahoo!’s Delicious Fails at Usabil... Not completely, but enough for me to blog about it. When making changes to your site infrastructure or architecture, it’s important to consider links coming into your site. For example, I may want to change the URL structure for my blog posts, to include the year and month in which they were posted....

How Chris Brogan Got Me a Link Without K... Mark Cahill is someone I’ve always known of and respected, so I was delighted to find (albeit a bit late) that he’s mentioned (and linked to) me in one of his posts. I wanted to share it with you because it goes to show just how much more valuable Social Media is than SEO. In the comments,...

We are starting to see the beginnings of the Christmas season now, with shops beginning to put out Christmas stands and adverts with...

Ladies and Gentleman; Yahoo! Web Analyti... We probably all knew this was coming since Yahoo! purchased IndexTools, but now it’s official. Yahoo has launched Yahoo! Web Analytics. I’ve been using IndexTools for what must be five years now. Before that, I was all about WebTrends as well as a short stint with Urchin. Having explored...

While eBay Stumbles Off, I Might Stumble... Give me a second to get over the self-induced confusion over that title. Okay, done. If you didn’t already know, I abandoned StumbleUpon a while back citing a couple of frustrations, including the toolbar. So my ears (fingers?) pricked up a little when I spotted, via Marketing Pilgrim/ReadWriteWeb,...

The Evolution of Orange Juice… Oh ... It’s funny what can get your brain working. This morning, for me, it was this: It’s all about the cap. Remember when all orange juice cartons were smaller, fatter and you had to cut the corner off? And every time you opened a new one you just knew half the carton would end up on the worktop. Then...
