VRM Hub meeting in London
If you didn’t get a chance to come up to this time then Adriana Lukas and Ian Delaney has great write ups. If you really have no idea what I’m talking about then you should look up the VRM project wiki and the VRM one-pager on Adriana’s blog.
This should be a regular monthly, so look […]
IAB Engage for search 2008
I’ve always had huge respect for the IAB and Guy Phillips, so was delighted to have the opportunity to speak at their annual search event.
The subjects covered by the various speakers were diverse ranging from analysing offline to online behaviour to the emergence of mobile. Unfortunately I was still travelling up from Brighton during the […]
Cop in trouble for hanging out in a porn neighbourhood
A School Cop is being investigated for linking to a friend’s MySpace page containing a link to a porn site. Why? Because you could get to this porn site in just a few clicks from his profile page. Hmmm, you could get to the same page with just one click from Google.
I’m not expecting […]
The day Spannerworks became iCrossing
That’s right, today the place I’ve worked for over the last six years rebranded as iCrossing UK. This was no big surprise and I was a big fan of the partnership, still, it was kind of weird hearing people answer the phone as iCrossing.
It’s been an exciting year and being part of the iCrossing […]
Life as media
Great coverage of the DDL conference in Germany by Jeff Jarviz. The session with Richard Dawkin really caught my attention. Being an avid follower of the religion of life – you know, the one that believes in this one. I’ve always loved Dawkins and a particular fanatic of the idea of humans as meme machines. […]
First look at Wikia
OK it’s been a couple of days since the launch of the social search engine and my earlier disappointment has been replaced by a sense of – well – apathy. I’m no longer angry at the crappy results or the fact that their crawler had managed to completely miss by site.
For any commercial searches (You […]
SES San Jose 2007 - Evil link buying
The session on paid links was probably the most heated discussion this year. Rather reminiscent of the click fraud debate last year. Unfortunately for Google’s Matt Cutts the odds were stacked against him, being the only search engine representative on the panel. A real shame that all the other engines stayed out of this […]
Google AdSense funding terrorist
According to Jim Hedger from Webmaster radio, Google’s social network Orkut and the adsense network is being used by several organisations to fund terrorism. At the search engine strategies conference in Chicargo, Jim held a press conference to make his findings public.
He claims to have evidence which is currently being investigated by Google, which […]
Webmaster World Las Vagas 2006
If like me you didn’t make it to Vagas for the 14th WMW conference, there’s some great coverage at Webpronews including interviews with Matt Cutts from Google, and Brett Tabke who started WMW. I haven’t had the time to go through all the video, but there’s even more talk of social media than ever before. And […]
