The Web

Advertising can work

June 30, 2009

When it comes to advertising on the web we complain bitterly and use any tools we can to make sure that we don’t see them. Whether they be text, image or video we decry the pointlessness of advertising. The thing is when it comes to video ads that can be done right, done so [...]

Best quote yet about Opera’s Unite non-feature

June 18, 2009

I have made no secret of what I think about Opera’s newest hot feature that they say will transform the web. Both on The Inquisitr and The Cynical Bastards podcast (which will get posted later this evening) I refer to it as repurposed old web technology with splashy social media buzzwords wrapped around it.
As hard [...]

The passing fad of an anonymous web

June 18, 2009

When blogging first started out much of what was written was done anonymously with made up names. Over time we seem to have shifted naturally to using our real names but in some cases that anonymity was something some bloggers felt they needed to keep.
Those days may be falling by the wayside as more [...]

Sneaky e-commerce is pissing me off

June 12, 2009

I like buying things via the web. I’m a regular customer at Barnes & Noble and TigerDirect. There are web services I’m more than willing to pay for as well as more than a few developer sites.

Ballmer admits to the value of ‘verbing up’ but gives us bland instead

May 28, 2009

It’s nice to have my opinions about something, even if in a round about way, verified as being even close to on the money. It doesn’t happen very often and especially not from the level of a Steve Ballmer.
I took a lot of flack recently over a post I wrote at The Inquisitr that [...]

Email, or how the old dog needs new tricks

May 14, 2009

Electronic mail, commonly referred to as e-mail, is probably one of the oldest consumer computer protocols and user clients. In the years that it has been in use it has changed very little. Sure there has been attempts as with IncrediMail and other similar email clients to spiffy it up and make it more [...]

Can Google afford the real-time and semantic web?

May 13, 2009

Google makes its money from AdSense and AdWords based advertising. In fact they make billions of dollars off of the simple act of selling keywords which then people create ads around. The idea that Google makes any money directly from their search business is a fallacy.
Every penny they make is based on keywords.

Time to stick a fork in Feedburner – it’s done

April 15, 2009

If there is one company that has been around for almost as long as there has been blogs, besides Technorati – but that’s another story, it has to be Feedburner. At one time two of the first things you did when starting up a blog was to get hooked into Technorati and to get [...]

When small brick and mortar shops win

April 2, 2009

Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know how I feel about businesses on the web who limit the ways that people can purchase stuff. Sure a growing number of sites selling stuff are adding the option to used bank/VISA debit cards but at this point that option only works if you live in [...]
