    The 10 Fastest Growing UK Websites

    …by audience (sourced Nielsen, as reported): Two things strike me about this: First – I’m not surprised at all by the growth in the ‘pimp your profile’ sites (Rock You, Slide, Bunnyhero) but it does express again how technology is becoming a form of content in its own right; Second – Linked In. Don’t know…

    Fighting Crime With Ones and Zeros

    This video is not new but I saw it for the first time yesterday (in a cab of all places) and kind of liked it. It’s an IBM promo done by OgilvyOne about how data architecture and management have transformed how the NYPD fight crime. It was, according to the Commissioner, a "classic case of…

    Snack Culture

    I’ve been tagged by Gavin on the MediaSnacking meme, the concept of which is around people consuming small bits of information and entertainment whenever and however they want. The original video which sparked this off seems to suggest that this a youth driven phenomenon, but like Gavin I believe this is not about age (don’t…

    Ad Age

    I've just been listed in the Ad Age Power 150 list, which is nice. Straight in at number 275, which I guess means that strictly speaking I'm in the Power 300 list, but I'm just happy to be in the company of some fellow brit blogs that I admire…John, Amelia, Giles, Jon, Iain, Faris…amongst others.

    The Myth of Youth Tube

    People (me included) typically assume that You Tube activity is weighted towards the young. Not necessarily, according to Bill Tancer of web information company Hitwise. In a recent presentation I saw him give (the same one where he revealed some very interesting stats about Wikipedia), Bill explained how the visitor profile appeared to fit with…

    With Age Comes Wisdom

    I saw a presentation recently from Bill Tancer, who runs global research at Hitwise. Bill (who was very  engaging) touched on something which I thought was fascinating (and to be honest, quite unexpected) when talking about Wikipedia. It seems that there is quite an imbalance in the age demographic of those who view Wikipedia and…

    Friends (Not)Reunited

    Is it just me or is Friends Reunited a bit pants? I got a ‘buzz’ note on e-mail the other day from someone who I hadn’t seen since secondary school. Nice to hear from him I thought, so I go to send him a note back. Oh, I can’t. Not unless I "upgrade my membership"…
