Quite simply, some charts that may be of interest. For example, note how Apple is supplanting Microsoft in search volume; that PR may be peeling upwards away from advertising and even marketing; the relative fortunes of Google+, Facebook and Twitter; social media may be levelling off; and, especially heartwarming for me, Star Wars is much [...]

Just how fast does a PC need to be?
Estimated reading time: 2.5 minutes (plus 4:13 if you watch the video all the way through) In an effort to get myself back into blogging habits, and to make sure I’m up to date with everything I need to be up to date with, I’ve decided to set myself a schedule. So, today is tech [...]
Bad instructions are worse than none
I work in an annexe – not, as some people suspect, a cave. This annexe has all mod cons. It has electricity, windows, a roof, even a toilet and shower. But it doesn’t have a telephone point, so my wireless network signal just about makes it through the several doors, walls and windows but is [...]
Oh, Vienna! One example of good tech, three of (very) bad.

The reaction was almost one of scorn: that I was a loser for having interest in such matters, that social media was totally irrelevant to one’s life and there were much more important things to be bothered about. Quite apart from this being [...]
Everything’s disconnected
Web 2.0 is truly integrated. It’s made up of nicely interconnecting platforms stuck together with RSS glue. I can post to Twitter from Facebook, or from my mobile phone, or any of a number of alternative services. I can read Google Reader on my mobile phone. I can show my Pandora channels on Facebook. But [...]

While I used that post as a case study to present some ideas that I hoped you may be able to use on your own blogs, there’s a hidden hitch with that kind of post: it can give you the impression that you should be aiming to triple your revenue each time you hone a promotion on your site.
