The iPad launch and Google’s slice of Live Search

I do want one, and I am in the target market, but as a colleague of mine pointed out, it’s not actually a Mac, it’s still the iPhone OS, so it retains the control Apple want.
In fact if I think about it too hard I don’t want one. That succinct marketing message stating that over [...]

Search & Social: the new navigation and the advertising dilemma

Well, well, well – I never thought I’d live to see the day! And it truly is a momentous day. Twitter results will appear in both Google’s and Microsoft’s search engine results pages!!
I have to pinch myself. What a convergence. I mean I know we saw this coming, but how on earth can any of [...]

Digital Marketing Made Simple

The below deck is the final presentation that I made while working as a Knowledge Manager at iCrossing. Rather pompously entitled ‘Digital Marketing Made Simple’ it’s a rather complex looking Prezi presentation, incorporating everything I’d learned in my 9 years at the company! I stumbled across it and thought I should stick it on the [...]

Internet Ad Spend has overtaken TV!

Wow! What a headline… what an historic day!
Digital marketing geeks (like me) have long heralded the day when this would happen. Indeed as early adopters and believers in the positive, unitrusive, measurable nature of the internet we prophesied it.

Here are 8 reasons why Google Reader is the best RSS reader to use:

Bing – winning in the attention markets?

…Bing does appear to be winning in my attention market! Especially with ads like this…

Waving or drowning: Google Wave

Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year.
Interesting… I mean the timing is interesting… I’m sure any tool launched by Google in the web 2.0 era will be awesome (with this much fanfare > there are 1990 linked Google news articles to the original Reuters article [...]

How to: improve Gmail

Finally… a useful improvement to Gmail!
I recently (at SOMESSO with @amayfield and @craighepburn) got to quiz a Google Gmail engineer (!) about improvements to Gmail (IMO one of the worst email clients despite it’s portability). I started off by suggesting that creative types (yes I do know a few!) would really benefit from the introduction [...]
