I have been playing around with a neat widget, by Paddypower, which (with a few clicks of the button) you can use to provide live news about the World Cup into your website. You can also change the look and feel and decide what content you want. If you are into the Wolrd Cup and have any Footie sites, please try it out on your site by going to… Continue reading...

Next week (15-19th of Feb) I'll be at SES London. I'm helping Incisive Media out on the moderating and I also have a presentation and - new for me - I'll be running a site clinic on the Expo floor on the first morning.

Ever since Microsoft's failed "briefcase" concept on Windows 3.1, it seems the whole world has been crying out for a better way to work on different computers.

Each sheet contains a list of at LEAST 1000 cells, and each cell contains ascii. I need a list of duplicate cells in worksheets 2-5 which do NOT appear in worksheet 1.

I'm delighted to see Receptional's official internet marketing blog made Lee Odden's top 50 list. I think that once upon a time Dixon Jones itself was on the list, but it seems I have been slacking! Dixon…

Larry Page's "Page Rank" algorithm happens to work on predicting the exinction of animal species. Continue reading...

I came across this article from Business Insider alleging IP theft under NDA and my experience with large agencies does nothing to help WPP. First the article: (reproduced with permission - they have a neat linkbait trick on their articles. SO nearly well implemented for SEO. Never mind guys.
