Thought this was a nifty tool. A startup firm in the UK, Delib, has created a Flash based app that allows you to map out an argument consisting of two opposing views. I had a dabble with it and generated the map below…
Clearly, I have not found a practical or professional use to this app [...]
The Online Itinerary site TripIt has just opened up it’s API to allow 3rd party developers and other Travel companies to tap into it’s very cool organize-your-travel application. Here’s an old post about TripIt on TechCrunch…
I have a lot of friends in the online travel industry… some of whom I hope are reading this… as [...]
So… after reading this BBC article about browser wars (again) a friend of mine was telling me about IE8 and I found myself responding cynically about how with Mozilla FF, Safari and Chrome… I’ve got enough browsers to work with. In addition IE8 seems to copy some of the most recent features (eg. the recent [...]
I’ve never seen this type of PPC marketing before… not only are these advertisers bidding on each others trademarks or brand terms, they’re using the ads to hang out their washing and publicly battle things out.
This definitely goes well and beyond what’s commonly accepted as guerilla marketing. In fact I’d go as far as labeling [...]
I’m in Doha, Qatar at the moment visiting some family, and found this article particularly relevant. TheRegister post refers to how IBM has stepped up it’s research in Cloud Computing by teaming up with Universities in the US, Qatar and South Africa. The projects fall in various fields and range from Oil and Gas to [...]
Looks like Yahoo’s Ad Exchange platform RightMedia (RMX) is being targeted by a Harvard academic about some deceptive ads getting through it’s ad exchange.
New CEO Bartz must have a huge list of priorities on how to get Yahoo back on track… and I don’t imagine this will be very high on her list… but it’s [...]
Google has just released a Google Experimental version of it’s search engine, with some quite nifty features… just click on the link above… or at the bottom of a Google SERP…
- Alternate views of Search Results:
> Map View (check this on the olympics)
> Timeline View (check this on nanotechnology)
> Info View (check this)
> List View [...]
I thought this article on MarketingVox, about the trust-worthiness of online news, was a good one to share… I particularly found this statement interesting:
The survey found that online news is highly trusted by two-fifths (40%) of those in the UK – second only to word-of-mouth recommendations, highly trusted by nearly half (45%) of respondents.
I would’ve [...]
A few weeks back after watching an interesting documentary on the BBC, I wrote this post about the environmental impact of our use of the web, and green browsing. In a very relevant article The Times paper in the UK published this article about Google’s carbon footprint.
The article is very hype-y and alarmist and TechCrunch [...]
It’s interesting to see how things are evolving. As per this article on EyeForTravel (although not very relevant to Travel in my opinion), Yahoo have developed an app that allows users to interact with MySpace on a new generation of web-connected TVs.
I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time before other players and sites (especially [...]
