Sunday, March 25th, 2007I’ve had ‘bloggers blog’ for the past couple of weeks - a complete lack of posting on Gizbuzz was the consequence. I’ve now got over it - well, sort of.
I’ve lined up about 4 drafts in the Gizbuzz system, which have the first paragraph written. So, over the course of next week, all I need [...]
GMail Spam
Saturday, March 24th, 2007The spam filter in Gmail used to be excellent - I never, ever got spam in my inbox, despite sticking my email address in text all over the internet. In the past few weeks, though, I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting much more. Is anyone else seeing this? In other gmail irritations, today I was [...]
It’s quite likely that every reader of this blog has already got my Twitter address, but in case not, you can get the latest ‘what I had for breakfast’ updates on Twitter at http://twitter.com/huw . It’s really addictive!
Trillian Astra
Sunday, March 4th, 2007I’ve just taken up an invitation I got a while ago to try out the alpha version of the next version of Trillian, and I’m typing this blog entry in it now. I don’t like it. I usually use the Gmail GTalk client, and I love the minimalist style of it which just does the [...]
2020 vision
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Elements of the Labour Party (led by Alan Milburn, former Health Secretary and staunch Blairite and Charles Clarke, former Home Secretary) have set up a website designed to come up with new ideas for the party’s future called The 2020 Vision. It’s going to be all new media, with blogs and comments included. At the [...]
Posting from Google Talk
Monday, February 26th, 2007This is an experimental post using an IM bot called imified.com. I’m writing this in GTalk, and this will apparently be posted to Waah. Whilst such a service is of slightly limited value (I can quite easily login to the Wordpress editor), it is slightly quicker. This might make me do more short, Twitter-style updates [...]
Google will buy FeedBurner
Friday, February 16th, 2007I’ve written before that I think Google should buy FeedBurner, and I think (for admittedly very tenuous reasons) that the acquisition might be getting closer:
The GReader Team just announced that Google Feedfetcher would report subscriber numbers when requesting feeds. This is essential for services like FeedBurner to get accurate numbers (as Google only fetches a [...]
BBC web principles, etc
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007Well worth a read for anyone behind a website.
BBC’s 15 Web Principles
They are the basis of a new strategic review being conducted by the BBC of its web strategy, and I think they make a lot of sense, not just for mammoth organisations, but any organisation which isn’t purely aimed at one very specific [...]
Funny, ridiculous, ironic and great
Sunday, January 28th, 2007This blog just got accepted into the TLA program, after the PR update of this week which saw its PR go up to 4.
Funny, ridiculous and ironic because Gizbuzz hasn’t been able to get into the program previously, despite having far far more traffic than this blog because its PR as published by Google was [...]
A little logo redux
Sunday, January 28th, 2007I just found this redux of a whole load of corporate logos in the Web 2.0 style:
Its odd when you think about it that such an important sector within the American economy has carved out such a different branding style. I do like some of the above logos more than the originals, particularly BMW.
