You’ll recall citebite, the citation tool that worked fantastically with Firefox, and not at all with IE? Well, now it does. Well done, guys. (and thanks for the reminder, Stuart). I’m honour-bound to break the news of the existence of a potential competing service, though. Ranjit Padmanabhan tells me he’s launched a product called Dashnote. He [...]

Old? Geeky? Check out this amazing-looking blog. Even more surprisingly, it’s apparently built on Wordpress. Technorati: blogs, wordpress, themes

Brian Clark is a tremendous blogger and copyblogger is a tremendous blog. You’d hope so, really – the guy is a copywriter and devotes his blog to passing on the tips of the trade. Really valuable information for anyone involved in writing at any level. This week, he’s been holding a poll on whether or not [...]

Charlene Li of Forrester Research has now released (blog post) her research paper into measuring the return-on-investment (ROI) of business blogging. I was promised a copy of the paper when I signed up for a webinar on the subject back in October, so hopefully I’ll be able to report in more depth soon without coughing [...]

Have now upgraded the blog to Wordpress 2.1. Most of the new features will be invisible to readers, as they should be: they’re mainly concerned with content management and foiling hackers. A big bonus for me is a new version of the invaluable Akismet anti-spam feature: it can now be set to automatically discard detected [...]

An article on CNet.com suggests that children born since 1981 are doing more communicating than ever before – albeit through different channels than their predecessors. They’re also used to being in control of their media intake. There’s no evidence cited, and I cringe at the jargon, but I can see the point they’re making about [...]

Attended the eighth annual Edelman Trust Barometer launch this morning (social media release here – hey – put down those pitchforks, angry bloggers!). I have to say it was a fascinating piece of research with all kinds of implications about how politicians, businesses and NGOs might change the way they behave and communicate in order [...]

In the three weeks since the year began, I’ve been hearing about a whole host of new, hyperlocal online community services launching: Outside In: aggregates local news and provides forums, etc. Parkmatch: social networking for parking spaces (yes, really). Front Porch Forum: email your neighbours. Placeblogger: aggregates local blogs. Peuplade: Parisian neighbourhood network; not a launch, but reported on by [...]

Mine isn’t. It seems slower by the week. And while getting a new PC is always nice, the last two or three haven’t really provided the sort of speed jumps that have historically justified getting new kit. Getting a new PC (or Mac; I use both) wasn’t a transformational experience of computing – I couldn’t [...]

Apologies for off-topic news, but there’s storm that has been brewing this week about the popular TV show, Celebrity Big Brother, which has allowed racially-inspired bullying onto UK TV screens. Contestants Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O’Meara have spoken about Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty behind her back and to her face in a way [...]

One of the less controversial ‘good things’ about Web 2.0 is the tag cloud. There’s one on the top-right of this page. In years gone by, that would have been a list of the categories covered on this site. So why is the cloud better than a list? Two things occur to me: (a) The compactness [...]
