Hell Freezes Over: Google and the Super Bowl
While the UK slept last night, it appears there was some sort of sporting tournament across the Atlantic and that the world’s most-used search provider advertised its search capabilities and new(ish) browser. It’s quite a nice advert, telling a (cliched) story in an original manner with a clean style.
The excitement over Google advertising Chrome and [...]
Don’t Be Evil
Life just got better. At the end of last week, Google announced that its personalised search had now become available to ‘signed-out’ users.
What does that mean?
Well, personalised search means that Google uses its history of what you have searched for before to provide more relevant results for subsequent search queries. It records everything you’ve searched [...]
RSA Talk – Delete
I mentioned this a couple of posts back. Delete discusses ‘The Virtues of Forgetting in the Digital Age’. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend but the RSA has – as always – made the audio of the talk available to everyone. See the link below for details.
Google remembers everything we’ve searched for and when. Potentially humiliating content [...]
Things You Shouldn’t Do With the BNP Membership List
1. Send it to everyone you know.
2. Make a Google Maps mash-up out of the data.
Much of socialmedialand was rubbing its hands with glee this morning at the news that the British National Party’s membership list had been leaked on the Internet and was freely available for anyone to download. A lot of people were [...]

Techmeme: A Not-Quite Retraction
Gabe Rivera, the creator of Techmeme, is either a PR genius or so nice that I am flummoxed. After my last post, trashing his service, he tweeted:
Techmeme readers overlooking TheReg & Guardian’s homepages should know what they’re missing, says @iandelaney: http://bit.ly/19rsap I agree.
And I guess that this is why I owe a not-quite retraction. Techmeme is [...]
Mr Angry Internet Man Explains
From the Merriam Webster entry:
Main Entry: re·cid·i·vist
Pronunciation: -vist
Function: noun
Etymology: French récidiviste, from récidiver to relapse, from Middle French, from Medieval Latin recidivare, from Latin recidivus recurring, from recidere to fall back, from re- + cadere to fall
Earlier this evening, I made what some might describe as an immoderate comment on Twitter. To whit, when my [...]
The Future of Newspapers
I’ve been thinking about the future of newspapers a fair bit over the last few weeks, because we’ve been preparing a panel event on just that topic. It’s involved a range of reading and on-record and off-record conversations with a load of people involved with newspapers – readers, editors, pundits and the man on the [...]

About this New Theme
The most radical change you’ll see if you get to the site, rather than read it on RSS, is that it’s single-column. That cuts out a lot of the stuff that was here before, e.g.:
recent comments
blogroll
widgets
So to tackle those:
Recent Comments: To be honest, I write this blog as a semi-continuous rant or eulogy about the [...]

Google = Rubbish (Heh)
So, apparently Internet Explorer 8 is available for download, according to my twitter colleagues and a certain Mister Gates.
But don’t search for ‘ie8′ with Google, because you’ll get this:
One half of the screen is a search for news about ie8. The next suggests that I was probably searching for IE7. None of the remaining four [...]
Well, It made me laugh
Fake Steve Jobs is rather more concise than me:
The Borg-Yahoo merger won’t work. Here’s why. It’s like taking the two guys who finished second and third in a 100-yard dash and tying their legs together and asking for a rematch, believing that now they’ll run faster.
