BBC website to be “halved” in size – newspapers to benefit?

The Times is reporting that the BBC website – often held up as a beacon of technical innovation, exemplary design and the first port of call for millions of people looking for the latest news is to be ‘halved’ under plans that have been submitted to the board of governers. “The corporation’s web pages are [...]

Google Credit Card Comparison

updated from moneysupermarket Haha! Within seconds of posting about the antitrust moves being put on Google by various pinkos and commies, my attention was drawn to Google’s credit card comparison search, which has just launched in the UK. First impressions? Well functionally it’s much of a muchness with existing players in the market. Where I [...]

Google in EU Antitrust Investigation

It is also our vanguard against such horrors as Microsoft bundling its browser with its OS and other unconscionable acts of evil. Thanks to them, you now have to sit through 14 option [...]

For all the “SEO isn’t rocket science” crap you get from certain quarters it’s funny to see that companies from huge concerns down to one-man bands continue to commit the same errors they were making 10 years ago. If you’re an SEO, you could easily add to this list yourself (and I’ll have to thank [...]

Reclusive Technology Genius to Unveil Revolutionary ‘Gamechanging Device’?

[UPDATE: apparently no-one in the office, let alone the rest of the world, got this post! My own fault. It's a kind of satire on the whole Steve Jobs/iPad/Apple thing which is once more descending on us ahead of next week's rumoured Apple launch. I hereby promise to be more direct in future.] Rumours reach [...]
