Return Of The EU Cookie Directive

Towards the end of yesterday, I noticed a new article on the Information Commissioner’s Office’s website entitled ‘Must try harder’ on cookies compliance, says ICO. And I realised yesterday that this change is inevitable, eventually, with time, we’re all going to have to implement this. The consequences have the potential to seriously damage our industry, [...]

New TLD Coming To The UK: .London

I’m not sure how much this has been circulated yet, but there is news that london is going to get its very own TLD: .london. I find this pretty interesting – although, surely .lon would be easier, wouldn’t it? Anyways, it seems like a reasonably good move – I’m hoping Ripon can get one so [...]

Good News For Inbound Marketers: Is Cold Calling Still A Viable Option?

I’ve been studying a load of material on my course this week run by the Institute of Digital and Direct Marketing, and one thing that cropped up in a chapter of the main text book was that 12 million phone numbers had been registered with the Telephone Preference Service, at the time this accounted for [...]

EU Realises Its Stupidity And Defers Cookie Law For 1 Year

This has been a real bug bear of mine for some time now, today the EU cookie law was meant to come into force – and low and behold, nothing. The only site I have seen asking explicit permission for storing cookies prior to placing a cookie is – well, nobody. The ICO website actually [...]

EU Cookie Law – Does *anyone* know how it is going to work?

The new European Cookie Law comes into effect towards the end of this month, I’ve read it is the 25th May (26th May according to the BBC) and I still don’t know anyone who: A) Is prepared for the change B) Knows how they will technically deal with the problem. ICO guidance is far from [...]

The Big 3 Search Engines Gain Market Share In 2010

Yesterday I did a blog post asking whether Bing have gained market share at the expense of Google. James Murray from Experian Hitwise contacted me and kindly supplied me with the past 12 months % share figures of the top 3 search engines, so I thought I would share the results with you all… It [...]
