Dodgy Blog Link Spam
May 02, 2007
The first link I spotted from the admin section of my blog to Sheila Webber’s guest blog posting was entitled “Blogs and RSS May 1, 2007 3:29 pm”. That sounded of interest, so I followed it, to be presented with a porn site which had aggregated various postings on the subject of blogs and/or RSS. The blog had ...

Blogs For The Intranet
May 04, 2007
On 1st March 2007 I published a post on FireFox - The Researchers Favourite Application?. I had expected this to be an uncontroversial posting, so I was surprised when Mark Sammons, a Sys Admin at Edinburgh University, stated that “Simply put, Firefox is not Enterprise-ready enough to be considered for migration from IE“. Mark gave a full explanation ...

May 14, 2007
Background Last week I attended the WWW 2007 conference, which was held at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Banff, Canada.

Technorati Ranking For RSS Feeds As well as finding resources in the blogosphere, Technorati can also be used to measure the number of inbound links to blogs. The corresponding Technorati ranking can be useful in giving feedback on the effectiveness of dissemination strategies for a blog. I was surprised, however, when I discovered that Technorati also gives a ranking for ...

Web History As well as looking forward, this year the conference had a Web History track which included an exhibition of artifacts from early days of the Web and a series of presentations and panel sessions which discussed ...

Enhancements to Dapper
May 23, 2007
I noticed recently that Tom Roper had spotted my posting about Blotter and has announced that he’s using this service himself. This motivated me to revisit the Blotter Web site - where I discovered that the service seems to have been enhanced (or perhaps I missed these options originally). As well as a number of options to manage ...

Email IS Dying
May 25, 2007
I gave a talk entitled “Email Must Die!” at the ILI 2005 conference in London back in October 2005 and followed this up with an Ariadne article with the rather more hesitant question “Must Email Die?“. I can recall that the title of the talk was felt to be rather controversial at the time. So I was interested to read ...

Death Of Email Debate Continues in Facebook
May 28, 2007
On Friday I received several email invitations from people wishing to add me to their list of Facebook contacts. It struck me that this must be due to someone promoting the benefits of Facebook within the IT Services and Web research communities (these being the sectors from which I received the email invitations). Shortly after accepting the ...
