And more importantly how they are used. We took a sample of slightly over a billion documents, and looked at what elements were used on [...]

Other december 9 surprises
Posted on Saturday, December 10th, 2005
Besides the release leakage of GE for Mac. Del.icio.us take-over Like Yahoo! taking hold of del.icio.us. Just as LookSmart did with Furl. Update: The take-over sounds a little strange to me as Yahoo! was working on it’s own del.icio.us/Furl with their My Web 2.0 BETA. Which can save ‘personal’ pages and tag them. We’ll see [...]

Google Earth for Mac OS X around the corner…
Posted on Friday, December 9th, 2005

Google Analytics… *Big Yawn*
Posted on Wednesday, November 16th, 2005
So 48 hours after launch the site is at least reachable. But still no data to analyse. Thus no comparison. A vague memory begins to boil up, I have never, ever, seen any Urchin report before. Although previously encountered hostingproviders offered them… (I’m starting to see a trend here…) It’s beginning to look like, as [...]

Google Personalised Homepage getting more personal
Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
What live.com didn’t deliver is what Google is taking a step further already. A Google Personalised Homepage in your native language with ‘local’ information sources. ‘Aboot’ the announcement: While Seattle’s pretty close, I’d prefer to have the actual weather for Victoria — and have it in Celsius. Now I can, because today we expanded the [...]
