In the last couple of weeks we’ve seen two new internet launches designed to upset the market. In one case it’s an industry leader going after an open source success; the other sees a start up taking on the global leader. Let’s start by taking a look at Knol, Google’s attempt to unseat [...]

It’s surprising how many people still are unaware of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) when you consider how it can help individuals and companies make the most of the internet.
RSS are web feed formats used to publish web content frequently and deliver information directly to the desktop of subscribers for free.
Industry research shows that tens of [...]

The people behind Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks and US TV networks Comedy Central and MTV have been making headlines with concerns over online privacy.
Viacom, which was spun off from CBS as couple of years ago, has agreed to let Google strip identifying information from YouTube viewers’ data before complying with a judge’s order to hand over [...]

A friend from the UK came over for the TT practice weekend. We were enjoying the sunshine on Saturday, snapping pix of each other all day long.
But, she asked, if I were to upload them to Facebook could I please not tag her? The reason? She’d thrown a sickie at work and didn’t want her [...]

We have been trialling Google Apps in recent weeks and I have been very impressed. Google wraps several products into an excellent package to use with your own domain name. It is an offer that resembles Microsoft Office and includes email, a calendar, chat, word/spreadsheet/presentation software, a web page editor and a structured wiki site [...]

Internet companies are holding an enormous amount of consumer data that can provide companies with deep market insight. A new study has revealed that, by tracking what individuals search for and where they go on the internet, the Googles and MSNs of this world know what people like and what is important to them. This [...]

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…money, shopping, criminals, Ofcom and Led Zeppelin…?
1. I didn’t know too much about Conrad Black until recently (for obvious reasons). However, I came across him on the Top List of Best and Worst of 2007, and after I read up on him and his [...]

I try not to write about Google all the time, I really do.
There is so much news coming out of the company that I could write a Google column every week if I wanted to. But the whole world covers Google and I try to avoid writing about them so that I can offer something [...]

October has come and gone. I’ve only just now had time to look at Strive Notes’ stats for the month. Posting is up and so is traffic, thanks in part to Jo and Deana’s recent contributions. Here are the most popular post for the month.
5. Jo is doing a good job with her weekly Top [...]

At the recent CMI event on Web 2.0, the panel was asked what we thought would be the next big thing in social media. My response was that I thought mobile handsets would become a main focus.
I think that once we get secure e-payments via mobile worked out, just about all personal computing will go [...]

My son asked me, this weekend, what is the distance between Newton Aycliff and Durham? “No idea, Google it!” was my reply.
It now takes just moments to research any subject, yet we apparently have less and less free time? Or are we just trying to cram so much more into a working day?
This week I [...]

I haven’t done a top five in months so I must be well past due. Here are some posts I particularly enjoyed this week.
1. …TWL…the anonymous tech PR blogger throws all the toys on the floor and spits the dummy. I love it! It reminds me of my friend Cynical IT Guy, who [...]

I can’t tell you how guilty I feel about neglecting Strive Notes so badly these past few weeks. Business and life seems to be getting in the way of blogging. This guilt was compounded this morning when I checked the stats to find that, despite the lack of new content, visits to the blog were [...]

Do you write for people or for machines? Well it would be naive for any blogger to not consider the SEO benefits of the headlines they choose. The Telegraph’s Shane Richmond discusses the pros and cons of writing for SEO.
He says you risk turning off humans if you concentrate to much on keyword indexing. At [...]

There’s a new name on this weekly feature for no other reason than I couldn’t resist the alliteration :-)
1. …the world’s leading…has a go at late payers. Most consultants know what a pain it can be to have to spend effort collecting on invoices. I’m not sure the approach taken here is advisable, however.
2. The [...]

This popular feature returns after a bit of a break. We’re starting 2007 off with a strong line up.

Take humour and mix in some thoughtful debate. Then add a pinch of sound advice. The result: this week’s reading round up! Here are my faves for this week, in particular order.
1. Drew B takes a look at how Web 2.0 is influencing politics. He pulls together a number of references about the UK Tory party’s [...]

Have you heard about Google’s lawyers serving writs on major media outlets that use the word google as a verb? Elinor Mills at C/net gives the details.
But really, this must be a stunt. With the verb recently listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, surely it’s way too late to stem the tide. And, forgive me if [...]

Yup. It’s finally happened. The Oxford English Dictionary has added “to google” as a verb. I wonder how Jeeves feels about this? And, if you are using Yahoo! to find something are you still googling it? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm.
Hat tip to FC Now.
UPDATE 9 July 06. I just noticed a good [...]
