Open

By Jonathan | Published: July 27, 2007
Just found this rather fine blog by Antony Mayfield of Spannerworks. Well worth a read and adding to your bulging RSS reader. Reminds me, I must update my roll. (Sorry Jonny – I’ve had the wrong feed up there for a while now)

Another Jonathan Hopkins

By Jonathan | Published: July 27, 2007
Still find it funny when I come across another Jonathan Hopkins, especially when he’s a criminal in Kansas City filming himself being chased by the police and trying to sell the footage to a local TV station for $10,000.

BBC iPlayer

By Jonathan | Published: July 27, 2007
As I’m sure loads of people did yesterday, I was invited to take part in the beta test for the BBC iPlayer which launched today. All very nice but it doesn’t work on a Mac. I think it’s bit rubbish not to release a Mac version at launch, especially as it’s called iPlayer! I’m sure [...]

Blackle

By Jonathan | Published: July 25, 2007
Looks as though this launched a while back, but just been sent it and thought I’d share just in case you hadn’t seen it. Nice idea. We are becoming more accountable for every single aspect of our lives. Displaying white pixels joins the list. “When your screen is white – Eg; an empty word page, [...]

E3 Wii

By Jonathan | Published: July 22, 2007
Bit late posting this – just catching up on my RSS. But check out this great interview with Shigeru Miyamoto as featured on the Wired Game|Life blog. Still loving the Wii and still don’t think there’s been enough noise about how amazing it is to watch streaming flash video on. Now I just need to [...]

Taglines

By Jonathan | Published: July 19, 2007
Are a bit crap really aren’t they? Just heard (how I seem to be “watching” TV these days) the Curry’s advert and the tagline is “with you in mind”. And they haven’t even done any SEO/PPC on it. Other taglines over the last few months seem to be getting worse. Or is it because I’m [...]

Early signs of Facebook fatigue?

By Jonathan | Published: July 17, 2007
I’m not the only one feeling this. I commented about this on the Bite blog a while back. Also, I’ve been looking at this report from JupiterResearch that says social networking sites are having little impact influencing online retail sales and this (via Jonny) which talks about advertising on Facebook and the low click-though [...]

Profile magazine

By Jonathan | Published: July 13, 2007
I submitted comment for this article in Profile magazine ages ago and it has just come out. I still agree with what I said, which is good . . . . (!)

Paid-for Digging

By Jonathan | Published: July 11, 2007
Interesting article on Murketing about a company called Subvert & Profit that get paid to Digg stories to try and get them on the front page. More of this to come, blatently. Can it be called Figging I wonder?
