Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me
Look out comScore, Nielsen, and Hitwise. Anytime a company like Google puts out a product that is functionally rich and does it for free, the companies that sell something similar are going to suffer. This happened when Google Analytics came out, it will happen here. What will be interesting to watch is how companies that [...]
This is neat. Too bad it can’t be embedded.
It’s hard to know who the bigger idiot is in this story… of course he could be a trend setter but first he needs to do a better job of marketing because from the way he describes it his life sucks and that’s not exactly a way to drive higher bids. A lovelorn Yorkshireman who [...]

Check out the advertising section that provides detailed information about the site demographics and traffic, as well as information for agencies and small/medium sized business advertisers. They are packaging this [...]
Tsvangirai may be hoping to force the hand of African leaders like Mbeki but there is little to indicate that they want anything but the status quo. The only thing worse than what is happening in Zimbabwe right now is the silence that African leaders are giving Mugabe. If anyone in the world should know [...]
I’m having a hard time fully wrapping myself around this notion that wikipedia or any other online source is to result for student’s falling exam scores. I generally recoil at the notion of blaming anything technology for what is effectively a human condition, it strikes me as lazy and weak minded to point the finger [...]
