I really think the idea of pushing/pinging search engines to come get content should really be linked to the sitemaps protocol if anything, to me that seems the most logical solution. Basically, your main sitemap file would consist of a sit

I think the people that I most respect are the people that inspire me to be better. So in no particular order: Steve "Woz" Wozniak, Sir James Dyson, Yuri Gagarin & Fred Hollows are the ones that I could name off the top of my head.

Interesting indeed. I probably couldn't do that as my handwriting is terrible. Bouncing off that for a second though, one of the more interesting ideas I saw were business cards for a second hand store. What they essentially did was get oth

I think that as tech people, we often forget that the vast majority of people that utilise tech are often less logically inclined than we are. Or to put it another way, simplicity + attractiveness sells. David Pogue did an interesting TED t

A friend of mine has observed that using blank business cards generate a far higher callback rate for him than preprinted cards. (Of course he writes his number etc on the blank card as he hands them out.) What industry is your friend in

Google's heavy-handed tactics. I don't agree with this, I think Google has every right to provide it's main customers (searchers) the best possible product that they can. If anything, removing sites like these actually cut into Google's p

That's a good question, I'm currently working through this problem aswell. Perhaps give each team member their own table where they would fill in what their perceived self-ratings are, but also how they would rate other members and what the

While Yammer seems an interesting spin on things, I'd much prefer to have this functionality contained within Twitter in the form of private groups - purely from a convenience point of view if anything. If the Twitter dev team were able to

I'm having a hard time believing sourcetool's argument that they were more than an arbitrage spam site. It is a bunch of scraped content, with ads around it. I don't see any additional value provided by sourcetool and I definitely don't bel

I wouldn't have thought so, after my post I did some (I'll admit not as extensive) searches for other potential variations using phrases like "slang", "indian", "yamma", "yama" and even did permutations in within quotes to see if it would y

The best Guerilla Marketing thing I do, is ensure my business card makes it into any book/magazine that I can get my hands on. Whenever I'm down at the news agent, I ensure I slip my business card into any Magazine that a small business own

I agree that a script that could be run internally would be a much better idea but there are already twitter clone scripts available on the market. I think it could be interesting to see some sort of quick asynchronous communication tool th

Out of interest where did you see that? I thought this might be an oversight, so I did a quick Google search using variations of "Yammer", "India", "penis", and apart from your comment could not find anything in the first 5 pages of result

I agree with you on principle, but in today's society (which could be arguably described as hedonistic) people often seem to choose something they want over something they need.

I can't say with any certainty, but I don't think the results are as relevant as Google, Yahoo or Live (I don't really know about ask as I haven't used it more than once or twice), but it still looks like the image results are very strange

I'm not saying that it's not true a lot of the time as I do believe a lot of good ideas do meet initial resistance, by all means I think that people should be as creative as they can. I just think that the one thing that we are all looking

I am very fond of the freemium model, but recently I've been considering that there must be better ways to convert users to profit beyond scaling the number of users or adding additional functionality. Have you given much thought to variati

I agree with most of the points presented, but I just cannot agree with point 2. In fact, the second point comes across as more like hey-you're-awesome mumbo jumbo that I would expect from motivational speakers. "Good ideas alter the power

True, I don't disagree with this statement - but I just don't think it necessarily shows the full figure. There are a lot of people who once the file is complete, stop torrents - which would make this seeder/leecher number a lowball type

I can see where they're going with this, they're getting buzz about the ads by starting off with something "bad" and then gradually making it "better" - perhaps a nod to Vista? Anyway, the 4 odd minutes was worth it to see Gates do the robo

You sir, are awesome, I would give you triple karma if I could. For those who don't "get" the quote, it's the infamous 1984 Apple ad, directed by Ridley Scott. Links below for reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8 http://e
