Entering the Mobile SpacePosted on November 10, 2009

Molt:n recently attended the Edge of the Web conference in Perth where I delivered the presentation, Entering the Mobile Space.

View more presentations from gleddy.

The topic was a new one for me so it was great to research and deliver in front of a mixed crowd of developers, designers and soon-to-be mobile fanatics. I am hoping [...]

Google and Bing drink from the Twitter firehosePosted on October 21, 2009

It was only last week that we mentioned in our Web Directions talk that Google and other search engines were trying to get access to the Twitter firehose but didn’t index the information yet.
Well the “future” we spoke about is here, with Google and Bing both returning Twitter results in their feeds.

The old ‘SEO is evil’ argument and our presentation at WDS09Posted on October 13, 2009

I feel like we’ve finally decompressed after an amazing week at Web Directions South last week. Not only was it the best WDS ever but the whole Web Week was a load of fun, with a top opening night and a really great Ignite Sydney.

I just read on Mumbrella that Glora Jeans launched a new marketing campaign today with a brand new shiny website. I knew their old site well due to analysing it as part of a competitor review recently.

Love Creative have just launched their new website created entirely in Powerpoint.

Google keeps on tweakingPosted on June 3, 2007

There is a great article in the New York Times this week about how Google is managing to stay ahead of its competitors. It’s a fantastic read and you should definitely sit down and digest the whole thing. I caught a glimpse of the sort of brains they have working there at the Google Developer [...]

Web standards in VietnamPosted on April 2, 2007

I’m posting this from Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City for some) - it’s a great, frenetic, steamy, noisy, creative city and I really love it here. For some reason I am always more relaxed in busy and noisy places than in quiet ones.
I am here to get to know one of the [...]
