Over at Opera Watch, there’s a lovely graph showing page views per month shown on Opera Mini.  It’s one of those sharply rising graphs we’re used to seeing from popular web start ups.  About 100,000 page views in March 2006, to almost a billion page views in July 2007.
I think that’s pretty awesome, the market shares might [...]

Digg has just been removed from my Bloglines feeds.
The reason?  The bunch of (probably) teenage muppets continually spamming the site with ‘articles’ about the accidently leaked hex code key, and everyone digging all of them.
Digg has finally disappeared completely up it’s own arse.  It completely highlights the generally level of maturity there, which only gets worse [...]

I think there are a few cracks in the Web 2.0 veneer appearing at the moment.  It’s always had it’s detractors (me for one), but there just seem to be a few more people now asking “So what now?”.
It seems to have been triggered by SXSW I think, lets look at some links.

Most mobile phones are useless when [...]

Via Nick Wilson’s clickinfluence, I found an article by Anastasia Goodstein talking about some of the differences between MySpace and Facebook. Then today Li Evans pointed to a valleywag story from Cre8asite talking about how poor an advertising platform Facebook seemed to be generally.
Now Facebook seems to be a poor space for advertising generally, [...]

Heh, just see a link on digg to a footwear company running a competition where you link to them, and fill in a form on their web site for chance to win 1 pair of Nike trainers each year for the next 10 years.
Hmm, sounds like paid links to me.  Effectively anyway.  They actually suggest [...]

I heard a bit about the Google Press day the other day, and I have Matt Cutts blog posting marked to read over, as well Search Engine Watch’s coverage and links to browse across when I have time.
As I was scanning them though, I spotted a link to news.com’s coverage. Now it seems, unfortunately, [...]

From Hugh at GapingVoid, having to actually think about who uses your site is a pain isn’t it?

Ocotber 2004, Andy Clarke announces the redesign of the Disney UK Store and gave some great insight into the process. The design is nice, and lives up to high standards of semantic code and accessibility.
November 2005, Disney UK Store launches a new design full of tables, spacer gifs and JavaScript rollovers
