So I thought – at least one blog post a month won’t be difficult, right? Right. Then in February, right before I was scheduled to speak at eTail West, I get an ominous email from Google saying my blog is spewing malware. I immediately checked and was convinced the email was legit. Oh crap. Later [...]

So, the Strata conference was good, and my talk was pretty well received. Work got in the way of me hanging out at the conference for the whole three days, but I did spend about a day and some change meeting lots of smart people (including a lot of ex-Yahooers) and taking in some talks. [...]

Dancing about Architecture
April 25th, 2008 1 Comment
Blogging about Twitter. Reminds me that Talking about music is like dancing about architecture …and I’ve already blogged about Twitter more than once. While we’re a good year and a half into Twitter, and it’s been mildly entertaining, I’m starting to see value now. So this post is for the folks still scratching their heads. [...]

Tracking Web Analytics Blogs
September 5th, 2007 1 Comment
I’ve fallen off the blog trail again (when life gets too crazy, I stop posting *and* stop reading) so missed the little dust-up over who’s got the name-your-superlative web analytics blog. When I re-energized this site, I started putting a blogroll up, but quickly decided that was not scalable. Instead, I decided to use del.ico.us [...]

I’ve been dorking with Twitter .. still trying to figure out if it’s a great waste of time, or a lousy waste of time. I’m sure the cool kids are using it via SMS, but something about having my phone buzz me to learn that one of my friends is now eating a cookie just [...]

The online ad market gets more interesting by the week. Yesterday WPP Group, a huge advertising conglomerate, agreed to acquire 24/7 Real Media. Microsoft, not to be denied an ad network, purchased Seattle-based aQuantive — for an amazing US$6B in cash, an 85% premium. That means Microsoft gets Avenue A | Razorfish and Atlas. This [...]

Musings on Goog’s “Universal Search”
May 16th, 2007 1 Comment
So Google will now start including non-web (or vertical search) results. Type “sun” and in addition to web links, a stock chart appears. Type “twinkies” and get photos with web results. “Paris hilton” adds news to the web links. “seattle” has a map and news results. Over time they’ll add more stuff. I’m not sure [...]

Microsoft to grab 24/7?
May 1st, 2007 No Comments
Ad networks are hot! Google grabs DoubleClick. Yahoo! buys the rest of Right Media it doesn’t already own. Now the NY Post is reporting that Microsoft’s trying to buy 24/7 Media. What’s interesting about the article is that it says ad firm WPP may also be a buyer. Who’s left? Will Ask go for aQuantive?

OK so it’s May 1 and that means blogs around the globe are changing their look, thanks to CSS Reboot. I didn’t change anything on bobpage.net, but the CSS Reboot site has lots of eye candy if you want ideas. Speaking of booting, tonight it’s all about whether or not the puck was really over [...]
