Jacob Nielson, usability guru (in the estimation of some), was interviewed recently by E-consultancy.
I quote:
Is there any point in using Flash on your website?
That’s a good question - I’ve been going back and forth on that over the years.
We’ve come up with examples in our studies where it has worked well - product demos, […]

We’re gonna’ build a website like it’s 1995…
Middleman
ReviewMe is a service that positions itself as a middleman between bloggers and advertisers. Brand owners can pay bloggers to review their sites, products etc.
I appreciate that a lot of blogs are major going concerns with a commercial angle. I’m also aware of the way we might try and influence blogs, albeit subtly through simply […]
Fastfood fantasy
It may only be a collection of fast food pictures but I love this (thank you Phil C!). It just sums up for me how people are using online and how brands are affected.
It completely reinforces the idea that honesty has become increasingly important when presenting your products and subsequently your brand. If you tell […]
Online ad spend eclipses newspapers
Another milestone in the rise and rise of interactive advertising.
Just a shame that so many clients/agencies still can’t see past display advertising.
Great media placement?
Could this really be a mistake? Mac ads all over Charlie Brooker’s Guardian Unlimited column slating… Macs!
Contextual advertising gone wrong? Or just bad management.
Back in Venice
When I got back from last November’s company trip to Venice, I said to Mrs G that I would take her back. Next thing I know, she’s booked the tickets.
So this weekend, I went back.
What did I discover?
- Harry’s Bar is a tourist trap with over-priced drinks.
- Venice is eerie in thick fog.
- […]
Plenty of Joost
OK, so I shouldn’t be writing headlines (I toyed with ‘Joost in time’ but noticed The Register had beaten me to it). However despite my lack of copy writing skills, I did feel compelled to blog about Joost.
For those of you not familiar with this soon to launched IPTV service, it’s the latest brainchild of […]
Metaverse by Google
Those rumours won’t go away. The latest, as seen on GigaOM, suggest that Google are already busy with the development of their own metaverse while a company in China develops avatars for them.
Second Life by Google seems like exactly the kind of thing they would do. They have the financial and computing clout to create […]
Mac Nut
I like Macs. I started my working life on them and, after several years getting frustrated at a series of PC laptops, six months ago I moved back.
I still get occasionally frustrated, but at least they look good while they frustrate me.
However, whatever warm and fuzzy feeling I get when watching a Steve Jobs keynote […]
YouTube to share revenue
Fresh from Davos, YouTube is planning to share ad revenues with users. On the surface it makes so much sense; drive participation and content creation even further by making sure the contributors benefit financially.
Mind you, Revver (‘who?’ I hear you ask) already share revenue with users and they don’t seem to be setting the world […]
