The Connected Kingdom →
This report reveals just how big the UK’s Internet economy is right now. It’s worth 100bn to the UK - more than the construction, utilities or transport sectors. The report is also important because it tells us how big the UK’s Internet economy could be in the future - potentially 10% of GDP. As we face uncertain economic times ahead, this report suggests that Internet...

Pulling the plug on GeoCities
Today, Yahoo is pulling the plug on GeoCities (and 2 of my oldest sites).
I won’t go into analyzing how whole communities can actually disappear from the Internet, even if they’re bought by giant companies for $3.6 billion. Reasonable people know what to think of this.

It's the people
Strategies, policies, aids and access are important of course.
But it’s really about believing in yourself, putting forward your idea and trying as hard as you can to implement it. The ultimate barrier isn’t the economy, a lack of infrastructure or bad politics - it’s you knowing for sure that “yes, your stuff matters” and not giving it up until you must (only to try...
Hot stuff from Facebook
This rentrée has been packed with important news from Facebook, both for the geekier crowd and the others:

Blogging (and giving in to Tumblr)
It’s friday night on 9/11. I *must* start blogging, say the consensual voices around me (and in my head) — I’ve been hearing them for too long.
