is a venture of my friend Mike Carter, who used to be our UK contact at Doubleclick. He and his colleagues (who’ve done this from scratch) are very excited about it and tell me it’s the first web 2.0 vertical search application. Why is this interesting for me:

Seth Godin writes that some data from a division of Yahoo shows that people who were exposed to banner advertising became more responsive to text link ads. Even people who didn’t seem to notice the banner ads responded better to the text links. The results suggested a decent ad buy could improve text link click [...]

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to a Nikon D80, from a D70 that has given me really good service for almost 3 years. The camera is a massive improvement on its predecessor, and I’m already taking better photos, but I’m suffering from early adopter syndrome, in that the software to support it just [...]
Harry’s uploaded his video to Google Video, at
This means he can win the competition, if he gets enough votes!
