Creating Authoritative Content Without Client Input
I tend to talk about the importance of content till my clients want to punch me in the face.

Social media and mobile technologies in bridging digital divides

What Is the Value of a Facebook “Like” Anyway?
With over 1 billion active users as of this year, Facebook is no doubt the social network to master for marketers. However, for most company Facebook accounts, the focus isn’t generally on the number of “likes” or “fans” earned.

How to Visualise Very Large Websites
If you’re running a small-to-medium sized website, visualising website architecture isn’t difficult. What do you do if your website exceeds 100,000 or even 1,000,000 pages?
Visio, PowerMapper, SmartDraw and similar applications won’t do the trick. They produce great visualisations in a relatively short time period, but they fail/break/time out when facing websites such as eBay and Amazon.

Is Google’s Cache Your Traffic or Google’s Traffic?
I have real-time analytics on my wall in the office and every now and then I bump into an odd case of search traffic. This time I spotted a very unusual keyword:
