- On the Telegraph’s traffic claims
Since you asked. Or maybe you didn’t.
Simon Waldman: Britain’s number one quality newspaper website. Oh really?
Roy Greenslade: Telegraph net ad debunked by real figures
Brand Republic: Telegraph website’s claims under fire
- Smoke and mirrors
Banging the blog drum, Gordon Brown tells Davos: “The age of the smoke-filled room is over.”
It’s not recorded if this comment raised a laugh. But I’ve heard it said that Brown has indulged, on occasion, on some back-room manoevering of his own - stuff about getting the Prime Minister’s job, or somesuch. I can only [...]
- Third degree burns
It’s Burns night*, hence the haggis (right). In Comment is free, Iain MacWhirter hails our fine national dish, but delivers a damning verdict on Robert Burns’ credentials to also be a Scottish national icon.
Burns, thinks MacWhirter, was too ambivalent about Scotland and Scottishness. He’s not a fan of the poetry. And he leaves [...]
- London calling
Iskra42 appears to be one of the biggest Guardian Unlimited podcast fans on Last.fm. But I was entertained by the site’s dim view of our musical compatibility, as shown in the Taste-o-meter, right.
With just our podcasts and The Clash to talk about, we’d be able to pass a few minutes at least.
- BoJo’s video 101

- Two lovely links
This is really rather beautiful. Via hotlinks.
Meanwhile, James Lileks made me laugh today - please, please make five minutes to read this (and click on the link at the top of his story first).
- Apple’s new iPhone
Tonight, I am mostly blogging over here on Apple’s shiny new iPhone.
- Online news video
Andy Dickinson rounds up UK newspapers’ online video efforts. He’s more impressed by the regionals than the nationals, it seems.
“For the most part, things are pretty static. Those who have invested in some kind of online video have generally invested in buying it in.”
No reference to our GU experiments from late last year, like Dan [...]
- Five things you don’t know about me
Both my brother and Martin Stabe tagged me on this while I was experimenting with being on holiday and offline (shudder), so I’m going to give it a shot.
1. I’ve always wanted to be a journalist. Or, at least, since I was 11. Before that, I wanted to drive ferries (or the Waverley). Then my [...]
