So I was looking over the stats for one of the local search sites we own (European) – 500,000+ searches, so a decent spread. (An aside – we operate and test roughly a dozen simple local search sites for various countries to gauge user-reaction on quality of data). The site does roughly 4000 unique visitors […]
Automated them. If you are doing a task that is repetitive and can be automated – you need to. If you are doing a task that can be automated – you really need to. Even if it doesn’t seem obvious or is complicated – the hours spent figuring it out is worth it. Case in […]
There was a good post over at 37 signals about kindle haters. The core of the argument is that people haven’t tried it and are bitching already. Thankfully my bitching comes with a disclaimer – I have tried it. During Gnomedex (August 10) I got to play with it for roughly 30 minutes. Now some […]

So I was looking at the subdomain breakdown of Google via Alexa. The fourth most popular is Video, with Google Maps (and local) coming in at #8. Even more oddly Google Maps only had 1% of visits, with Video pulling in 3%. And even more perplexing Google Maps falls behind Picasa, Groups, and Translate (wha?!?) […]
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a metropolis kind-of-guy. I like walking around to get what I want. I hate using my car. Toronto was ideal for me – within 5 minutes I had everything I could want – subway, grocery stores, dozens of restaurants (I lived in Yorkville), dozens of shops, 24 hour […]
The USD vs CAD chart on Yahoo pretty much sums up my experience with the USD. Being a Canadian company, when we started we had roughly 1 USD = 1.5 CAD. Now the rate is at 1 USD = 0.95 CAD. And it hurts. My spending power outside of the US has been dealt a […]
