  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 534
  I mentioned in my previous post that a lot of speculation has now turned to Malcolm Turnbull’s intentions should he lose the leadership tomorrow .

• Has Google Trends data made me look a goose?

  
  Stilgherrian — Authority: 462
  Yesterday I wrote an article for Crikey plus a post here based on Google Trends data which, it now appears, is dodgy. Google Trends shows a steady decline in traffic to various websites since about September 2008, based on the metric “unique daily browsers”. But I was howled down. Everyone else’s metrics ...

  mUmBRELLA — Authority: 698
  If you’re one of the 12 people who cares about whether Fairfax’s National Times has more traffic than Crikey or News Ltd’s The Punch (and I think I’m one of them) there’s an interesting piece about the opinion sites in the Sydney Morning Herald today.   According to Julian Lee, Fairfax has now ...

• Is social media killing the web (as we’ve known it)?

  
  Stilgherrian — Authority: 462
  If Google Trends’ statistics are to be trusted, it looks like there’s been a significant decline in traffic to websites over the last year — not just news, but everywhere. Except social network sites. Following a blog post by Nicholas Moerman , a planning intern with Proximity in London, I checked out the ...

  Stilgherrian — Authority: 462
  Stilgherrian’s links for 08 November 2009 through 18 November 2009: See what happens when you don’t curate your links for ten days, during which time there’s a conference which generates a bazillion things to link to? Sigh. This is such a huge batch of links that I’ll start them over the fold. They’re not ...

  More Immeasurable Hurt? The Professional Idiot has admitted he obsessively reads Crikey articles, editorials and comments in a quest to note down every nasty or rude thing someone writes about his delicate self. He has a reputation to protect, apparently. A letter from Andrew Bolt to Crikey publisher Eric Beecher ...

• Alas, poor geocities: I knew it well

  
  Hoyden About Town — Authority: 139
  I know, I’m several weeks late on this. Just catching up with the news that Yahoo pulled the plug on geocities last month does give me a pang. Although I never actually made myself a geocities page, having fallen in with net-purists at a very early stage of my online habit: they scoffed, and thus so did I. ...

• The future of the ABC and of journalism

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 534
  I made some observations a little while ago about Mark Scott’s A. N. Smith memorial lecture, principally concerned with his intervention in the debate about News Limited’s paywall strategy. Much of what Scott said has been discussed in a frame heavily shaped by the claim that there is a developing conflict ...

  November 15 is "Steve Irwin Day" in Australia and around the world.

• Murdoch’s wrong about Google

  
  Stilgherrian — Authority: 462
  I reckon Rupert Murdoch’s plan to block Google from indexing News Corporation stories is daft, and I said so in Crikey yesterday with a piece they headlined Dear Rupert, this is how the internet works. Google it. In brief, my commentary is that people don’t really get their news in a monolith any more, ...

  Thinkers' Podium — Authority: 118
  In taking Greg Craven to task over a rather paranoid, bare assertion and straw man laden snit against those terrible new atheists, which given the material , is fair enough, thanks to his own rhetoric, winds up scoring an own goal as well. “The neo-atheists – Dawkins, Hitchens and others – are an annoying ...
