ITV.com using silverlight for video content playback. Why....

BBC iPlayer - flash player. Brilliant.

We don't need another format.

Done.

There are often two key areas to the R&D I do online. One is keeping up with design trends and the other is keeping up with Web 2.0 applications - and anyone else that is doing exciting things online in the vein of Saas (Software as a Service).

I thought this was are very funny explanation as to why checking my e-mail takes an hour.

We have just returned from a long weekend in York. We have thoroughly enjoyed it, and the weather, while not being perfect, was still lovely. The drive north takes about four hours, but you can do it in less time if traffic is good. It was the first time that we actually went into Castle Howard, which is an absolutely wonderful building in the York countryside that was once burnt to an empty shell in parts but has now been restored to its full beauty, in most parts.

I have a fairly strong Google link. I use everything Google and love it. But how far is too far? I have only recently discovered Google Maps and have to say wow - what a great app add on. But I do worry where all this is leading us...or have I been reading to many Robert Ludlum books...

Go to http://maps.google.com, search for 'times square, ny' and then click on the street view link under the photo on the little marker.

A great Google Maps application that shows you the opposite point of the world from any point.

I am pretty sick of hearing that Neighbours is moving to Five. The pop ups, the ads, the annoying poorly placed, badly put together ads.
I don't care and this blog post does not prove it was a successful campaign.
