Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s recently opened a speech by saying that “we’re moving from a mobile-first world, to an AI first world”. It’s a great line and one that fires up imaginations with the promise of what algorithms can deliver, how they can change our lives for the better and what the future could really […]

Recently, it was revealed by a somewhat mysterious tweet from CloudFlare – the content delivery and web services giant – that they have a very strange way of protecting our data in the cloud. Now CloudFlare isn’t exactly a household name, but they’re responsible for delivering content through a vast network of servers, enabling us […]

I recently took part in the regular Friday Knowledge Share here at Coast Digital where I presented The History of the World Wide Web. It seemed like an interesting topic to explore just how the World Wide Web has changed over the approximate thirty or so years that it’s actually been around. Even though it […]

It has been a while now since Netflix first announced a brand new infrastructure tool to cope with their complex technology stack. Since the original announcement, six to seven years ago, they’ve further developed the tool – expanding its purpose and capabilities.

It seems that Google are yet again facing more pressure in Europe this week with concerns over their growing dominance in online markets and the handling of personal data in the wake of the US internet surveillance scandal. In this scenario the German government has been criticising the search giant, claiming their algorithms are in […]

I’m a massive Android geek and a fan of (mostly) everything Google, so I’m excited to see the developments in so-called ‘wearable’ tech. I own a Sony SmartWatch 2 and am currently impatiently waiting for the Motorola 360 that’s due out later this year. With the recent announcements at Google I/O around Android L and […]

Screaming Frog is, in my humble opinion, an essential tool for SEO. It’s an amazing piece of software which provides you with essential information about your site in just a few clicks of the mouse.  I recently gave a knowledge share presentation within our agency on the capabilities of the tool because it’s not only […]

2013, a New Year and what can we expect it to bring? In my previous two blog posts we saw predictions about how tablets will revolutionise the web and how targeted TV advertising will start to take off. Both of these predictions reflect the last year in digital media and how it will change even […]
