Here is a post that reports that all is not happy for some with their heads in the clouds.
Is Amazon EC2 Oversubscribed and Suffering from Internal Network Latency?
I am not directly involved with this, but figured I’d raise it in the blog.
There have been various reports from the community of Amazon EC2 users, that [...]
Gartner released a report last Thursday, November 12, which showed some market share movements in the mobile OS space. iPhone and RIM gained market share, while Symbian and Windows Mobile lost share. Android has gone from 0 to almost 4% of market share. This is in line with Gartner’s prediction that by 2012, Android will [...]
An article in yesterday’s New York Times talks about how Amazon is increasingly becoming the general store of the Web, one of the few e-tailers to thrive amidst the general recession.
Sometime later this year, if current trends continue, worldwide sales of media products — the books, movies and music that Amazon started with — will [...]
Do you remember the 80’s TV commercial where the heroine, harried and overwhelmed by the worries of the moment, calls out to Calgon bath products for deliverance? (A sentiment resurrected by Southwest’s “Wanna get away?”)

Google AdWords tells you right away if your Maximum Bid for a keyword is too low for your advertisement to show up on the first page of results. On one website I’m currently working with, the keyword that generates by far the most impressions and clicks is one where Google says that I am way [...]
The most important thing I have learned in using Google AdWords for a few different websites is that you must resist the temptation to increase your Maximum Cost-per-Click (Max. CPC) while trying to pursue more clicks and a higher clickthrough rate.
