Dan, that’s an excellent observation that people really seem to have less time for blogging with everyone focusing on the jobs we do for someone or some paid-for projects we work on for ourselves - and I guess this is exactly the recession showing itself: we have to choose between money and the joy of blogging for the sake of blogging itself more and more frequently.

P.S. And thank you for the mention, very glad you have enjoyed my marketing vs. conversation piece.

elliot, true, for web publishers this is certainly a better move - or at least for those who rely on Google and there are of course many of them. It’s just that Google is getting more and more powerful every day and it can be both fascinating and scary but if you are pragmatic enough, you will hopefully avoid any negative thoughts like that.

P.S. Spring is actually here finally, thank you - both above zero and quite sunny as well. Though it’s not really a good weather for sun-tanning but at least one does not have to wear fur coats everywhere

elliot, I certainly agree - especially given how he sent press releases out to everyone additionally hoping for some coverage (most certainly positive). An investor will hardly ever want to invest in the second startup from a person who sells his first one like this.

Dimitar, while geographically Turkey is not a part of Europe, lately it has been included in various statistical reports as one of European countries, probably because of their intention to be included in the EU. As for so many countries missing, I have mentioned that the report is only for 17 countries that are measured by comScore, not for all European countries, of course.

Jaime, thanks a lot, I am really glad you have enjoyed this post as I had my doubts about covering this story as it involved so many background details - your comment makes me think it was certainly worth posting And while I am not happy about this rare case where I am not proud of my nation, I guess this “bunch of idiots” totally deserves to be named exactly this

Great find Boris, certainly looks terrible. But you know what, my husband once wanted to dry his laptop with a hairdryer after he glued one button to the keyboard and all the buttons melted because of hot air almost instantly. That one looked pretty bad as well but better than this one (the keyboard was easily replaced, by the way) :)

Jonas, in fact in Russia people still use these designs and are still fond of portals (I’m not talking about the geeky crowd, it’s more about regular internet population instead) so this ancient Yahoo looks are quite familiar to me personally though thanks for finding that and offering as an additional illustration.

Alan, of course rules are strict but I’ve seen countries with even stricter rules and US is certainly one of such countries - at least in Russia people know how to violate those strict rules without any punishments while in the US I’ve rarely even seen people attempting to do so.

Tiago, thank you for such a passionate comment. Of course I am not dumb enough not to realize that behind all the things that my computer lets me do quickly and easily are numerous lines of code and endless computations with people behind them making it all possible - and of course I did not mean to offend anyone. The only thing is that I was talking from a user’s point of view, not from the PoV of a developer - to me as a user the computer has lost its name because I myself do virtually no computer on the machine - but of course that does not mean it is the same for everyone and it does not mean either that there is no computing behind the scene, it just means the process is not really visible to a user.

Geoff, I guess in the context of this survey by corporations they mean any business simply to distinguish it from an individual - like we know that individuals are all crazy about Twitter but what about businesses (corporations) - so I believe small businesses are included as well.
