Web Performance, Branding, and Social Media
Through 2007, the number of posts I made per day/week/month decreased steadily. I know post new items 2-3 items a month, or less. After 2 years of steady entries, I just didn’t have anything to add to the conversation.
Having been an A-list groupie for this entire period, I lost touch with the self-perpetuating scene. A [...]

13 Nov 2006I have talked in other posts about being an accumulator, driven by the mania to buy things that I have no need for, nor will I ever use. A slight variation of this theme is the need to hoard.
How can accumulation be different from hoarding? It’s simple, it’s not simply the accumulation of things; it’s [...]

1 Aug 2006This morning’s bounty of posts brought in two that will make you think.
First was Port80 Software’s comments on using the Cache-Control mechanism embedded in all browsers. This is interesting to read, as I have been trying to get companies to use this mechanism more intelligently for a number of years. I know that the Port80 [...]

21 Jul 2006As of right now, five of the seven GrabPERF measurement agents are updated with the new code I created last night.
I am also planning some addition changes to the service, including posts, HTTP Basic authentication, content matching and some basic per-measurement cookie jar technology.
Thank you all for your continued support of GrabPERF.

8 Mar 2006I heard (via TechCrunch and Om Malik and PubSub) that there is some … transition at PubSub.
Now, I have a soft spot in my heart for PubSub, because Bob Wyman was the first person to really notice and appreciate the things I was doing at GrabPERF. I wonder what the future holds for this team.
Frankly, [...]

24 Oct 2005Normally when I discuss the performance of a page I am measuring using GrabPERF, it’s either good news (“you just got 5 times faster!”) or bad news (“your page hasn’t loaded in 6 months; you still there?”).
Today, something a little different: a question. What’s the question?
Why is the performance of a Technorati Blog (aka Traditional) [...]

7 Oct 2005The Blog Herald reports on how TypePad suffered a catastrophic drive failure this week that lead to some lost content.
Steve Rubel was one of those affected, and he got a very appropriate response from the CEO of TypePad to explain the situation.

6 Oct 2005GrabPERF is slowly winding down as a public-facing entity. All that is left for non-subscribers are the Search and News Index Overviews.
I will continue to use the data as a demonstration tool, and graphs and data will dot my my blog posts.
And remember, the whole system is on the block; no reasonable offer will be [...]

14 Sep 2008Steven Hodson of WinExtra posted a screenshot of his personal Wordpress stats for the last three years last night. I then posted my stats for a similar period of time, and Steven shot back with some question about traffic, and the ebbs and flows of readers.
Being the stats nut that I am, I went and [...]
