The site we’ve been working on for a while has been featured on killerstartups.com. Apparently we “intend to be the corrective to all generic dating spaces”. Well we wouldn’t know about that, but we definitely know it’s slowly beginning to take over! Great to see the site being featured, and it’s a very favourable review. Though doesn’t the guy realise that it’s all free for now? The site doesn’t charge yet! We won’t put that live till there’s lots of members to make it worth paying for. And how did we know that it was listed on killerstartups.com? We saw it while
trawling through Google’s updated analytics package. It rocks! Every website should use it.

“Designers, developers, project managers. Writers and editors. Information architects and usability specialists. People who make websites have been at it for more than a dozen years, yet almost nothing is known, statistically, about our profession. Who are we? Where do we live? What are our titles, our skills, our educational backgrounds? Where and with whom do we work? What do we earn? What do we value?”Take the survey, it only takes 5 mins. A List Apart hopes that making this data available will have a positive effect on best practices and employment, and will enhance public understanding of, and respect for, our profession.

We are currently having much fun beta testing video startup Joost.

“Privileged” is a word that comes to mind to be able to play a small part in shaping what is bound to revolutionise the web. It looks to be living up to the hype that currently surrounds it in Silicon Valley (and to some extent over here in London). Joost combines television watching and social networking into a single interface. This is what it looks like!It’s interesting to note that on the day entertainment giant Viacom Media said it will sue Google and its video-sharing website YouTube for $1bn (£517m), they signed a deal with Joost.

We’re off to to New York for an ad server conference at the end of the month to “press the flesh” for Team Catch. Ok, so it’s only Jonathan, but we can all dream eh?

We are all hoping for cheap Ipod Nanos and salt water taffy. Business cards at the ready. If he’s lucky they’ll even let him give a talk.
