- Like an ipod... The UK's first official download chart is launched today.The move is being trumpeted as the industry reflecting the changes in the way in which we listen to music, but the decision to give downloads their own chart – rather than to include them in the existing one – is an interesting one. The download culture developed largely in spite of the industry rather than because of it, and this seems to be reflected in the reluctance to welcome downloading fully into the mainstream... from : duncanoleary 1st September 2004
- Straw poll There’s a bit of an experiment taking place on Tom Watson's blog at the moment.

In the spirit of election-period-induced-fairness, the Guardian also has a designated election blog that you can visit here. from : duncanoleary 6th April 2005
- Wiki-d Contintuing the theme of the take-up new ideas/technology, I meant to write a post the other day about my brother getting panned by his tutor at university for referencing wikipedia in one of his essays. He was told that anyone can write on it and it's insufficuently regulated, so you never know whether it's accurate or not (despite recent evidence to the suggesting the opposite). I wonder if/when it will become acceptable to use it in academic circles..? from : duncanoleary 20th January 2006
