21st Century Domesday Book
Posted: 03/05/2007 11:51
The British Library and Microsoft have joined forces to compile a 21st Century version of the Domesday Book.
During the Month of May they are asking UK citizens to send an email - either one from your inbox, or one you write yourself to email@emailbritain.co.uk.
The emails they receive will be digitally archived and will serve as a useful snapshot of 21st Century life for our grand-childrens' grand-children.

Internet broadband usage on the rise
Posted: 03/04/2007 19:46
A report recently released by the Office of Communications (Ofcom) shows that nearly two-thirds of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) now have broadband Internet access.
And for personal users, now over 50% have broadband access at home. Of these broadband users - 63% use it daily, and on average users spend over 9 hours a week on the Internet.
With this type of personal and commercial Internet usage, it is important that sites selling goods and services spend time to ensure their websites display correctly, are easy to use and allow the user to quickly make a buying decision. Otherwise, the customer will simply move on.

How secure are your passwords?
Posted: 22/03/2007 09:19
Recent reports of eBay accounts being hacked make interesting reading. Many accounts are hacked by simply guessing passwords!
With your password, someone could use it to conduct fraudulent transactions and access personal information about you.
Some guidelines we suggest are:
- Never use a word for your password which can be found in the dictionary
- Make your password at least 6 to 8 characters long
- Use a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as numbers
- A good idea is to think of a phrase and take the first letter of each word (e.g. iisigt = It Is Snowing In Guildford Today) for part of the password
- You should also avoid using the same password on all sites.

Go offline, online!

A company of funeral directors in Northern Ireland have taken the innovative step of broadcasting services online.
The optional free service allows friends and relatives who are unable to attend - where distance or infirmity could be a problem - to participate from afar.
This is an incredibly creative yet practical use of the Internet, and whilst all the infrastructure exists - and isn't expensive - this is the first heard of example in the UK.
The Internet is really a powerful tool for bring people together, both in life and death it seems!
