Over the past couple of weeks we've been involved in developing a Real-Time Cricket widget. It's been a collaboration, with Opta Sports providing the data, Kwwika powering the real-time client push as well as doing a bit of dev on data archi...
We've got a potential client interested in using Kwwika on HP webOS so we've been working with them to test the Kwwika JavaScript library on a platform that we've not been directly targeting. After a problem glitch with the 64bi...
Over the past few months at PW we've noticed steady increase in the number of mentions of Data as a Service (DaaS) and this trend looks to continue. Our first post on the subject was by a guest author Pete Soderling who introduced us to the concept and discussed pricing models.

The latest big move in this area sees NASDAQ creating a Data-On-Demand service accessible through a Web API.

WIFI is absolutely essential for those working on the move. This is one reason why free WIFI is popping up all over the place. Cafes, public places with nearby shops and even petrol stations (service stations) are offering free WIFI as a w...
I'm looking forward to Gary Vaynerchuk's new book called The Thank You Economy. I know what's going to be in it. But, I'm still going to buy it. This is the point that Gary will make in the book. I know what Gary means by "The Thank You ...
Here's an interesting example where Google really isn't returning the most relevant information. Search for "real-time web" and realtime3w.com gets returned in 9th position. All they have is a slightly relevant URL. Maybe this is actually ...
I was just looking at my web stats and was presented with a Chrome advertisement at the top of the page. But I'm already using Chrome so what's the point in showing me an advert for it. That's just a wasted advert impression.Goo...
