  • David Churbuck’s recent post imploring bloggers to publish full feeds reminded me that I’ve been meaning to comment on this for a while.

  • E-mail authentication is expected to see wider adoption this year as senders and ISPs implement standards like Sender ID (define) and DKIM (define). Marketers benefit by having forged and deceptive messages filtered by the ISP or carrier.
  • All of those great charts that Hitwise so freely provide us, have paid off big time for the web intelligence company. Information services provider Experian has announced their cash purchase of Hitwise for $240 million.
