Jakob Nielsen:

"Small websites get less traffic than big ones, but they can still dominate their niches. For each question users ask, the Web delivers a different set of sites to provide the answers."

A few years ago I looked at what Jakob Nielsen published as a great source of insights. Now I feel he’s stating the obvious. I gather I do have a better handle on all things online now, and I suspect the relative added value of his columns has not been improving.

About this blog

I'm CEO of an online trade publishing firm in the marketing and defense verticals. We try to make news and data digestible and useful in an environment that is more noisy each day. This personal blog mixes my thoughts and interests on politics, business, software, and more, based on my business and personal experiences. Over the years I have posted items that turned out spectacularly wrong, and a few posts that stood the test of times better. Personal views only.
