Whilst the economic news goes from worse to dire, this month's Digital Pulse shows what might be the slightest chink at the end of the tunnel with a deceleration in the fall of confidence across the digital sector. Admittedly, it’s not much light, but October's overall Digital Pulse index fell by 4.4% compared with a fall of 7.5% between August and September. Similar to the last couple of months all the indices show a fall, with the biggest fall showing in confidence with the current market conditions, down 8.6% from September, compared with a fall of 9.4% the previous month.
