Digital Pulse for August 2008

Digital Pulse indices
Digital Pulse: 
121.5
Current Index: 
129.2
6 month Index: 
120.4
Employment Index: 
135.2
Move Jobs Index: 
128.2
Salary Index: 
94.4
Current Confidence Index: 
119.6
Future Confidence Index: 
124.3
Two month’s of gains in confidence were wiped out with August’s Digital Pulse index falling 2.33% to 121.5, virtually the same level as May’s result. The index of market conditions in six months time took the biggest hit with a 6.33% drop in the last month with only small drops in confidence around employment. Taking into account that these results pre-date the troubles on Wall Street and in London, and the Digital Pulse index may take somewhat of a battering in September.

Search and location up a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

Every year it's the same moldy old format recycled round the media hype circuit. It's the year of the mobile web, of mashups. It's the end of print media, the death of the gatekeeper. Revolutions are ushering themselves in left, right and centre, and whoosh! Life as we know it will be forever unutterably changed... yeah!

Digital Mission - departure arrival and day 1

30,000 Feet up in the air feels like a very odd place to be writing a blog post, but it is curiously appropriate. I'm halfway between London and New York as I type this. Around me are representatives from the Digital Mission companies. Already, just a few hours into the mission, there have been discussions about the challenges and opportunities of business between the UK and the US .
