A web war between two countries

September 30, 2009 Barrie Bramley Leadership, TT Internal Issues 2 Comments

OK so the title of this post completely over-states what you’re about to read, but once you read it you’ll hopefully sympathise and appreciate the dramatic exaggeration : )

We’ve recently updated the look and feel of our brand to ensure a more consistent look and feel for our South African and UK offices.

Outside of the new look and feel, we created a single landing page from our historical web url (www.tomorrowtoday.biz) and from there offer two options:

Of course one of the first questions asked was which country get’s to be on the left of the page? The answer was simple. Our SA team designed the page we choose. However, our competitive streak entered the conversation and we agreed to track Google Analytics on each of the two country sites and whichever had the most hits, most unique visitors, most pages visited, longest time per page, etc, etc (a very complicated algorithm is always involved when Graeme’s involved) would get to be on the left.

This month (our first competing month) the UK won. It was tight and there is obviously a query from our side on a sudden very unusual spike in the middle of the month. But we’ve edited the landing site in the mean time, while we give our UK colleagues some time to come forward with the true story around that unusual black swan spike of theirs : )

Africa’s Gift to Silicon Valley: How to Track a Crisis

A report under this title appeared in the New York Times on 12 March 2010. It’s a great example of a few things, but especially of the power of social media, and the fact that innovation (and competition) can come from anywhere these days.

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
My last tweet was 9999989724. Wild. Will be at 10 [...]
