    Morning all,

    I wonder am I missing anything on this site?

    The resource material, research etc on this site is fantastic, but everything seems to come as a small novel!  Are there bitesize material which covers specific aspects of online business, something that can be read in 5/10 minutes, allowing you to investigate further if needs be.

    For examples:

    What's new in internet security

    Latest Web 2 developments

    Accessability, what you need to know

    Overview statistic of UK web browsers, i.e. broadband users etc

    I don't always have the time to read the in-depth documents, but like to keep up to date.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Hey Paul,

    It's a common issue - some people want the comprehensive report, others the bitesized chunk.

    The Best Practice Guides, for example, aren't really meant to be digested in one go, but are to be referenced when you're implementing a strategy,

    I'm with you though... I'm in favour of doing lots of concise reports through 2008, so watch this space.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for you repsonse.  The best practice guides are great and as you say ideal for referring to as we go.

    I seem to be treavelling a bit more now and find reading 3 or 4 pages regarding specific articles easy to digest and carry!  Especially as technology and legal issues are for ever evolving.

    I'll be watching this space!

    Regards

    Paul

    Cool. Keep an eye on the blog too, as we often publish summary tips, eg on optimising the checkout process, producing shopping comparison feeds, submitting links to blog directories, launching a Facebook app, etc etc.

    There's also the roundtable briefings, which are short and good for figuring out the issues and trends of the day.

    Thanks for the feedback.
