A decade ago mobile phones were something you made calls on. In 2002 Amazon had only just made the shift into profitability. There was no Facebook. There was not even a Myspace, although pioneers like Friends Reunited and Friendster were laying the foundations for the future success of the social network format. The UK high street was growing and retailers were midway through a long-term policy of aggressive big-box expansion that has reshaped the shopping landscape.

  • The Impact of Social Networking in the UK
    The Impact of Social Networking in the UK Lead Analyst: Heather Hopkins, Hitwise UK Social networking cemented its status as a bona fide Internet phenomenon in 2007. The question for businesses taking a long, hard look at this trend is whether its growth is sustainable, and if so, how can it really support through-the-line marketing? This Experian-Hitwise report looks in detail at the key social networking learnings from 2007, the trends that are most likely to play out in 2008, and the critical areas that brands need to consider when developing their social media marketing strategies. Key insights and in-depth analysis of the social networking environment in the UK is provided by Robin Goad, Director of Research for Hitwise. Tony Mooney, Managing Partner at Experian ClarityBlue, the specialist consulting division at Experian Integrated Marketing, recommends the key areas to focus on in 2008 when looking to capitalise on the opportunities social media marketing presents. www.hitwise.co.uk www.experianim.com Section One: The Social Networking Landscape 1 What are social networks? Social networking websites are online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. They typically provide a variety of ways for users to interact, through chat, messaging, email, video, voice chat, fi le-sharing, blogging, and discussion groups. Facebook, Bebo and MySpace are currently the most popular and well-known social networks in the UK, and all three appeared amongst the top 10 most-visited websites in the UK during November 2007, while ‘bebo’, ‘facebook’ and ‘myspace’ were also in the top 5 search terms in the UK during the same time period.

  • UK-OSINT April 2016
    Newsletter 4 UK-OSINT April 2016 www.uk-osint.net & www.qwarie.com A Belated Newsletter So let me start with an apology for this rather belated newsletter. When we started doing these newsletters in January last year we were aiming to produce four a year, at regular intervals. We only managed to do three in 2015 but then we were away a lot, busy with training courses, not only in the UK but also in Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Mexico. So we are sorry that we never got to put together the fourth newsletter in 2015 and that this, the first one of 2016 is coming out way after January. But anyway we are back and have put together a new newsletter which we hope you will find interesting and very much hope to bring out at least another four this year. There have been many changes over the last few months, which we will try to cover in this edition but let us first say goodbye to Friends Reunited, which for many of us in the UK and some of the Common Wealth countries was our first social networking site. Friends Reunited was once really popular, with over 10million people in the UK being on there (and importantly being searchable in so many different ways, be it name, school, work place, hometown etc.) and had remained a useful OSINT tool, as all of the information uploaded by its users was still there. But we guess running a site like that, with hardly anyone using it, was an expensive waste for its owners, who finally pulled the plug in February and it has now closed for good and all of the information held on it is no longer available.
