I bet Google ‘likes’ that: Search engine beats Facebook to number one in most visited websites by U.S. users in 2011

Google came out on top as the most popular website with US users this year followed closely by Facebook, according to market researchers.

Market research company, Nielsen said more than 153 million visitors clicked onto Google branded pages each month, while as Facebook drew nearly 138 million visitors.

Yahoo came third with about 130 million visitors each month.

But analysts warned the site’s popularity could be at risk as more young people turn away from web-based email.

Popular: More than 153 million visitors clicked onto Google branded pages each month throughout 2011

The Nielsen study is based on data collected between January and October and involved a sample of 200,000 people worldwide. Domain Names .

Research by Comscore suggests US-based 12 to 17-year-olds spent 30 per cent less time using web-based email between November 2010 and the same month this year.

The same study showed that the number of people in older age groups using web-based email was up.

But people aged 18 to 24 fell by 21 per cent and was down by 1 per cent in the 25 to 34 age bracket.

Ian Maude from Enders Analysis told the BBC: ‘Yahoo’s basic problem is that people are no longer looking for an all-you-can-eat service and instead want best-in-breed.

Facebook was identified as the most popular social networking site

For social networks that is Facebook, for search it’s Google.

‘Email is a front door to Yahoo and if people are no longer using their service it will affect them more broadly.

‘If Comscore’s data is an early indicator of a growing trend they have a major problem.’

In terms of most popular social networking websites, Nielsen’s research showed MarkZuckerberg’s creation ranked as most favourite ahead of the search engine’s Google+ which came eighth in the list attracting 8m visitors a month.

The site’s number of visitors also set back Google’s weblog publishing tool Blogger as well as Wordspace, Myspace, Linkedin and Tumblr.

HoweverGoogle’s YouTube turned out to be the most popular destination for online videos – attracting more than three times the number of monthly visitors as the music video service Vevo.

Paterson may widen search for top cop

PATERSON The city could have as many as 10 police officers seeking the title of police chief if officials expand the field of candidates to include those who hold the rank of captain.

Councilman William McKoy, chairman of the public safety committee, said the decision might ultimately rest with the administration as to whether the citys seven police captains should be allowed to vie for the promotion against three deputy chiefs.

But McKoy said he considered it a reasonable request that would diversify the pool, and expected the City Council to pursue the idea as the selection process for the citys next top cop gets under way.

Police Chief James Wittig will retire Saturday, the last day of the year, if the state Division of Local Government Services approves his $250,000 retirement package. San Pedro Web Design . The council approved the payout Tuesday night.

But Lisa Ryan, a spokeswoman for the division, said Wednesday that state regulators reviewing the deal have asked city officials for documents and a briefing. Ryan declined to comment further.

The next chief stands to inherit a department charged with improving public safety in one of the states most violent cities while keeping a close eye on how limited funding and resources are allocated.

Officers seeking the post will first need to take a promotion test conducted by the state Civil Service Commission. The mayor can then make an appointment from the three candidates who score highest. The nominee will go before the council for confirmation, McKoy said.

McKoy said he wants to open the test to police captains, which is allowed under civil service rules.

Mayor Jeffery Jones could not be reached Wednesday to comment on the proposal.

The screening process should include whether a candidate lives in Paterson, McKoy said. The community, he said, needs to know that the next police chief will possess a sense of ownership over the Police Department.

Email causes havoc at NY Times

AAP

In today’s digital age, it’s easy to send out an email by mistake even for a company that’s in the business of communication.

The New York Times thought it was sending an email to a few hundred people who had recently cancelled subscriptions, offering them a 50 per cent discount for 16 weeks to lure them back.

Instead, Wednesday’s offer went to 8.6 million email addresses of people who had given them to the Times.

That was the first mistake. The second came when the Times tweeted this: “If you received an email today about cancelling your NYT subscription, ignore it. General Contractor in Los Angeles, CA . It’s not from us.”

But the Times did send the original email, Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said.

“This email should have been sent to a very small number of subscribers, but instead was sent to a vast distribution list made up of people who had previously provided their email address to The New York Times. Boxing rings . We regret the error,” Murphy said in an email.

“The initial tweet was in error and we regret the mistake.”

The damage had already been done, however.

Many people called or wrote in. The newspaper initially honoured the discount, even to people who were already paying full price and had no plans to cancel.

Murphy said the newspaper stopped giving out discounts to people who received the email in error by early afternoon. She did not say how much the gaffe cost the company or specify how many people contacted the newspaper.

The newspaper has made big strides in raising revenue from digital subscriptions. It says it has gained 324,000 digital subscribers since restricting full online access to paying subscribers in March.

Today’s email is ‘not acceptable’

28 December 2011Last updated at 19:10 ET Email must become more subject-centric and collaborative if it is to remain an important tool for businesses, Neil Murray says

Each week we ask high-profile technology decision-makers three questions.

From its beginnings in 2003, Neil Murray has been responsible for building Mimecast – now the leading provider of cloud-based email management for Microsoft Exchange and Office 365 – from the ground up.

Neil Murray’s new Victorian home may look pretty, but it is a nightmare for connected working

It now serves over 4,500 customers and more than one million users worldwide, with offices in Europe, USA, South Africa and the Channel Islands. elearning services .

Neil co-founded the business, and today he continues to lead the development of all the company’s technology, overseeing the construction of Mimecast’s platform and spearheading their move into the mobile space.

What’s your biggest technology problem right now?

We’re an email company, but our technological problem isn’t email, really. It’s the production of technology.

Traditionally, the way people have built software has been fairly linear. You design it, you build it, you ship it.

But in the cloud space, and certainly in the email space, the evolution of the code is so rapid that our biggest problem is getting new features out in days, not weeks or months or years.

To get to that point, we’re kind of in the middle of a change to a philosophy called “continuous delivery”, a technique which has been pioneered by quite a lot of the big cloud, business-to-consumer vendors, where what you do is you tend to automate everything.

So as your developers automate their code, the test is automated and the deployment of the software is near-on immediate. You’re shipping very small changes in real-time to your cloud production system as your day goes by. You’re not versioning, you’re not doing all that traditional stuff.

It is fairly complex to take an organisation like ours, which has been around since 2003, and re-build it internally to do that kind of stuff. But it’s a critical requirement to keep up with the pace.

It’s something that has to evolve within our business so we can cope with other, smaller problems.

The big challenge is re-engineering the business for that rate of change.

What’s the next big tech thing in your industry?

I’d call it ‘email evolved’.

Some people call it Email 2.0, but I think that was overused as a term two or three years ago, to mean email that was just spam free.

Email can’t go anywhere. I often have to answer the question, for various reasons, as to why email still exists. Everybody is convinced that because kids are using Twitter and Facebook they don’t need to use email anymore.

The reality is that as soon as you have a job, and a need for asynchronous, subject-centric communications, you tend to use email because it’s the only standard that’s agreed upon by all businesses in the world as a collaborative medium.

Email can evolve fairly rapidly – and it has no choice. It’s on the desk of every working person. It occupies maybe four or five hours of their life depending on how much of an information worker they are.

It’s not acceptable in its current form. The evolution, I would expect, from email is that it become much more collaborative, and much more transparently viewed.

If you think of Twitter as the far extreme of transparency, and the current traditional email as the least transparent medium and very closed down, I see email as morphing into a broader capability, transparent, project-centric sharing system.

What’s the biggest technology mistake you’ve ever made – either at work or in your own life?

My wife and I have just bought this old Victorian house.

I had complete disregard for how a modern, networked, “has to be live online every day” kind of person could function in a house that essentially filters out radio waves.

The walls are two-foot thick – it’s a lovely building – but it’s not designed for the things that I need to do in it. What that used to be 100 years ago is entirely different to what it is now.

It’s quite a lesson in ‘built for purpose’. I certainly have to make a significant technological investment in this place to allow it to function, or to allow it to allow me to function in my normal mode these days – which is essentially with the internet plugged into my head!

I’m planning a long-term strategy of running some high-speed cable through the property – but I have to do all of this as a process of when it suits the rebuilds, and when it suits refurbishments and things like that.

It can be done – it’s a mistake in that it never occurred to me that this was a thing I would be spending money on.
