By Andy Beard | Published: September 11, 2009

It looks like the annual Technorati State Of The Blogosphere is going to be lacking a lot of data this year - maybe just Gmail users, but possibly many more. Google thinks Technorati are phishing. Technorati Email Flagged In Gmail As Phishing

Gmail Team – Please Fix These First

By Andy Beard | Published: June 6, 2008

I know the new additions to Gmail are just tweaks, and mainly created in Google "20% time" but these little problems cause me no end of frustration.

Gmail Spam False Positives

I have to read my spam folder daily, because it gets sometimes 200 spam email messages, and within that may be as many as 5% false positives.

These are emails I want to receive, which I have signed up to receive, I have confirmed a subscription with a full "double opt-in" process, and are from senders I previously had no problems receiving email from.

Some examples are occasional emails from list owners

Exclusive: Gmail – Scandalous Email Filtering At Source

By Andy Beard | Published: November 3, 2007

Someone a few minutes ago sent me a legitimate enquiry via my contact form, a 100% text based message.

I do try to be responsive to enquiries that I can deal with quickly, so I emailed them straight back, and received the following delivery failure.

Gmail Want Help With Spam Filters

By Andy Beard | Published: September 15, 2007

I have been spending a fairl amount of time recently pulling email I want to read from the spam folder, even emails sent to me from my own contact form.

Today while pulling an email from the spam folder I was greeted with this message.

This appears to be something newly implemented as Forrester Research were recently talking about problems with filtering.

There are also seems to be lots of talk about an offline version of Gmail coming soon, but so far nothing substantial in the rumour mill.

How to Setup Email Notifications to Avoid Your Wordpress Blog Being Suspended

By Andy Beard | Published: March 3, 2007

I have always been attracted to the Subscribe-to-Comments plugin, but at the same time installing it has always filled me with dread. Whilst it can be a great community building aid, and a useful tool for regular visitors who like to interact, it can be a liability.

Polish Gmail vs Google Gmail – The Poets vs The Court Jester

By Andy Beard | Published: February 17, 2007

Google might well have goofed again with Gmail domain registrations. I live in Poland so this is quite comical for me, and thus the comical headline. The Polish court system isn't quite as well organised as the US, but decisions are often made faster and a lot cheaper. What that means to Google is that they can't throw a fit and expect a small group of poets to concede defeat, and that their size as a company might not give them any advantage (unless they know someone who can influence decisions).

I am not a lawyer, and the following is for

Google Reader News and When Will Google Create a Social Network?

By Andy Beard | Published: February 16, 2007

Google Reader is one of the easiest to use RSS Readers currently available. The code is fairly light, thus allowing you to skim read 100s of RSS articles quickly. One of its many failings however, which I have pointed out previously was the lack of reporting subscriber counts to Feedburner.
