2 quick ideas/suggestions
1. I find it annoying that whenever a new forum group is added, I have to change me email digest settings and add it. We should add a feature (all forums). This will/should be included within the new email settings sections.
2. We have discussed before a media buying listing of companies. i.e. what new media age place in their magazine each week. The top sites to place your ads, the stats, the demographic breakdowns etc. I have been looking at the site http://omega.nma.co.uk/ which has a search engine & all the stats available. Should we propose making some kind of a deal with them (maybe even just a link and a logo saying where the content came from) and offering this data. I think it is extremely valuable and probably could do with some more coverage. It would probably be difficult for us though to offer them something in return.
Other attractive data which would be nice to find someone who could supply it to us is browser, os, screen res stats (for usabillity & designers).
Another interesting one is http://www.netcraft.com. Type in www.hotmail.com and see what server they are using, when they changed over from linux to Windows NT, back again to linux as it crashed, and then finally on to windows 2000. This kind of data is fantastic, not sure of the relevance to e-consultancy.com. However, they also have information on general web server usage trends etc. which once again would be nice to have.
just a thought.

Agree with Point 1. Also point 2 - this data would be great to have. I think we have things we might be able to give back in return. Will put on the list of commercial opportunities come March / April time.
NB you should post your Netcraft information to the public Technology Forum.
