We’re changing the name of our Firefox extension and we’d like to solicit your help in return for the opportunity to feel good and win an iPod Touch at the same time. The current working name is ‘Search Thresher’ which I’m sure you’ll agree, is too much of a mouthful. In order for you to [...]

I’ve got a half-baked post in the oven about the Australian Government’s poor decision to censor the Web. Trust on the Web, protecting people from inappropriate content, better content discovery and content classification, are all terms that underpin Segala’s business.

I’ve known about this for a very long time but [...]

Here’s another go at explaining what Content Labels are. I’ll start by explaining what problem is being solved and then talk about how to accelerate the process of getting mass adoption by building an ecosystem. Steve Clayton, Microsoft UK Partnerships CTO sums up what we’re doing quite nicely on Facebook. Had a great chat with [...]
