Today (9th March 2010) due to a clash with client appointments this Wednesday, we have had to move Free Business Intelligence Wednesday to a Tuesday! At 1200pm until 130pm we will be in Coffee Republic, Reading, Berkshire (UK). You won't be able to miss us! It will be myself with a laptop sat in a remote part of the shop with a briefcase and a FT on the table! Come along and say hi (and bagsy your free coffee!).

The location of Coffee Republic in Reading can be found on opposite Costa Coffee outside the Oracle on Mill Lane.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

We recently stumbled across an organisation known as Atomic Labs and their product Pion Replay. If you haven't heard of these guys already, then definitely continue reading as it's about to change the way you go about getting MI for your online organisation.

Pion is effectively a packet sniffer which sits on the outside of your web server. Every request that is made to your web site is effectively proxied through Pion. The effects are staggering and have only previously been matched by the likes of Speed-Trap and Tealeaf (if you know Business Insight/Web Analytics, you would have heard of these companies before) which are commonly quite large investments for most organisations to swallow.

Vodafone UK’s Twitter feed has been compromised by an internal employee who sent out an offensive message to its 8,663 followers.

According to Vodafone, an employee breached Vodafone rules by posting an offensive message though the company’s profile.

The message, which read, “Is fed up of dirty homo’s and is going after beaver” was posted at 3.47pm today and the telecoms giant has since been apologising individually to followers who have responded to the post.

A spokesman for Vodafone said, “It was a severe breach of conduct by staff but we apologise to followers. They will hopefully keep faith and carry on following us.”

Vodafone also confirmed that the member of staff involved had been suspended.
