Aqute's Google Blog

And so it ends

We have decided to stop writing this blog. A couple of clients have now asked for this kind of news collation to be done as paid work, and it would not be fair to be doing it for free, albeit at a lighter level, here. Hopefully it has been of use; it's certainly been fun to do, given our fetish for data.

On a different note, we continue with our own competitive intelligence blog. Please do subscribe.
