The ICT markets in Europe continue to show single digit growth as reported in the EITO October. Strongest growth is in Spain again, while Germany is growing less but remains Europe's largest ICT market. Slides 9 and 10 show historical data dating back to 1994. Interesting to see the double digit growth in the IT markets in 1998, 1999 and 2000 and the crash from 2000 to 2001 followed even by declines in 2002 and 2003.
Since yesterday Google has added blogs to its successful Google Alerts service. Now it is possible to also see blog posts in your Google Alerts next to news and new web search results. This seems a minor thing but it actually means that blog articles reach the same status as news/press articles from press agencies and other traditional media sources at least when using Google Alerts. Analysts would say, the beginning of a paradigm shift?
