So the new series of Silicon Valley started last week. While watching it, one of the characters refers to the oncoming “Datageddon” on the horizon. Another character then bands about that there are too many -geddons happening. As we’ve been blogging about previously, everyone is gearing up for Mobilegeddon tomorrow. To save you having to trawl through numerous timelines and feeds getting in a tizzy, here are the top tweets mentioning #Mobilegeddon. Read more

So Birdman won Best Picture at the Oscars a few hours ago. We’ll tell you what it won’t win: ranking number 1 for the term ‘Birdman’ (it sits at the bottom of the first page). Much like Michael Keaton losing his marbles, the site doesn’t have an XML sitemap or Robots.txt among a whole host of problems. But enough about movies having poorly optimised sites, let’s see what is going on the digital marketing world today. Read more

Monday morning drama in the office today as our office pup caused a fuse to trip and everyone’s computer to go KAPOOT. So while some of us hope and pray that file recovery is working properly (and some of us wisely conserve laptop battery), here’s what going on in the digital world over the last few days. Read more
Monday Mentions: 26th January
There are three types of people in any office. Those who channelled their inner 12 year old and stayed up to watch the Royal Rumble who now suffer from extreme fatigue, those who don’t know or care what one is, and those like me who are putting a severe no spoilers warning on anyone who so much as utters the words “royal” or “rumble” in conversation.

Happy Monday morning everybody. Hope you all had a good weekend and didn’t have to spend the first half hour of your morning commute in the driveway scraping ice off the wind shield. It’s colder than cold outside today and with a big freeze set to continue all week, it’s getting so cold that our poor fingers are having a hard time thumbing through our phones to provide a welcome distraction to the start of the day. You don’t have to suffer the same fate though. Read more

It’s miserable outside today. Grey skies. Wind battering against the windows. Relentless rain. It’s fantastic inside Boyd Digital HQ though (apart from the fact we forgot to buy coffee this morning). We have soul music blaring through the speakers and the office pup is here. So what’s going on in the world of digital marketing this week? Read more

That final rush to get all work out of the office door and delivered so you can get the festivities going is what most minds will be on this week. In between panicking over who needs what and making sure you don’t go over deadlines, it’s important to remember the most important part of the work day: reading tweets disguised as work.

The finest knitted jumpers of snowflakes, snowmen, reindeer and trees are on in the office this morning. A quickly found Xmas playlist from YouTube is currently blaring from the speakers and we’re all in a very festive mood this morning. Read more

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here in Glasgow. It’s absolutely freezing this morning, the level of festively decorated treats is on the upswing and everyone is quick to huddle around their coffee mugs as soon as they get indoors. Read more

Good Monday Morning from Las Vegas. It is just after 1:00am here in the desert and there isn’t a scarf or woolly hat in sight. We’re here at the Ungagged event learning what leading companies in the States are doing in the SEO world. Read more

It’s officially scarf and hat season this morning in Glasgow, and with Christmas coffees, Greggs cookies, sandwiches and soups on offer, a strict diet of festive food is on the agenda for the foreseeable future. Read more

The first week of November aka “Fireworks making you jump out of your seat every few hours” week is in full swing. After a fun filled Halloween weekend and a comedown from the sugar overdose of unclaimed trick of treat goodies, all eyes on are the big names who are suddenly panicking about their back links and how Groupon is only catching on to what their audience might want.

So we’re a week (and a little bit) removed from all this Penguin hullabaloo, and apart from having a serious craving for chocolate covered bourbon biscuits, the only way is up it seems for our sites. Read more
Monday Mentions: 20th October
The Monday morning blues are in full swing in the office today. After a cracking weekend of doing our best to beat UFC fighter Robert Whiteford at table tennis and watching Glasgow Warriors thrash Bath on Saturday, all eyes on now on checking to see if there has been any change from the Penguin update that rolled out late on Friday.

Winter has most definitely come to town today. Plenty of folk around town suddenly decked out in scarves and gloves. We’re predicting a 125{262b22605905d7bdadc9d0423a4a46028d1c16e5c2069f052c9de36584b442a6} increase in the number of people gripping on to their mugs in the morning for a bit of warmth. If the weather stays this way, we’re keeping our eyes out for an increase in hot water bottle searches this month. Read more

Rain rain go away. No seriously. Go away. Today Glasgow is greyer than normal and not even a good dose of Fleetmac Wood (yes we’re spelling that right) is wiping away the fact that autumn has truly settled in. So while we all get ready to huddle around the heaters and the consumption of tea goes up 300{262b22605905d7bdadc9d0423a4a46028d1c16e5c2069f052c9de36584b442a6}, let’s see what goes on in the world of digital marketing Read more

Glasgow has been like a baked Alaska this past weekend: warm on the outside, cold on the inside. With all the Referendum hyperbole reaching its conclusion, our eyes are once again back on Twitter in search of every nugget out SEO news out there. Sifting through hundreds of automated ‘#seo #google’ tweets is enough to drive a person mad, but when a gold star tweet is found, well we just have to share it. Read more

We don’t know if you know this, but it’s a pretty big week here in Scotland. With Yes and No signs pretty much everywhere you look, the country will definitely be looking at one hell of a recycling job no matter which way the vote goes come Friday morning. Read more
Monday Mentions: 8th September
Kicking off the working week and hearing Paul Simon and Sting just announced a gig together in Glasgow is enough for us to go searching for the best songs by both (Englishman in New York & You Can Call Me Al respectively of course). If you disagree, then tweet us and let us know which you think arebetter. And while you’re at it, you should see what we’re reading about on Twitter this morning. Read more
