Why Tracking AI Overviews Is a Data Pipeline Problem, Not a Marketing One

Something quietly moved onto the ops backlog over the past eighteen months. Executives began asking whether the company appears in AI-generated search answers, and the request landed with whoever owns data collection rather than with the people who own the question.

How to Choose the Right Influencer Search Tool for Your Brand

Influencer marketing works for ecommerce brands because it borrows trust that already exists. A creator's audience has chosen to follow them, which is a very different starting point from a cold ad impression. For a WordPress or WooCommerce store, two things have to work together. You need to find relevant creators without spending a week on it, and you need the traffic they send to land somewhere that converts.

How Professionals Can Choose the Right Credit Card for Everyday Use

Many professionals manage routine expenses, including groceries, commuting, software subscriptions, and occasional travel. Because a credit card creates recurring costs and rewards, it deserves careful review. Interest should shape the decision. Bankrate reported an average U.S. credit card APR of 19.57% on July 22, 2026, down from a record high of 20.79% on August 14, 2024. Carrying a balance near that average can outweigh most rewards. The process below assumes you pay your statement balance in full each month.

The Waiting Game for Data Centre Capacity (And How UK Businesses Can Beat It)

UK data centre occupancy hit 91% in 2024, according to Arizton market data, and new capacity is not arriving fast enough to close the gap. Grid connection wait times for new projects now run between five and 15 years, reports Data Center Dynamics, and Savills has attributed the 11% year-on-year drop in new capacity delivery to power constraints rather than a lack of demand or investment. Rising wholesale energy costs are addingpressure to an already tight market.

SEO isn't just a marketing KPI anymore. It's a security one.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we sat down with Patrick Kobly, who runs security for a boutique MSSP serving fintech, crypto, and gaming clients, to dig into how phishing has evolved past the obvious tells. Kobly walks through how attackers spin up reverse proxies behind Cloudflare, route through residential IPs to dodge reputation-based blocking, and can take a fake domain from registration to full attack in under five hours. The conversation turns into an unexpected case for treating SEO as a security discipline, since search rank and AI-generated results are now part of the attack surface too.

Sending HighPriority Messages from OnPage's Dispatcher

See how OnPage Dispatcher helps teams centralize and streamline time-sensitive communication. In this demo, a request is created in Dispatcher, routed to the appropriate on-call specialist, and tracked through acknowledgment and response. We also show how the communication is bi-directional, and responses can be seen within the dispatcher, with a complete audit trail.

From alert to answer: a hands-on investigation with trace analysis in Mezmo

Authored by Sven Delmas, VP of Research at Mezmo I wanted to know what Mezmo's new trace features feel like with real telemetry behind them, so I built the smallest honest rig I could: the OpenTelemetry demo application running in a local Kubernetes-in-Docker cluster on my machine, one collector, and one deliberately simple Mezmo pipeline.

Finding Balance in an Always-On Job

Being in IT is already a job that can take its toll, with always-on hours and constant notifications, it can be a heavy mental load. And when it comes to IT leadership, the responsibilities pile up even more.

All of that can add up to more hours than you have in a day.
