About

My name is Reggie James and I have created this blog to sit alongside two other company sites that I contribute to on a regular basis. This space allows me a a little more free play on my more personal thoughts on all things digital, creative and generally interesting - well to me at least.

I am founder of Digital Clarity and a shareholder in a variety of online and advertising businesses. I have been involved in the commercial element of the internet since its earliest days and have been instrumental in driving forward business models that are common place today. Prior to launching Digital Clarity, I was involved with publishing groups VNU & Ziff Davis as well as leading search company AltaVista, now part of Yahoo Inc.
