Twitter is a fad!
Recently I was in a meeting where somebody said twitter was a fad, that it will die and people WILL get bored. I guess there are no write or wrong answers to a statement like that, maybe the bird will tip off its perch, who knows! What I am sure about is the new trend [...]

Well hello Mr President!
Another fake we think, we’re not convinced by the tiny amount of followers. Btw: As Gary V would say “This is the thunder post!”, post 100 people.
People powered search vs. Algorithm powered search
For quite some time I have been sanity checking some of my searches in delicious. Basically everytime I do a search in Google, I replicate it in Delicious. I’ve been trying to see which of the two provide me with the most accurate search results, across a variety of search terms. Google launching Search Wiki [...]
Bad Terminology
Lot’s of talk in the SEO world about “link-bait”, basically great content which increases the amount of relevant, keyword-rich links that point back to your domain or specific landing pages. I don’t like the term “link-bait’ it makes people in the SEO business sound like snake oil salesman. Good links are important don’t get me [...]

Bragging design
Brag ‘n’ dare community website Bragster has a cool homepage feature, little translucent dialogue boxes that pop up to let visitors know about conversations happening inside. You can’t come in though, you have to become a member, very clever me thinks.

Shirky @ the ICA
I went to see Clay Shirky at the ICA today, it’s always good to listen to him speak about all things collaboration and social media. I’ll spare all the finer points of his seminar as I don’t want to turn this into another collaboration/social meeja blog post. If you haven’t heard him speak before, it’s [...]

Tru-Thoughts
I’ve become a massive fan of Brighton based record label Tru-Thoughts. All tracks can be bagged from etchshop.co.uk and I thoroughly recommend the shapes compilations. Hectic!

“Collaboration starts internally”
I’ve recently been helping a number of clients get to grips to social meeja whilst simultaneously developing their social strategies. I often notice that people, departments, and organisations in general are not social internally, yet they still expect to build deeper relationships with strangers on the web. Funny that isn’t it? My role in these [...]
