Having never really grasped Photoshop properly and only making minor changes to photographs using Apple’s Aperture on my old Mac, I thought it was time for me to really start editing my photos properly. After all sometimes you only have a single take whether it’s film or digital. With this in mind I began to [...]
The power of tagging
A seasonal post from me today… People often ask me why the hell they should bother tagging content? Lot’s of reasons for this and I could sit here and yammer on about tagging, taxonomies and folksonomies etc etc. Instead of me giving you guys a drawn out explanation I’ll let you do the reading into [...]

Twedit Twunch
I’ve just been messing about with some of the twitter analytics tools available on the web in order to gain an idea of how people are reacting towards the credit crunch. All the tools show a recent uplift in tweets during this month and twitter spectrum shows associative phrases around the term. Twist: Twitter Spectrum: [...]

Get involved – “Pass it on”
I’ve been watching Jamie’s Ministry of Food for a couple of weeks and I think it’s brilliant! A real life example of a social experiment that encourages people to cook, eat well and pass on their learnings. In the show Jamie drives around Rotherham, knocking on peoples doors, holding cooking classes and getting people to [...]

Kool collaboration
I was on the Vice website and saw this yesterday. Yes I know, I know, I read Vice. What can I say…I like the quirky photo journalism. I think it’s great how Volvo, Yahoo, Vice and The Independent have come together for this brand mash-up concept. All the underpinnings of a good social media exercise [...]

Geek Meet
So I attented twestival earlier during the week, a sort of social media, web2 and netrentrepreneur gathering all organised via twitter. This was definitely the first media event I had attended, which had been organised through twitter. Some people were shocked about how many agency bods had attended but then what did they expect? A [...]

I see the little ones have grown up, Chai?
When I was a kid I used to get taken to asian fabric shops by my parents every other Saturday. As my parents were regular customers they used to have a bit of banter with the shop keepers who used to serve them complimentary chai and food. You don’t exactly see this happening in John [...]
Hosting parties and making friends
One of my favourite quotes is: “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you” – Dale Carnegie That quote has long sat on my Facebook profile even before I started to understand Social Media [...]
