Deconstructing Stephen Fry
I’m really liking StephenFry.com, he has turned into a celebrity Social Media Evangelist. The only thing that I question about his whole concept is the use of his own video content? Why is it not being hosted on a platform like Vimeo, Revver or Viddler? If people could embed his video content onto their own [...]

Obama won because of hip-hop
I saw this interview live whilst I was eating my supper, other friends who also saw it said they cringed. I’ve got all of Dizzees’ albums and I know for a fact he’s not stupid, some of his lyrics are quick witted and quite clever. Part of me thinks was he playing up to the [...]

Digging Bookmarks
Soo every other brand or website is dying to be on-trend in regards to “social media” and “web2”.

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 [...]
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 [...]
