So I’ve neglected my blog for a while. Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those ‘Oh God, I’ve just been soooo busy’ posts. I work smart, not hard (I do work hard, honest Stuart!). It’s official; I’m going to write more stuffs. It’s also going to be redesigned and probably renamed (more on that later [...]
I hope that you appreciate the irony in this post as it’s meant, because it is meant. I’m sat on the train to London and East Midland Mainline don’t provide wi-fi or power points. And I’m sat in the quiet coach. None of these things really work with me, I’m no good without something to [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I suppose that’s a good thing… You wouldn’t want me to get all up in your grill or something cool like that. While I’ve not been too vocal, I have been watchful (feeddemon this, twitter that, email this, facebook that) and I think I’ve noticed something that [...]
OK, this is a bit of a vent. I hate certain types of blogging (if you’re expecting names, numbers and such like, ring me but I wont be putting them in print – it’s the paper trail and such like!). I blog because I like to write, I’ve got a bit of an audience (that’s [...]
In light of my decision to inject personality, I thought I’d highlight a few of the things that don’t really show me for who I am… Lets start at the beginning (it’s a very good place to start – no, I’m not a sound of music fan, but girlfriend/lodger is!!).
This is a post for those of you that I haven’t met, spoken to on the phone or emailed kind of regularly. This post is giving me a bit of grief. Let me explain…
OK, so everyone thinks that they’ve nailed the art of measuring emerging media. No one has. And personally, I don’t think that anyone ever will. If I suggested you read the Hunter S. Thompson biography written by Johnny Depp, and we’re pretty good friends, would you calculate how likely that is to happen on a [...]
I’ve been blogging for over six months now, in that time I’ve build up a pretty decent readership and quite a few subscribers – I must be doing something right I suppose. Either that or my rants are amusing. What does it mean though? It’s fine and dandy letting people in the industry know who [...]
Enough is enough. The UK government need to do one of two things; shut up pretending to understand the ideologies of the internet and modern communication or actually sit down and learn something about the online world after 1990. In the last three months we’ve had four incidents…
I was looking through the BeamItDown collection of iPod Touch/iPhone books the other day when I stumbled across something really interesting, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s ‘Fireside Chats’. Between 1933 and 1944 (the Great Depression) Roosevelt used to broadcast fireside chats that addressed a wide variety of topics. There were 29 chats in all and they ranged [...]
I just thought I’d mention some of the updates that I’ve been making to my blog. First of all, if you’ve noticed any changes then you must have come back after your first visit – thank you! Secondly, I’ve made the changes to make the blog easier to navigate, less cloggy and give a bit [...]
A very quick post because It’s late but I need to remove this beast from my ribcage. I often ask people why they don’t blog, or at least tweet, and the most frequent response is ‘what would I write about?’… Uuuurrrggghhhh!!! This is a conversation that mostly comes around when talking to new PRO’s or [...]
Are you… “Desirous to give a new orientation to my career, in an open and international environment, I permit myself to submit a spontaneous offer. Are you looking for someone dynamic and polyvalent, knowing to achieve the fixed objectives, on an international level, to fill a position with responsibilities“? – (Honestly, a direct quote from [...]
I’ve had a chat this afternoon with Chris, Sam and Natalie and everyone had a different opinion about blogging or talking in the online sphere about our clients or company. Where are we supposed to draw the line when it comes to client/company promotion? Is it cool for me to say; ‘wow, I love ****, [...]
