UPDATE: I’ve made the steps a little clearer to how you actually do this. (As a quick FYI, this post will show you how to export and filter Facebook using RSS – pretty cool.) I’ve written at length about my narcissism obsession with being constantly connected and always having my ear to the ground for [...]
“As we leave behind the 20th century, it is almost as if we have come full circle back to the village where everyone potentially knows your business” Zeynep Tufekci, Wired Nov 09, P.113. This is true. And you know what is also true? The internet won’t change our lives, it will add to our lives. [...]
OK, so after an afternoon of intense beard-mongering, we’re having a #beardedbeers meet up. This will be like no other meet up. There’ll be drinks, people and geeks. See, completely new. Sign up for #beardedbeers non-conference barcamp cool kids bash here. When we breach the heady numbers of twenty, I’ll find a venue and a [...]
I read over Matthew Watsons post last night on whether or not #PRFail is a #PRFail and I started bashing out a bit of a comment and it ended up being a bit of an essay, so I thought I’d write it here and then link Matthew up to the eyeballs. The premise of Matthews [...]
OK, so this is a little bit contentious. Everyone harps on about follower numbers don’t matter this and it’s not a popularity contest that. For certain people, it is. And it should be. Let’s ‘unwrap this a little bit’.
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 [...]
So I had my geekiest moment last night. An epiphany of geek if you will… I went to bed relatively early after having a pretty rough day, and did the final check of email and twitter and I caught eye of a fist fight little debate that was just winding up on Twitter involving Wadds, [...]
It’s time to worry people. The economy is fudged, the weather is trying to stop us working and guess what? We have a new type of addiction… Information addiction. It’s true, people every day are streaming away from bars and restaurants to check their emails. Oh, hold on, no their not, they’re simply checking their [...]
Yes, I probably write about this sort of stuff far too often (see here, here and maybe here) but it’s something that repeatedly bugs me. Emails arrive every day, and every day I get a little more frustrated. If I don’t let off steam here, then it could develop into some sort of medical problem. [...]
As some of you may already know, I was off the grid for most of this week and spent five days in Center Parcs with my friends. It’s been the first time I’ve been (almost) totally offline since I went travelling and I was a bit apprehensive really – I know, I know.
So, as 2009 dawns (I promise that’s the last time I write that, honest) and we look to a rather lean year ahead, I’m posing a contentious question; Where does social media actually fit in a business?
After a very insightful conversation with James Whatley about how to rescue a community, I’ve seen the light.
After begging with Ben Matthews to be tagged (he eventually stooped to tagging me as ‘Jeddy H’ something only three people in my life call me!) in Ged Carroll’s meme regarding where his inspiration for blog posts comes from. Since then loads of people have been tagged and loads of people have given really interesting [...]
