Here’s a nice little idea.
And here’s the visual cues:
Plenty of scope to copy that in B2B campaigns. And I will. Unashamedly.

Sliderocket presented at Under The Radar in the US yesterday - scooping, wait for it, three gongs….Best in Show, the Judges Choice award, and the Audience Choice award.
Take the Tour.

In an era of ‘On Demand’ service and the continued blurring between ‘work’ and ‘play’, is it wrong to put up an Out of Office notice on your email these days?
I am beginning to think most people display far too old fashioned notices - and hide behind them.
I am out of the office from x [...]

I really like Seth Godin. Who wouldn’t in a role like mine? But today he got it wrong.
He said;
If you’re remarkable, amazing or just plain spectacular, you probably shouldn’t have a résumé at all.
I agree that jobs don’t get filled by people emailing in résumés, especially jobs in start-ups, or remarkable organisations. [...]

This blog is two years old today. On 16th March 2006 I decided I wanted to blog, and on 20th March 2006 I made my first post ever.
That’s just 730 days, or 17,520 hours ago.
And yet I feel I have achieved so much, and learnt so much. For instance in that time the blog has [...]

There is a good piece in silicon.com today about LinkedIn, and how their CEO believes that it is very different to Facebook and the other social networking sites.
I agree, and somewhat bizarrely disagree completely.
I’m very much in tune with LinkedIn’s CEO and his thinking about LinkedIn’s role and ‘reason for being’. In fact I [...]

I have mentioned Lee and Sachi LeFever’s WIKI and RSS video’s before.
Their series of short explanatory videos (The Common Craft Show) fight complexity - with simple videos in plain language. They call their format “paperworks”. I think they are simply great.
Their latest video is all about Twitter - and again is worth [...]

Those who ask “why” are typically more holistic or whole-brained thinkers.
Those who ask “how” are typically more box thinkers.
And those who ask “why not” are typically the challenging thinkers.
And yet all types, of course, are equally valuable and equally required for innovation!

I was recently invited to Apple’s store opening in Milton Keynes.
It got me thinking.
If you are a technology business professional there is no reason why you can’t put on a “Grand Opening” the next time there is a new office, or an “Open Day” when a new Service is launched, or a “Country [...]
