Take the Tour.
I think this is one of those ‘Miss it - Miss out’ moments.

‘Grown up’ social networking

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 [...]

Twitter on paper

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 [...]

When is your next Grand Opening?

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 [...]

A map of the Internet & Web trends

Information Architects have presented their Web Trends Map (2008 beta). This time they have taken almost 300 of the most influential and successful websites and pinned them down to the greater Tokyo-area train map. By the way, I posted about previous versions before, here.

The Meatball Sundae Webinar: A review

WOW. What a great way to spend an hour! With 2000 people on the call Seth Godin’s seminar about ‘Meatball Sundae’ was well worth the investment in time.
I thought I’d quickly highlight what was said in the seminar, and how I interpreted this, for those who could not attend and haven’t read the book.

Lazysphere. An Idea spreading fast

I really didn’t know whether to write this. But ho-hum. Here goes….
On his blog Micro Persuasion, Steve Rubel explores technology and its impact on marketing communications. One of his posts The Lazysphere and the Decline of Deep Blogging has really struck a cord with bloggers, journalists and online observers. And [...]

Social Networks and a Golden Ratio

It’s bugged me for a while, and low and behold Seth Godin sums it up again. First. And that’s two posts in a row from me, with a Godin influence! Damn it that guy is good.
Anyway, Seth says “One of the mantras of networking (and the many social networking sites that people are flocking [...]

Eight Business Technology Trends

Bruce discusses The McKinsey Quarterly and their “Eight Business Technology Trends To Watch” ;with a particular emphasis on those trends with an impact on Customer Experience.
As an aside “Business Technology” trends. There’s a phrase that won’t last too much longer.
n.b. 1: Bruce Temkin is Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research focusing on [...]

Why next year will be make or break for traditional media

I’ve never copied anything into my blog verbatim so I really want to reference the source on this one……so for the absence of doubt what follows is taken entirely from The Business, and was authored by David Crow (Not me). It is a great piece, and I think you should read it.

Geek Night 4

I went to an interesting event yesterday evening in Oxford - Oxford Geek Night 4. Oxford Geeks (and the event series) aim to pull together information and people from in and around Oxford, UK. The community is mainly aimed at geeks of computer science and/or Web development, but to be fair they’re a [...]
