This is just a quick note to let you know that tomorrow I will be speaking on The future of the social web taking a part in a panel discussion. I have been speaking at a few events recently and this one should be interesting as it will include all of the Yorkshire authors from the Share This Too book I helped with. If this passed you by and you are are interested in coming along I believe there are still a few tickets available at: https://leedsbizweek.com/events/view/119/sharing-the-future-of-the-social-web Here’s the bumf: Panel session 4-6pm Social media is fundamentally disrupting how organisations ...

We have all been behind the camera and been asked a question we weren’t expecting. So I love this video as live on BBC News 24, consumer affairs correspondent Karen Bowerman interviews a man who she believes to be the online music expert Guy Kewney.

I think it’s fair to say that Facebook has witnessed exponential growth since launching all those years ago back in 2004.

I would like to personally thank the brilliant Wadds for inviting me to write something for this book it was a pleasure ... Read more

I love this video a nice execution of how to show off your product. It is a prank job interview where LG replace the window behind the interviewers head and they then play a clip of a crashing meteor whilst conducting the interview. I think most people would have fallen for this but I am not sure the second guy being interviewed liked it very much. Well done LG a great little stunt that has got people talking. This particular clip only has 35,000 views at present but I am sure it will keep on going up as more people ... Read more
