There aren’t many people around today, but I thought it would be fitting to end the year with a Friday Mail: it’s a collection of sites and activities that cover topics that have been discussed and reviewed over the year; a veritable smorgasbord of digital delights.
Have a great evening tonight and a Happy New Year!

It has been a pitchtastic couple of weeks, with the prospect of more to come. As a result I have been looking at ways of introducing greater levels of engagement in the way we present our work. The other week, I cited PptPlex and Presi as a couple of great tools and having played around [...]

Sorry. No AR this week – I’m too busy writing up a workshop on Direct Sourcing. So instead, we have a back to basics mail on a dull and dreary Friday. No theme. No reason. Just a world of web weirdness.
Enjoy
P.S. Unlike some of the emails that have been doing the rounds today, you can [...]

Rock the nation!

There was a lot of publicity around the recent blocking of social media sites by the Iranian government in an attempt to limit the publication of adverse news on the Iranian elections (I like this blog’s view). More recently, the Chinese government has decreed that all new PCs come equipped with PC screening software in [...]

World news has been completely overshadowed by the death of Michael Jackson. The YouTube vid above is an interesting way of seeing how quickly the information was picked up on Twitter and then became a Storm. As an interesting addendum, MJs videos have stormed the viral video charts, to represent the entire top 20.

Following on from the recent escapades of two (now ex) Domino’s employees I have been trying trying to follow up on whether either the damage to the brand has actually impacted the share price.

So the Twitchiker’s journey has come to an end. For those of us who have been following, it’s been an interesting experiment to see unfold. For those of use who haven’t been following the premise is this: could a man travel from the UK to NZ in 30 days, with the journey paid for and [...]

Until recently, I had never heard of SXSW. However, over the past few weeks, my Twitter account has been besieged by a seemingly endless stream of informative and thought-provoking soundbites, articles and ideas, all coming from this event.
Now events aren’t new, especially those heralding the ‘must attend’ nature of content. Nor are the endless [...]
