A veritable smorgasbord of digital delights

31, Dec 2009

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!

The art of presentation

4, Dec 2009

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 [...]

With neither rhyme nor reason

7, Aug 2009

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!

3, Jul 2009

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 [...]

Real-time information sharing in action

26, Jun 2009

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.
Odds on [...]

Domino’s debacle postscript – all publicity is good publicity

21, Apr 2009

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.
The clip was posted on April 15 to You tube. Over the day, views on You Tube increased as follows (all CET):
• 562,627 [...]

the price of fame

17, Apr 2009

It’s been a week of surprises; both on the populist culture front and on the business front. First, we saw Susan Boyle shoot to instant stardom, courtesy of a breathtaking performance of ‘I dream a dream’ from Les Mis on Britain’s Got Talent, which was immediately uploaded to YouTube and has already attracted over 17.5 [...]

And now, the end is near

31, Mar 2009

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 [...]

Crowdsourcing: simply a neologism or a true societal shift?

18, Mar 2009

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 [...]

Seeing red

13, Mar 2009

For those of you who haven’t noticed, today’s happens to be Red Nose Day. Whilst Red Nose Day represents a chance for the less inhibited of us to do something extroverted in the name of charity, it got me to thinking about how the web has really helped advance the cause of charities by simplifying [...]
