Back to school for PRs

Back to school for PRs

So the “back to school” adverts are running on the TV. The ones that made you feel a bit sick as a kid, since they started showing up  at least three weeks before terms starts. It’s funny how old habits die hard, and September always feels like its the start of a new term at [...]

Chris Anderson on the future of media

Over a year ago, Chris Anderson, Editor of Wired magazine wrote a feature on why “free” is the future of business. He stated that “The rise of “freeconomics” is being driven by the underlying technologies that power the Web. Just as Moore’s law dictates that a unit of processing power halves in price every 18 months, [...]

No Twit Sherlock

No Twit Sherlock

So this story seems to be generating a bit of buzz. Morgan Stanley have published a “research note” written by a 15 year old intern which suggests that teenagers don’t want to pay for things, don’t like reading, download music illegally, find online advertising pointless and… shock horror – don’t use Twitter.
Apparently, it’s gone down [...]

New and improved

So it had to be done – having a blog is one thing, but I’ve been hugely late at getting it onto my own domain. So I decided to finally make the move and register lewiswebb.com as my own little home on the internetz. It’s not the finished article at the moment, there are some [...]

Interview; Folu Babatola, Macmillan Cancer

The recent Shoreditch Twitnic saw an attendance of about 25 folk who braved the overcast skies of N1 to congregate in Shoreditch Park and have a lot of food and fun for Macmillan Cancer Support. The event raised just over £100 for the charity thanks to free food from Somerfield. As a follow up, I’ve [...]

Why I didn't like the Absolut Kindness campaign

Why I didn't like the Absolut Kindness campaign

Call me a humbug or a killjoy, but I have to say that my reaction to the Absolut Kindness campaign (A week,  where kind gestures earn free stuff for people giving them) was one of deep cynicism. This reaction has nothing to do with the product, which I have no problem ordering, or the people running [...]

Happy birthday to my blog

Happy birthday to my blog

About a year ago, I started writing this blog (first post here) and I’ve enjoyed it… mostly. Aside from the continual pressure I feel to write something interesting and new, it’s been a nice little outlet for things that catch my eye. I do try not to just exacerbate the social media echo chamber that can [...]

TV and the Web – again.

TV and the Web – again.

A few months ago I wrote a piece about internet content making its way to the TV screen. Not in a Windows Media Center kind of way, but a way that is done from the point of view of the  television industry. It’s now time for the other big event of the braodcasting calendar, NAB in [...]

A spike on my blog

A spike on my blog

Saw this tweet from James Whatley and decided I needed to get writing since it’s been a while. There are a couple of posts I want to write but haven’t had time recently, so until I get round to it,  here’s a massive spike on my blog.

Lewis' guide to 'G's and 'We's

Yesterday I received an email from Carrie Bishop who is working with G20 Voice to organise a post-G20 Summit get together at Bar Kick, former Shoreditch Twit venue. It’s called G20 meets We20, at which point you might be feeling lost so here’s a quick explanation…

G20 – Group of Twenty (G-20) Finance Ministers and Central [...]
