Trip to the 'Dam

This week I’m off to IBC in Amsterdam with Shiny Red Client Aprico. My background is entrenched in the digital video world and after a year of working in my current role, it’s actually a nice and refreshing change to get back into the TV field. However, the worlds of web and TV have been [...]

Blog action day campaign launch

Last year, I wrote this post on the Shiny Red blog about Blog Action Day, an initiative that looks to harness the wider voice of the blogosphere to raise awareness about one particular issue. Last year it was the environment. This year, they’ve started the campaign to recruit bloggers already and will be looking to [...]

It's the taking part that counts…

This week I popped along to the Summer London Blogger Meetup. In terms of numbers and meeting new folk it was the best yet. I still think that short presentations or even a 20-minute debate style showcase add some niceness and interest to the whole shebang, but this week’s was purely social and that’s fine by me. [...]

My so-connected life

Back in May 2006, my life was consumed by one of the most exciting projects I’ve had the pleasure to work on -  The UK launch of the Slingbox. It was brought to market in time for the World Cup (just), and the reactions we got from a media point of view were almost exclusively [...]

Social Media – it's about us…

Social Media – it's about us…

I first cut my teeth in the blogging world back in 2006 during a stint volunteering in the Dominican Republic. I was teaching English at a school, and the placement was done through an organisation called I-to-I. Since my trip, the site has gone all Web 2.0 with bookmarks, blogs and even a social networking [...]

Blogger arrests triple in '07 – watch your back folks

Over time, blogs have been seen and portrayed as a disruptive publishing technology, a medium for the independent voice, a platform for the little-guy, a tool that enables freedom of expression.
But today’s shock-blogging story emanates from research from the University of Washington which reports that 36 bloggers were arrested in 2007 around the world – [...]

Our survey says…

Ah surveys, one of the oldest weapons in the PR arsenal. And the media love them too – if you can find a headline to tickle their fancy. After a quick search, I’ve found out that 19% of millionaires don’t feel wealthy, 8% of drivers have had an accident on the school-run and that Germans [...]

DM: We broke your email. [Exit, pursued by a bear]

I’ve blogged elsewhere about the bad taste that email is leaving in our collective mouths, so I find it odd that Brand Republic is conceding so easily the news that 150bn emails are deleted without being read every year.
Yes spam emails are better for the environment than direct marketing (DM), and there are more laborious [...]

Hide 'n seek; web 2.0's killer app?

Rumours abound that several ex-Google employees are working on a social search service dubbed the mechanical zoo. With the explosion of social content hitting the web in the form of microblogging, photosharing, and mass communication through social networks, one significant challenge has been tracking the conversations taking place on these platforms.
While siloed search engines have [...]
