twitter is a platform not a news agency

SocialTech

I really wanted to comment on this article from Bluhalo about twitter “beating” news agencies, but sadly no commenting allowed? Can we please stop saying “twitter beats news agencies with x y z story” its nonsensical, twitter is a PLATFORM, news agencies are a business. The fact that it “beat” news agencies to report the [...]

ASA to govern online ads and social networking messages

SocialTech

From March 2011 the ASA remit will be extended to include online advertising, and more interestingly, social networking type messages: …Marketing communications in other non-paid-for space under their control, such as social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Generally I think it’s a good idea to have the same protections for consumers online as in [...]

a new work process and a wobbly site

SocialTech

We’ll be making some changes to socialtech.biz to make it our main site and to make SocialTech Solutions reflect the wider things we offer (inc. eBusinessMedia.tv)… we’re using a get-it-done method, rather than a get everything perfect and never get it done. Hopefully we’ll come out the other side with a shiny improved web presence…

But whether [...]

Roleplaying is Awesome

Dark Liquid

The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game I’m playing in is nuts. My character, Albrecht, started off as a lowly thug before slowly progressing into the career of an interrogator and from there into the careers of a physician. During his life he’s made dodgy deals, been tortured and hideously scarred as a result, caught disfiguring diseases [...]

SocialTech

Another cool business/tech/web event to tell you about: The UK Business Book Festival on Sept 10th I’m very honoured to of been asked to speak during the ignite session and get involved with the event in general… sadly, I’m out of the country on that day but that doesn’t stop me sharing it with you.
