  • Video Insider

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve seen a lot of people create link posts where there’s no comment just links and these are not effective. They’re not effective because they require the audience to click through and read the entire post to see what you thought was of interest. Instead I’m going to choose key paragraphs and…

  • Twitter desaturation

    Reading Time: 2 minutesDue to the quantity of people using twitter it’s purpose has changed. From being a place where you tell people what you’re up to it’s become a place where you discuss what you’re up to and what you’re thinking about.

  • Likemind Coffee morning in London

It’s 58 minutes long and covers some interesting points but that’s not what I’m going to write about. For me what was interesting was seeing who was present. For a start I…

  • The Macbook Air

These are great features but the device is so incredibly limited…

  • The Francofous Seesmic Skype call

The first one is the Racoon avatar, the second is that they refer to each other as the Francofous, the crazy french. Last night…

I want to see Blog Wars which could be quite interesting. “Blog Wars provides a sharp and funny look at the explosion of political blogs, which have become the loudspeakers for a new…
