  • Andrew Keen, Cynthia Mckinney and Jeff Blankfort

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteI recently dropped by the Frontline club to listen to what Andrew Keen had to say and his talk was really interesting.

  • MTV and international oversight

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen the VMA are advertised everywhere and where there is easy access to information about everything that is going on around the world MTV appears short sighted.

  • The podcasting demographic

    Reading Time: 4 minutesWhilst listening to a conversation between several podcasters in their debriefing they were asking the question of how to involve a different demographic in the process of podcasting. This is an interesting question. As one participant pointed out the demographic seems to be for white males over 30 years of age to…

  • PodcampUK – Part 1 of the debrief

    Reading Time: 3 minutesThere are many podcamps but Podcampuk was my podcamp. This was an event which was similar to just one previous experience. It was an event where everyone you talked to had at least one website and others may have had several. They also used twitter and prepared radio programs. What is great…
