Search & Social: the new navigation and the advertising dilemma

Well, well, well – I never thought I’d live to see the day! And it truly is a momentous day. Twitter results will appear in both Google’s and Microsoft’s search engine results pages!! I have to pinch myself. What a convergence. I mean I know we saw this coming, but how on earth can any [...]

Old School Mix Tapes #1

Live traffic information (courtesy of Google)

This is a bit of a melon twister! Google’s own great blog has an article on it that (the equally great) ReadWriteWeb blog has picked up, about the lastest use of anonymised GPS data. Google’s amazing ability to crunch vast quantities of data is proving more useful than even the ‘real time web’. In this [...]

Digital Marketing Made Simple

The below deck is the final presentation that I made while working as a Knowledge Manager at iCrossing. Rather pompously entitled ‘Digital Marketing Made Simple’ it’s a rather complex looking Prezi presentation, incorporating everything I’d learned in my 9 years at the company! I stumbled across it and thought I should stick it on the [...]

Video: Fresh Egg show reel from the Magic Circle

No idea why I haven’t already posted this on my blog! This was the proud day that I got to stand up in front of 125 destinguished delegates and speak with James Caan on Internet Marketing in a Recession. It really was as good a day as it looked. Here’s to the next one Video [...]

The Trafigura effect – vive la resistance!

I’m writing this still reeling from my Twitter experience this morning! (geek) Flicking, as I usually do, between work and Tweetdeck (keeping in touch with the back channel) I started picking up on the #trafigura hash tag which had started trending. Things started moving more quickly and I noticed several people I’m following mentioning it. [...]

Massive bosons blew my unit

I’d forgotten about this article until I saw a photo of Chris Morris in front of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and thought I’d dig the hole article out as a tribute to the madness of what has just happened in the media with the arrest of an alleged Al Qaeda member actually working [...]

More amazing tilt shift video

Tilt shift is an amazing post production technique applied generally to long term, fixed camera video, that makes the whole scene look like a model, or miniature world. Here’s Wikipedia’s definition: “Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt forselective focus, [...]

Al Qaeda’s latest weapon of mass destruction – black holes

OK, so it’s rediculous, but nevertheless predictable to the paranoid west. Here’s what the Times had to say today Al-Qaeda – in a bit of a hole again I’m greatly relieved at the news from the Cern institute in Switzerland, where it emerges that their Large Hadron Collider is being run by Al-Qaeda. When the [...]

Has the world gone mad?

I’m used to satire. I love it. Sometimes I don’t have the time for it, and sometimes I can be duped by it, but when it’s so blatantly obvious, and so completely misunderstood I do wonder whether the world has gone mad! Take the issue that cropped up yesterday with the Onion publishing a spoof [...]
