Technology for marketing & advertising – the event.
As a student, attending one of these events may seem a little daft, but with the promise of sessions discussing topics such as content strategy, SEO, website design and usability, and the use of analytics and social media metrics how could I afford to miss it?
Murder, she wrote..
Stef was nagging me about my salt and butter intake due to the fact being a CFS sufferer apparently has me in the ‘high risk’ category for heart problems, he then made a joke about how nobody would notice if I carked it so long as he continued to tweet and facebook in my place [...]
The truth about online social media
Having a blog or a twitter account or even an openly searchable facebook account leaves you at a social disadvantage offline.
Like Social networking? Want to meet Kylie Minogue?
In best meercat voice: SIMPLES! All you need to do is become a student and sign up to social networking site Studyvox.co.uk.
Nothing of interest, just me being me.
I should be writing a follow up about my experience at #mcl3, or completing any one of the numerous draft posts I have lined up in the blog back room..
A little less than Zen
I try to be a good person, truly I do but maybe I’m going against human nature and that’s why I have to work so hard at it.
#Twitter (again)
I was asked today to come back to the college in June (after exams etc) to give a presentation on twitter and other social media applications, this has made me go back to thinking about what is so great about twitter – why do I and others enthuse about it so much?
#MCL2 – the write up.
I know, it’s taken me quite a while but to be fair I’ve been snowed under with work between now and then..
Blended learning
On top of my coursework I’ve joined the University Cable 3.0 project team, we’re trying to organise collaborative online learning between members of the 4 consortium colleges studying on the Foundation Degree Business and Computing Programme.
What’s in a name?
I’ve been dipping in and out of the blog and social media ‘scenes’ for a while, I *know* all about how I should be optimising my website for search engines and keeping my posts organised, concise and FOCUSED – but I am not a brand, I am not a company, I am a jewellery making, [...]
MediaCamp London #2
In July I went along to an event organised by some folks I’ve come to know through using various online social media. As a direct result of that I have been offered work (paid) and participation in several interesting sounding projects (paid and unpaid) which, sadly, I’ve been unable to take up because of this [...]
Social media mafia – Mediacamp London
I’m not able to speak for everyone else who attended but as far as my first social media event goes, what an absolute corker! The discussions were stimulating and the topics interesting, I’m just sorry that I couldn’t get into all of the sessions but the building was just too hot for me to risk [...]
Tutorom is the place to learn online.
For video or flash tutorials Tutorom really is the place to be. I found this while catching up on my feeds over at Cybernirvana it’s proof positive of why I keep Zia at the top of my info list *grin*
Can our social skills be hurt or helped by what we do online?
I saw this posted in the comments of a blog post by Mediajoltz and it got me to thinking.
The internet as a means of exclusion

Net perceptions
I had an almost argument with my Gran the other day, it’s one we’ve had before because it’s a subject on which we both have strong and opposing views.
A little less conversation..
I saw on this mornings news that we apparently lose at least one friend a year. This means I must have been really careless along the way because I’ve lost far more than that over the last 4 years.. Meh, this move should rectify that little oversight.
Who do you follow and why do you do it?
I’ve spent most of the evening writing and re-writing a question on twitter over at the socialset blog and this post is kind of an addendum to it..
Social networking and web 2.0
You know, I’ve never ‘got’ the whole ‘web 2.0′ thing. I know there’s a big hue and cry about it, anyone who’s anyone in the net media seems to be throwing out kudos here and opinions there about it but really, it’s just another buzzword. It doesn’t mean a damned thing – if it did [...]
RSS feeds
As most of you know I had this blog over at blogger originally, I remember when RSS feeds were the new shiny thing to come out and everyone was talking about ‘em. At that time though, I didn’t pay much attention because I just didn’t ‘get’ what they were or what was so good about [...]
Random link love
Twitter is better than any of the social networking sites for finding like minded people to ‘talk’ to, it’s even good for finding random strangers to follow just for the sake of procrastination, The only problem is.. You then start ‘talking’ to those random strangers and develop a relationship of sorts. As an example, when [...]
The masks we wear
It’s odd isn’t it, that we can appear one way to to a vast majority of people online and yet somehow, should we meet those people, the way we appear is almost totally at odds with that former representation.
Blogging is definitely the new sex.
You see, my previous post was just a fly by thought, since then a few more things have occurred to me that tend to confirm that thought as a valid one.
Is blogging the new sex?
Seriously, that thought just raced across my mind as I was looking around for new things to put on my blog. (you know, toys as opposed to content – I’m selfish like that)
Facebook and SingSnap
..The latest things to keep me occupied online. Facebook is probably something most of you already know about (and if so, why have you not invited me into your network *shakes head in disgust*) it’s a social network site but it certainly beats faceparty/ facepic/ lookitsme and the like hands down. It has the option [...]
The internet, it’s not just for porn anymore.
That post title cracks me up – totally ripped off from Master K but I’m sure he won’t mind.. You don’t right? You love me, right? ..Right?
Twitterati
I really need my mind to kick into fully functioning mode so I can update wordpress, add all the little widgets I’ve had my eye on – and more importantly.. Get my twitterbox up and running. I can’t believe I’m admitting this but I think I’m hooked on twitter. It’s just random people spouting random [...]
blogging – the effect
Hmmm… I started writing this blog because it seemed like a cool thing to do – I like writing but I’m not a writer so a blog suits me quite well. But over the last few months I feel as though I’ve become part of a community, a small one sure – but a community [...]
