Are Facebook users stupid?
Joanne Fraill, a hitherto unknown mother of three from Manchester, is going down in history as the first ever person to face criminal prosecution for the inappropriate use of the Internet during a Crown Court trial. If you haven’t caught up with the news, Ms Fraill used Facebook to contact …
Daily Mail
I’m a Page 3 boy today…! I’m quoted in today’s Daily Mail – I was in Italy when I got the call from the Daily Mail reporter in New York for a paper printed in London…! Anyway, the article is about Facebook Fatique.
Your website could be harmed by assumption
Oh what a to-do..! Peter Smedley died last night on British TV; it was the first ever broadcast of a suicide on our TV screens and it has caused a furore this morning. The BBC is facing harsh criticism and the programme’s public face, author Terry Pratchett, is being rushed …
Real People Magazine
Just been interviewed by Real People magazine for a feature on the strange things people buy and sell on eBay.
Prince Philip reminds us of the internet
Prince Philip, the Duke Of Edinburgh is 90 today – Happy Birthday old chap. In a much-publicised interview with the BBC’s Fiona Bruce he was brusque, pompous and downright rude. He won’t care I said that because, as he admitted in the interview he simply does not care what we …
Websites reveal more than you imagine
Ryan Giggs is back in the news…AGAIN…! He has he been accused of not being able to keep his trousers up, and it now transpires he has also spent £30,000 on trying to stop himself going bald (allegedly). Another day, another Ryan Giggs revelation; it looks like it won’t be …
You WILL love this blog post
Nick Clegg has a problem; according to academic research his party could lose a significant number of seats in the next general election. But as soon as you think of the Liberal Democrats or their leader, what colour comes to mind? Yes, you’re thinking of yellow aren’t you? Gosh; I’m …
One Magazine
I am in this month’s “One Magazine” – the international events industry publication – talking about whether or not you need more than one website. http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/mpi/oneplus_201105/index.php
Who is to blame for your website problems?
Is it national “blame another country week”? I woke up this morning to the news that Google was blaming China for an issue with Gmail. The day before we had the Germans blaming the Spanish for an E.coli food poisoning outbreak. And, following the allegations that the UK Border Agency …
Marketing staff reveal how little they understand about online marketing
Emma Watson, the film star you might know as Hermione Granger from Harry Potter fame, was pictured recently carrying a copy of the third volume of “Chicken Soup for the Soul“. Quite why a hugely successful, multi-million pound earning, much-praised individual needs “self-help” remains pure speculation of course. But it …
How to prevent Twitter from leading you to prison
Sepp Blatter is coming in for a lot of online stick today. The much-criticised President of FIFA appears to be somewhat oblivious to the highly vocal complaints that international football is in crisis. Allegations of corruption are flying around and on Twitter, for instance, you’ll find plenty of people willing …
How to find out if your website truly engages
Aah..let’s here the sympathy for poor Cheryl Cole…cruelly “sacked” from the American version of The X-Factor – apparently for her Geordie accent. It seems that in the pilot programmes no-one could understand her. But as the talk-radio presenter LaDona Harvey said on TalkSport yesterday, the chances of people from Newcastle …
Why Twitter has made a $40m mistake buying Tweetdeck
So, after all the rumours and speculation Twitter has bought Tweetdeck for a whopping $40m. Big mistake chaps. If you didn’t already know it, Tweetdeck is an application for managing social network information, in particular Twitter. On its own, Twitter is pretty much useless. The front page is of no …
Why Mark Zuckerberg is right about the under-13s
Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has caused a wave of controversy by saying that he wants to fight for the right of children under the age of 13 to use Facebook. At the moment it is illegal in the USA for social web companies to allow registrations of those under the …
