Image via CrunchBase My six weeks of twitter is happening and I’m firmly ensconced in my twitter life. I’ve been looking for people I know, modifying my twitter page (that picture is a bunny chow by the way), and reading furiously about it.two quick observations;1) people cleverer than me are really raving about twitter. Jason […]
My sister’s book is being launched in the US in May (buy it). We were discussing innovative methods of marketing her book (mostly online). It is a fairly nascent industry, but there are a few people writing some interesting stuff. One of the things about her book is that it’s set in Durban South Africa, […]
I just received a beta invite for daytum to increase the amount of microblogging that I can do. Basically what it is a graphical representation (smooth lines and nice pie charts) of things that you do with your day. You add a specific category (e.g. breakfast, albums listened to, smiles you received during the day) […]

Image via WikipediaHowsociable is a nice resource, which gives you an overview of your presence within the “social sphere”. It is another version of the tools that I talked about here. You set up your brand/terms that you want to track and it then updates you with an e-mail giving you what the chatter has […]
In the nascent area of social media its kind of a minefield as to how best to navigate. We’re using the tool of a company called attention to monitor what people are saying about us, as well as their guidance in how best to find our way through it. However that’s not the only tool, […]
I get a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye when I see people working together on the internet to make a change. I’m not sure if that’s some kind of hippy notion (I do have a beard) ,a joy in the power of the internet or a desire to become a […]
two new developments, both of them pretty interesting;1. widgets are now classified/ranked in terms of engagement rather than simply installation. This makes a lot of sense to me, with all the application spam people get, it’s difficult to cut through to what people are actually using and what are the most useful applications. This should […]
