OK, here’s a bit of fun. The London Paper and Capital Radio who sponsor the London Licenced Buskers Scheme are having a data collection exercise Competition for your favourite Busker. I couldn’t possibly influence your choice of course, I simply lay the following information before you and let you make your mind up. First a…
I’ve been reflecting on some of the social media work I’ve done over the last year and seeing where I might improve my offering. The model piece of work that I’ve sold to people has gone as follows: “You tell me you want to have a go at this new fangled social media mularkey, but…
Unpacking that it’s a barcamp for people interested in the Web for UK Government – all of those terms are very widely defined. I’ve been in sessions so far about Managing Risk (war stories about how to get stuff done without getting fired or in a scrap with IT people), Communities of Practice (Steve Dale…
Our first little flashmob was quite a success in my view. It certainly showed me that there were people ready to turn up and talk about stuff. It also suggested to me that we need to follow a two-track approach for now. I’m going to continue to write (as and when I have the space…

It was a way of sharing and categorising your relationships with others in twitter based on who you follow, who follows you and the reciprocity between them. The other day, @deekdeekster twittered…
No, it’s not me. I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. Don’t know who it is or where they’re from. Don’t know which magazine it came from but Paul Birch presented it to me over lunch sometime last year and it’s good for a giggle.
Every morning when I scrape a blade across my face, I think “Today, I really must write about King of Shaves” It’s true, if a little disturbing. But for some reason I never quite get round to it, the thought disappears out of my head by the time I’ve left the bathroom. Sorry guys. My…
