Groundswell (recommended)

By Jonathan | Published: July 31, 2008
Hi there. I think I forgot to say on here, but did on Twitter – I’ve been mostly offline over the past few days and am about to go on holiday – hence the abnormal quietness on the blog front. So this isn’t just a brief announcement, I’d like to join in the groundswell and [...]

Facing the reality of PR perception on the web: Revisited

By Jonathan | Published: July 22, 2008
Yesterday I spoke to Anthony about PR FAIL and again, it made me ask myself if I was being too harsh with this post and setting up PR FAIL. I thought about it for a while and then decided, nope, I’m not – I’m just trying to make it easier for people to face up [...]

3G Airport Express?

By Jonathan | Published: July 15, 2008
Just a thought, but what if you could plug in your 3G USB dongle (Mine’s a Vodafone Pebble thingy) into an Apple Airport Express? Would be very useful indeed. Maybe you can do it already?! (Surely it’s all in the software, though I’m sure there is a really obvious reason why it couldn’t happen) That also [...]

By Jonathan | Published: July 8, 2008
This (from Will) just tickled me. An alternative to those logo-fests at the beginning of your next presentation perhaps? If I was a super fast moving cunning brand I’d quickly build an app that lets people upload their own profile pictures into it and re-save with their own face on the Tron Guy body. Here’s [...]
