Blogging FAIL

By Jonathan | Published: September 28, 2008
One of the top rules of blogging: never delete posted content, just update it. Jason Calcanis has dropped a clanger with his predictions that “50-80% of the venture-backed startups currently operating will shut down or go on life-support (i.e. 3-4 folks working on them) within the next 18 months” and to make matters worse – [...]

World of iPod: A tale of love (from Microsoft?!)

By Jonathan | Published: September 24, 2008
Cheeky little video this morning. Such a simple idea that a brand could have done. But it didn’t. Paul Tosolini did it. And Paul is New Media Business Manager at Microsoft, which is pretty funny given the amount of Apple kit he clearly has (and loves). [via Lloyd on Twitter, via Chris Brogan]

Some thoughts on GPS, AR, magic and the technology adoption curve

By Jonathan | Published: September 23, 2008
[Image from tdub303 on Flickr - he uses these to make super cool photos] Where have I been? What have I been doing? What have I been thinking about? Everywhere. Lots of things. Even more stuff. You could say I’ve had a bit of a blogging dry patch and you’d be right. I’ve been sharing loads [...]

Wow. This is pretty cool. Exciting and a bit scary – high “more adverts shouting at us from more places” potential. [via Engadget so you;ve probably already seen it – and actually originally a guy at Poke called Will)

Home automation in the UK – frustrating

By Jonathan | Published: September 8, 2008
I spent a good chunk of Saturday evening (yes, I *am* approaching 30) looking for a solution to something I’ve been researching for absolutely ages.

Cringey Microsoft marketing moment

By Jonathan | Published: September 2, 2008
This is unbelievable. So, so cringey – I keep thinking it’s an ironic viral thing. There is so much wrong with this video. “Ease, accessibility and fashion” ? Sorry guys but there’s talking about it and then there’s actually doing it. Trying way too hard. [via Ars Technica which quite rightly asks if Microsoft [...]

Rise of the micro-agency continues

By Jonathan | Published: September 1, 2008
Today Stephen Davies (aka PRblogger.com) joins the growing list of former agency digital PR peeps to launch their own specialist agencies/consultancies with new venture 3WPR.

Live Hurricane Gustav streams

By Jonathan | Published: September 1, 2008
UPDATE: I’ve taken the embedded players down – they automatically play and are a little annoying when you;re not actually looking at this post. Just follow the link to Ustream to check out the (now not live) feeds. Wow. This sent shivers up my spine. Live streams of Hurricane Gustav. You can hear news reports [...]
