Feeding my Delicious habit

By Jonathan | Published: October 21, 2008
Today I saved my 5,000th link on Delicious. That means I’ve invested 13 hours and 45 minutes in Delicious, or thereabouts (I reckon using some fairly crude calculations on 10 seconds per save, allowing for some tag management and re-saves). I actually thought it would be more as this figure doesn’t seem that impressive, but [...]

Social Objects by Mr Social Object

By Jonathan | Published: March 19, 2008
Nice interview by Shel Israel with Hugh Macleod about social objects, social markers, social marketers, social marketing and other interesting stuff. Some old stuff covered but still really nice to see Hugh talking about it himself. (Hugh, you rock BTW) No embed (boo!), click through to watch at Fast Company.

Is Del.icio.us the rabbit for Yahoo!?

By Jonathan | Published: January 31, 2008
Having worked with Yahoo! at two agencies across pretty much all of its products (including Search with Ged as a client!), I was a bit sad to hear about the job cuts in the pipeline and read some of the more cutting articles that appeared after the financial results. A lot of people have pointed [...]

ESPN Score Center

By Jonathan | Published: December 4, 2007
Branded utility from ESPN coming in 2008. Like it. Give people stuff they want because it’s useful. [via] [UPDATED - I'd called it the wrong name in the title. Doh.]

Updated e-Book from Spannerworks

By Jonathan | Published: December 3, 2007
Updated version of What is social media? unleashed by Anthony over at Spannerworks. Nice to give away something for free, safe in the knowledge that it will help drive new business leads (and you can use bits under Creative Commons Copyright). And ironic given my previous post.

Great one from Hugh today re “the annoying buzzword social media”. Made me laugh out loud.

MyFootballClub gets green light

By Jonathan | Published: November 13, 2007
BBC is reporting that the website MyFootballClub, set up to buy a stake in Ebbsfleet United and help run it, has been given the go ahead and a deal struck. Great idea that I’m sure you’ve heard about already. This is surely the start of a lot more exciting things like this. Maybe we could [...]

The internet is sh*t?!

By Jonathan | Published: October 29, 2007
Well it’s not that bad really is it? But, I do think this is worth reading. Found via the good people at neoco, it might be old (really not sure) but definitely still makes you think. Was 1.0 the creation of it, 2.0 the realisation and quick-fix of it and 3.0 will be the creation [...]

Blinkx rugby wall

By Jonathan | Published: October 19, 2007
Amidst all the rugby fever and wax statues of JW appearing in Trafalgar square, Bite client Blinkx has created a special rugby wall which pulls in the latest commentary, pre-match interviews and random user generated rugby content. Looks great and I think that we’ll be seeing a lot more visually-led interfaces like this about town [...]

Hello, nice to meet you again

By Jonathan | Published: October 17, 2007
Wow. A bit of a radio silence there. Sorry about that. I blame the perfect storm of being hugely busy at work, being away at the weekends and having a lot of other stuff to do and on my mind. So, as by means of a bit of a catch up – here’s some stuff [...]
