How to stop a viral concept

An interesting article was put out last week in the New York Times by the lead guitarist and singer in the Band 'OK go'; Damian Kulash.

Subtext

Sometimes you enter a space in a building, and your first thought is – I’d love to live in a place like this.

I am working hard as always, in the last few days I have done an editorial shoot that will be seen across Glasgow! Not only on buses, trains and so on but in the press as well.

In addition to this I worked on a shoot with Mera Finlayson for her current salon, the premise of the shoot is advertising for the salon, so I am glad to have another one under my belt.

Revenge is moving along nicely. We will be reshooting the trailer over the coming weeks, all shoots will be at the… Continue

Guns for hire?

The Digital Inspiration report, published by The Scottish Digital Media Industry Advisory Group, outlines what it sees as a key challenge for the digital sector:

A new Website for Old Concerns

An article up today talks about the danger of posting too much personal information on the web. Members of the site FourSquare - for people to share their location - are putting up enough information to have their homes robbed; where they live, and when they aren't there.

The founder of a site that trawls FourSquare twitter feeds called; pleaserobme.com said;

"The website is not a tool for burglary. The point we're getting at is that not long ago it was questionable to share… Continue

Dave the Social Penguin

Maybe it's his glasses, or maybe it's just his tone of voice - this guy has something special - there are litterally thousands of people talking about social media, what to do, how to do it, what not to do, how not to do it - how brilliant they are, how brilliant David Plouffe is (Obama's man) - you get the picture.

Now here comes along Dave - we've…

Shadows

My name's been nicked...

Colin Firth stars as George Falconer, an English professor
domiciled in Los Angeles, 1962, who is mourning the recent death of his
lover in a car accident.

Thanks to sites such as 38 Minutes, my name came up first time everytime on Google etc. Now my name's been used for this latest movie, I've been swamped by Firth pix and quotes. Ho hum.

The NEW new Facebook..?

A great example of how less-experienced users interact with the web.

ReadWriteWeb published an article about changes afoot at Facebook, which included the words 'Facebook' and 'login' in the title. The unexpected side effect was that less web-savvy users - who search for "facebook login" when they want to, well, login to facebook… Continue
