New 38minutes groups needing creators

So why change the 38minutes groups?

Since the site launched and over 3000 folks have joined up there has been the ability to create a group at will. Over time many groups were duplicated or were left with just a single blog post and many were also created as a company page which defeats the point of the network as companies can be created as members.

The ‘wanted’ group has been a great success for its targeted ability to look for and find jobs, both full time…

LinkLove: what's your favourite website?

STREAM 7: HAS 38 MINUTES HAD ITS DAY?

I had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely Anne Bonnar, a key player in Scotland's arts, culture and creative industries, last week. You can listen to parts of our chat below.

An interesting tangent arose, however, in part inspired by the entrance to the 'coffin workshop' in the basement of the Zoo Roxy (see the Lynchian surroundings in the video below) where we met. After a bit of animated discussion, Anne posed the question… Continue

A Digital Strategy for Arts and Culture in Scotland - update.

On the legal Birthday of Creative Scotland I proposed the creation of a web 2.0 platform available to all arts and culture performances in Scotland - providing the basis for comprehensive listings and ticketing for anyone anywhere. As a counterpart, individuals participate in a similar web 2.0 set up. For me the interesting bit is not the listings nor the ticketing, as these are relatively easy to understand and overdue. The key point is the… Continue

The Scheme - Raging Debate on BBC Scotland Documentary Series

I vented my views on this despicable programme on facebook last night and received a mixed reaction. Some people simply like car crash TV where people, usually lowly educated, are set up for ridicule.

This programme excels. In the sucking department.

It”s yicky.

And(seemingly) now it has gone.

I watched Newsnight tonight, aghast, as Stuart [sic] Cosgrove defended this vile pish.

Pat Kane, on the other hand, smelt (smelled?) the… Continue

Ofcom report underscores vision for DMQ

The vision for Scotland’s Digital Media Quarter was put into sharp focus today (6 August 2009) in the shape of Ofcom’s sixth Communications Market Report, which reported some interesting insights into consumer behaviour around watching TV, using mobile phones and surfing the net.

According to the report, about half of the British public would give up eating out, holidays and DIY (which I get) than do without TV, a mobile and the Internet. I suspect the other half would then take full… Continue

Asking yourself the "what happens if..." questions

Rick Segal came to Scotland a few years ago and spent some time (along with Shel Israel) researching who was doing what with social media. He has been a programmer and VC, and is one of the most incisive questioners I've had the privilege to know, cutting to the chase and asking about the things you hoped would just sort of, well, pan out in the… Continue

Entrepreneurialism in Northern Ireland in One Post and Thirty Three Comments

Matt Johnston, facilitator of Northern Ireland's Digital Circle, kicked off a debate that few have managed to commit to paper or screen until now: why are there relatively speaking so few independent and successful new media companies in Northern Ireland? Is there an inherent lack of entrepreneurialism? Is entrepreneurialism frowned upon? Is it… Continue

Glasgow Twestival - The Living Room - Sept 10th 2009

When the opportunity to organise Glasgow Twestival Local came up I ~~nobly~~ foolishly volunteered. A couple of weeks on we have a motley crew of tweegies with expertise in event management, social media, PR, marketing, sound & video and much more, all ready to make this event something special.

Clearly Twestival wouldn't exist without twitter but it goes far beyond the ludicrous name. By mobilising the twitter community worldwide the last… Continue
