Business Two Zero

I’m on LinkedIn, but I’ve never got round to putting much effort in to creating my profile. A few old colleagues have connected with me recently, and I started this week thinking that I needed to smarten the thing up. Yesterday I was browsing the blog of one of our new WordFrame partners - Des […]

Way back in October, that month’s London Wiki Wednesday on 3rd October  was hosted by the innovation consultancy ?What If!, in their rather funky, stylish meeting space called the Old Laundry.  This has a great atmosphere, rather like Skype’s Chill Out Lounge at their London HQ, with comfortable sofas and bookshelves full of books and […]

As David (Tebbo) has already related over on the CreativeCoffee Club site, Toby, David and I met up just before the first CCC meeting at the Star Café for a bite of breakfast, before we headed to Foyles Café.  Our chosen venue co-exists with Ray’s Jazz - that meant we got some cool bepop, and later […]

5 weeks ago at the London Wiki Wednesday held at BearingPoint I pre-announced the CreativeCoffee Club.  Toby Moores and I will be organizing it, in conjunction with De Montfort University, and the Institute of Creative Technologies.  It will be both a physical meetup, after the style of OpenCoffee Club, as well as a collective blog […]

I’m finally getting round to writing about the last London Wiki Wednesday, kindly hosted by Alek Lotoczko and NYK Line.  NYK Line is a Japanese shipping line, and it’s quite a stretch for their marketing department to use some of their budget for us.  They actually put on a really great spread of food, beer […]

I’ve posted several times about Jeff Han’s multi-touch screen holding the future of how we’ll be interacting with our PC’s and the Internet. The iPhone has a little of the multi-touch capability, but I’ve just seen something that might be even more impressive from a few months ago. This might be old news to some, […]

A few blog snippets:
The guys at Ning, which you can use to create your own social network on anything, have realised how important linking in to Facebook has become.  The’ve just released a new feature for Network Creators where you can add the ability for your members to promote videos, music, podcasts, and photos from […]

One of my favourite topics for discussion these days, which I’ve written about before, is the current state of the education system in the UK (and USA and the rest of the West).  These days I’m often raising it with people to gauge their reactions as part of the backdrop to the book that I’m […]

Guy Kawasaki has a very interesting post detailing the start up cost of his new baby - By the Numbers: How I built a Web 2.0, User-Generated Content, Citizen Journalism, Long-Tail, Social Media Site for $12,107.09.  This highlights how it is possible to finance a new media/new technology company on your credit card rather than […]

I wrote about Facebook taking over the world last week, when they made the platform announcement at their f8 conference. You know this kind of technology is becoming a real cultural phenomenon when you start to see references to it in places you wouldn’t expect. I opened my July copy of Empire magazine (which happens […]
