Some stream of consciousness thinking here about the opportunities that may (or may not) have opened up with Twitter lists.
I look after the open university twitter account and today put out a tweet asking followers what lists they wanted creating / or wanted to join. I got a massive response and although the majority [...]
Yesterday was a happy day; I was one of a lucky 100,000 to get an invite to try out Google Wave. Seeing as I’ve given over almost every aspect of my life to Google I suppose this is probably the least they could do in return!
So, what’s it like? Well I suppose the [...]
I’ve long been a fan of services such as Scribd and Docstoc which allow people to share their (or in some cases, other peoples’!) material and enable a whole load of those lovely web2 features that we’ve become so used to that we expect to be almost everywhere.
Obviously given my overwhelming enthusiasm to give my [...]
Great title huh? You can take the boy out of SEO…etc etc
So, it’s been pretty much radio silence from me over the past few months – essentially I suppose because my role has changed a little and I’m involved in more long term projects than quick win ones.

Twitter is obviously one of the big online success stories of the past couple of years. Driving to work I’ve even heard Radio 4 talking about it, and various BBC 5 live ‘phone ins’ now actively ask people to tweet them messages. Seems like it’s becoming a recognised channel of communication.

I’ve been meaning to blog about Wordia for ages; firstly cos it’s the brainchild of a good mate of mine and I want to see it succeed, and secondly because I think it’s a great idea!
So, essentially Wordia is an online visual dictionary except that in true read/write web style it’s democratised: Anyone can create [...]
For the last 9 months (ok that’s a complete guess; let’s just say for a while) I’ve been the cold dead hand guiding the ou’s twitter account @openuniversity. Historically this account has pulled in OU news feeds via Twitterfeed and has tweeted OU / BBC co-productions about an hour before they are due to be [...]
For the past year or so I have use Gmail as my email client for work and personal email (in fact I’ve moved away from Outlook completely, and only use Office when I have to share documents with colleagues who don’t use Gdocs). I like to think that had my setup pretty well configured, so [...]
