We had this discussion the other day with Stavros Kontaksis (blog in Greek) - @stakon on Twitter – the fact that parties in government seem to be a lot less quick on the Social Media front.
I have blogged in the past about the differences between the two main parties in Greece. PASOK – then the [...]
After nagging endlessly about the abysmal search facility on twitter I can’t resist being very enthusiastic about Google Real Time Search.
Now, immediately after conducting a search, you can see live updates from people on popular sites like Twitter and FriendFeed, as well as headlines from news and blog posts published just seconds before. When they are relevant, [...]
Westminster at Sunset

I cannot find it in my heart to truly sympathise with Members of the UK Parliament (MPs) who might now hit a spot of bother with their twitter account – but I do understand how this might have happened.
You see we are about to go [...]
Anti-Social Media?
Uploaded by Intersection Consulting on 23 Apr 09, 6.48PM BST.
I don’t know why but as comms people we frequently get over-excited by the latest shiny thing. In that respect I think we are a little bit like academic researchers – go crazy over something and think it has an application absolutely everywhere.
These days it’s [...]

As always my interest revolves around political communications (public [...]
I recently heard from a newspaper man that Twitter is definitely a fad but one which cannot be ignored. It kind of reminded me the old Nielsen study (back in April) which was much touted as a ‘twitter is a fad’ research (even though it was nothing of the kind).
What experience has taught me so [...]

And now for something completely different: Two companies that actually helped me online and engaged with me and responded to me via social media.
You know how we all nag ALL THE TIME about companies who don’t get it? It’s difficult to count how many times I’ve read/ written blog posts [...]
