Westminster at Sunset
Uploaded by DMoutray on 29 Dec 08, 2.34PM GMT.
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 [...]
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.

On the day the Mumbai terrorist attacks were unfolding I was sitting at my desk at home, trawling through my RSS feeds. I was drinking some coffee and I was reading blog posts somewhat idly.
The first news of the events reached me via Twitter. Asteris was updating on what was going on and I started following #Mumbai as [...]
The amount of people that don’t have twitter access from work never ceases to amaze me. Others have already written why you should have twitter access so I don’t want to bore you by repeating what others have eloquently expressed already. Suffice it to say, I am assuming you know what twitter is and why [...]
