Adventures in Twitterland… (bring back the link love)
TweetFunny things often happen in Twitterland… Today’s randomness definitely got me LOLing away behind my screen…
Back in the old days, bloggers used to link back to one another other as a sign of appreciation, and an effective way of sharing content. Linking back also helped increase our Page Rank and Technorati authority; we (bloggers) call this the Link Love. With conversations now moving to Twitter, linking back to other bloggers is sadly a behaviour in decline…
In an attempt to help my friends with their Page Rank, I’d like to introduce you to my blogging buddies Nicolas the Frenchie (who’s going to kill me for calling him Frenchie 
), pun-extraordinaire Hayley, Italiano vero Matteo and last but certainly not least, Gavin Heaton of Servant of Chaos fame who inspired me to write this post!
As always thanks for reading

During my recent trip to NYC, I couldn’t help but notice how much more mainstream Social Media is in the USA. As Adam pointed out in his recent 10 Foursquare secrets worth making public post, Foursquare [and other services] is much advanced than it is in London. Here are a few interesting things I spotted
A brand engaged with me the other day…
about 4 months ago - 2 comments
As a consumer, I recommend and even occasionally express my discontent about brands via Twitter or my blog. As a social media pro, I spend most of my days managing online presences for other brands, engaging with both fans and detractors. And the other day, for the first in absolutely ages, a brand engaged with
Fred Perry wants your story

My friend Matteo recently spotted an interesting Fred Perry social media campaign and being a huge fan of the brand, asked me if he could do a guest post about this initiative on my blog. We’re still in the middle of #bemyguest (check out my blog swap buddy, Michelle Chmielewski’s vlog right here), so I

It’s been a little quiet on here over the past week or so… I am not entirely sure whether it’s writer’s block, lack of time (perhaps inspiration), or maybe all of the above. I can’t even be asked to Tweet! I’ll be back for sure when I have something good to share… And oh, tips

I had a bit of an epic journey attempting to travel back to Lyon for the festive season today. I missed my 5AM train to Gatwick, jumped on a taxi and arrived at the airport only to be informed that my Easyjet flight was delayed. Armed with a good book and a very large cup
Should bloggers get paid to write blog posts?
about 9 months ago - 29 comments
3-4 PR pitches land in my inbox each week; I don’t mind being pitched and will happily write about brands and products provided the content is relevant to my blog. An agency recently offered me €70 to write about their latest social media campaign; this made feel somewhat uncomfortable as I don’t think that bloggers
The Socialisation of TV Advertising

TV is becoming increasingly social. As Neil points out, Twitter went into complete overdrive over the X-Factor last Sunday following Lucie Jones’ shock eviction, with 8 out of the top 10 Twitter trending topics being X-Factor related*. I got rid of my TV when I moved in my flat last year; my flat is on

True. Conversations moved to Twitter or other platforms. This is, to me, because of the availability of the different platforms themselves. Some years ago, you had a blog, people got in touch with you. Now you have your pics on Picasa, Flickr, Photobox, your videos on YouTube and Vimeo, you chat with people on Twitter, Facebook… The list can go on forever. There are certain things that try to keep this a little bit under control: disqus (or other commenting systems) for example, but also FriendFeed (particularly popular in Italy apparently) are all trying to concentrate what we deliberately fragmented. At the end of the day, blogs “suffer” because of this.
