Life in Twitter Land – a collection of random tweets
Sep 10th
I seem to spend more and more time playing around with Twitter. Interstingly the Twitter experience keeps getting better and better as my number of followers increase. I just thought I would feature a few tweets that I either find interesting or that have made me chuckle…
I moaned about the ads on the new Facebook the other day and Iampennypops also agreed with me: they are very irritating and often badly targeted!
Google launched its own web-browser Chrome last week – despite a promising start and fairly good reviews, Chrome now seems to be going a little ‘loco’

Cool Twitter Tools
Aug 26th
Twitter is an awesome social media tool, terribly addictive yet so simple! There are dozens of Twitter tools around to spice your Twitter life up… I just thought I would share with you some of my fav tools and apps…
- Twitpic – if you are a Twirl user, you’ll be familiar with Twitpic…Twitpic lets you share photos via your Twitter stream. For those of you who got fed up with Twirl’s semi-permanent bugs, you can go to the Twitpic website and share your photos via the web.
- Twitterfeed – Twitterfeed is a cool little app that automatically updates your Twitter Feed with a link to More >

… The Fail Whale? This HAS to be the icon of 2008 In fact I just wanted to make sure I had a Fail Whale on my blog as Twitter’s service seems to be improving.
Saying that, Plurk’s timeline can be used a fantastic conversational tool…
Dinner, wine and Twitter!
Aug 22nd
As mentioned in my previous post, I was invited to my first Twitter Live Wine Tasting last night.
Our excellent host Robert McIntosh assisted by Andrew concocted a delicious 5-course meal worth a Michelin star! We were also given the opportunity to sample 5 Hugel & Fils white wines from the Alsace region:
- Gentil (aka Les Fleurs d’Alsace) 2006
- Pinot Blanc 2006
- Gewürztraminer 2005
- Riesling Jubilee 2004
- Gewürztraminer Vendage Tardive 2001
I prefer sweeter wines, and the Gewürztraminer 2005 was the winner in my eyes. I am now truly in love with Alsatian wines! I have included a short review of each wine on my Flickr stream, and we More >
1 question, 8 answers: the social media meme
Jul 1st
My blog friend C.B Whittemore recently tagged me in 8 more things, the social media meme with one question – what are 8 ways in which you’ve used social media?
1. My blog is my most important and exciting tool to date. I have not only met some wonderful people offline (Chris Brown, Reshma Anand, Organic Frog, Sandrine, Cedric, Steve, Annie Mole… apologies if I have forgotten anyone!) but blogging has also recently changed my life as I am just about to start my new role as a Social Media strategist.
2. Blogging has drastically changed my social media consumption – I created a web More >

I have just discovered that Plurk have now added a search feature allowing Plurkers to search for keywords in the Plurk-sphere. There is a little magnifying glass icon on the right hand-side corner of the timeline, click on it and you can search for whatever tickles your fancy!
I think the search engine represents a fantastic opportunity for brands [data mining] to see what people think about them, and could help with innovation, NPD or product improvements.
I also really liked the fact that Plurk seems to be available in different languages – this reminds me of the good old More >
