May 31, 2007 in P-aaaaargh!, RFI, Work

One of the things this blog is for is to tell PR people and folks I know what I am working on.
This is the first such post.
I’m looking for creative uses of mobile phones that anyone (think your mum) might be interested in.
They might and up in a magazine.
Can’t tell you which one just [...]

Post Ten: An expression of relief, disappointment and sadness

May 31, 2007 in Computers, Vendors I have met, Work, social networking

Man … am I tired. Have been keeping so many balls in the air all day. Best of all, it seems they are still up there.
Google Developer Day was fun and an interesting lesson in expectation management.
Google is cool in ways older, meaner companies are not.
But they still don’t have the guts or inclination to [...]

Welll … here I am at Google Developer Day in Sydney. And can I access Google on the WLAN here?
Just.
It

And my plan to work here all day using web applications will not be possible, I suspect.

Post Seven: A lamentation on PR

Jackson Wells Morris generally get it and their blog proves it.
Except when they find reasons to blog about their clients, which I feel kind of sullies them a bit.

May 30, 2007 in Computers, Globalism, P-aaaaargh!, social networking

Not sure I like ‘Work’ featuring so prominently, so have created this post to self-spam.

Post Five: In which I become part of a global economic phenomenon

May 30, 2007 in Globalism, Work

An old colleague from the UK PR firm I work for just mailed.
Long story short – they want to offshore some work to me!
Better brush up on my English accent.

Post Three: In which we wonder about social networks

May 30, 2007 in social networking

I am now a member of Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Technorati.
When will someone start to aggregate them all?
More to the point, what are they for?
I already have the email address of everyone I know in Facebook. A week after we got over the novelty of all being members, our level of interactivity returned to [...]

Post Two: In which we solicit comment for a story about printers

May 30, 2007 in Work

Printers. Everyone’s got ‘em, hardly anyone uses them smart.
I want to explain how to use them smart for My Business.
I think SME readers have no idea how to use their printers for document management, workflow or cunning things like creating custom labels they can use in retail.
Anyone got any other printer applications or ideas?
