This post is being published in Marketing Magazine’s 2009 Media Guide. I’m not sure when or if MM are publishing it online.
Over the years, I’ve probably dedicated somewhere in the low-mid six figures in words to the subjects that interest me:
user experience
social media
web strategy
knowledge work and the people that do it
Most of that writing has [...]

Today I spoke at Social Media: A Recruitment Revolution, where I debated (kind of) Seek’s Jake Andrew on the subject Do you need a job board when you have social networking? The text below is the argument I put for my case (more or less).
The big news media. The music industry. Recruitment agencies. Job boards. [...]

I’m sure many of you will have seen the video above (from the smart folks at Socialnomics). I like it a lot.
But you know what? We’re too focused on the revolution and not on the revolutionaries.
The hype is a fad. Especially the marketing hype. We’re (well, a lot of us, anyway) all still excited about [...]

During Twitter’s #blogchat today, Mack Collier dropped the following idea in:
There’s a good post for someone, a post on what IS a good comment & where the ’spam’ line is & how to cross it in comments #blogchat
Given I’m the sort that keeps this sort of idea floating around in my head for just such [...]

While I’m behind on the main session posts as I type this (three sessions behind now…), this is worth highlighting.
One of the unique things (and there are many) about TED@PalmSprings is the opportunity for audience members to get on stage and share their ideas worth spreading.
This morning, a bunch of us did just that. And [...]

Social media is a strange thing, particularly when it comes to the notion of memes, those little outward-reaching, super-powered thoughts that pervade our online life. Just look at Ken Lee, Matt, the Dancing Guy, or Numa Numa, or the Star Wars Kid…
Hell, look at them all!
As with all memes, sometimes, something gets a little out [...]

Many readers here will be aware that I’m a fan of the notion of social capital, or as my friend, Tara Hunt puts it, whuffie (borrowing from Cory Doctorow’s Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom). Well, last week, I received a deck of Akoha cards. Akoha is a real life game based [...]

Laurel’s pressured me and now Lee has too! What is it with you people?
There are a number of triggers, I guess, that will get me to make those particular mouse clicks and keyboard strokes. I’ve never really thought about them clearly before now. Like Laurel and Lee, I’m pretty much on a theme here. There [...]

EDIT: My colleague and social network expert, Laurel Papworth, has published her own response.
My friend, Cheryl Gledhill, from molt:n has alerted me to another big business – National Australia Bank and their new UBank brand – who apparently hasn’t talked to a social media/social networking/communications specialist. Or at least one of the ones who will [...]

In the past few days, I’ve seen, or heard of, first efforts from a couple of major Australian ISPs engaging with their communities on Twitter. Unfortunately, it looks like the lawyers got way too involved in the process for the Big Pond Team.
The responses on the account are full of noncommital, anonymous, boilerplate text. It’s [...]

We're based in Canberra, Australia and travel a little too often.
