It’s never been easier to engage, so if people don’t…

… then we’re all going to hell in a hand cart. Probably. A bit. Sounds a bit alarmist I know, but here’s my take on this. In the past, I’ve been fairly lackadaisical about politics. I thought I had left-wing leanings when I was younger but then who doesn’t/didn’t? At least I wasn’t a hippy [...]

The UK Election Headline Game: what do you think it’ll be tomorrow then?

by on April 12, 2010 in measurement, monitoring, socialmedia, trends, visualisation

The other day I was going through the UK Election Social Media Dashboard and suddenly noticed, in large letters, the word ‘nauseating’ next to Vince Cable’s tweet cloud. It’s not every day you see a politician using a four-syllable adjective so I clicked and found out, well, you probably know by now, that he considers [...]

Tweetclouds of the Iraq Inquiry Blair session

by on February 1, 2010 in Twitter, visualisation

The Iraq Inquiry plods on. However, Friday 29th January did provide some interest, as Tony Blair presented his view. As Chilcot made clear, it wasn’t a trial, and no one was to be found guilty. However, there was still intense interest around what Blair would say, particularly given his recent interview with Fern Britton in [...]

What are people saying about… the iPad, iPhone and iPod?

by on January 29, 2010 in blogs, brands, monitoring, RSS, search, strategy, technology, Twitter, visualisation

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past week, you’ll know all about the iPad, Apple’s new wunderkit – what it has, what it has not, what it’s for, what it’s not for, and so on. Fortunately, the term ‘iPad’ is very quick and easy to search for. So, it’s a doddle to [...]

What are people saying about… Imagination Technologies?

by on January 26, 2010 in blogging, monitoring, socialmedia, strategy, technology, Twitter, visualisation

I’ve been tinkering with Yahoo Pipes quite a lot recently, and plugging it into Netvibes. The Pipes interface can be flaky but once you get it set up you can reuse Pipes simply by passing parameters to them without ever having to edit them again. And Netvibes is just gorgeous. I’ve ‘done’ Eurostar when all [...]

What are people saying about… Bono?

by on January 4, 2010 in cloudcomputing, monitoring, reputationmanagement, research, RSS, socialmedia, technology, visualisation

Last week I looked at how Eurostar were faring, by putting together a dashboard in Netvibes which is powered by my social media search engine in the background. The results were interesting: we could see how the anger spread quickly through social media channels – and now, you can see how it’s waned quickly. No [...]

It’s hell, but necessary hell. How to keep track of freelancing projects.

by on August 14, 2009 in cloudcomputing, copywriting, disciplines, marketing, visualisation

Management. Administration. Bureaucracy. I hate it. But I have to do it. And actually, in a decidedly perverse way, Google Docs is helping me hate it a bit less every day. I once worked for a time as a designer. I quite liked being protected from the hard-nosed business of, well, business. Our sales team [...]

Top tip: put your keywords in your title

by on October 13, 2008 in blogging, brands, disciplines, marketing, PR, socialnetworks, visualisation

PR is most definitely a keyword. If you work in it, you should mention it. I’ve come across Matthew Watson’s list of PR Blogs before. It’s another approach to ‘measuring’ blogs, by simply peeling out those from the Ad Age Power150 which mention the word ‘PR’ in the title. You could argue that it’s a [...]

Yahoo Pipes: you’ve got to go there to come back

by on October 7, 2008 in cloudcomputing, computing, monitoring, RSS, technology, visualisation

If anyone’s been following my Twitter feed recently they’ll know that I’ve been getting to grips with Yahoo Pipes. I think it’s an amazing tool and offers the tantalising possibility of creating a wholly modular monitoring system, effectively through programming-like routines which, through a neat graphical interface, largely remove the need for knowing how to [...]
