It’s the fastest five minutes I’ve ever spent on YouTube, interestingly, and really cheered me up. I’d love to show this (via Guido) to all of the people who love to tell me how there’s nothing especially interesting or earth-shattering about what we are now doing online. Oh, really?

In the middle of packing. Popped online (”Uh huh,” you say) just to write down all my confirmation numbers for the trip. Had a quick peek at my RSS reader, hit Brian Micklethwait’s feed, and HOLY MOLY, Jeffrey Archer has a blog!
Deep breaths.
Sadly, this doesn’t look to be the comedic mix of arrogance and […]

“Making money with ads? Not much longer…” says Dave Winer. When I say this, I’m a crank. When he says it, he’s a vastly more qualified crank. We’re both right:
When they finish the process of better and better targeted advertising, that’s when the whole idea of advertising will go poof, will disappear. If it’s perfectly […]

Not so long ago, I was spammed by Feedpass, and ended up getting in a rather sternly worded email ‘discussion’ with them. They also pissed off a lot of other bloggers. Now, the entire company is for sale on eBay. What I want to know is, who’s the schmuck who thinks this POS is worth […]

I’m going to be speaking at ValueClick’s much-ballyhooed Commission Junction University, an event for CJ’s top tier advertisers and publishers, next week. The keynoter will be Dragons’ Den biz critic and serial entrepreneur Doug Richards, and Richard Duvall (founder of online bank Egg, now of Zopa) will also be speaking. I’ll be touching on commercial […]

Jeff Clavier links to Heather Green on the subject of trying to give a talk at a conference and seeing most of the audience peering into their laptops instead of giving you their full attention. Heather writes:
Maybe people were blogging. Or maybe they really had no interest in anything I or the other folks on […]

I just got my notes on Wednesday’s VNU Blogs & Social Media Forum back (thanks, Adriana!). They’re not comprehensive, because there were points when I just wanted to listen and not write. Where no quotation marks are used or I am not obviously relating a point made by a specific person, the words are reflective […]

Bing-bloody-o:
Marketers don’t know what they want because their model is that they capture something about the users and then blast something to them when they don’t want it.

Our friend Brian Micklethwait said something nice about this blog in a post on style and politics, so of course I left a comment on his post. An excerpt of what I said (sorry, Brian, for being so longwinded), about how social media is changing humans in a way that is likely to affect politics:
People […]

Maybe it’s the sunshine, but I’m overhauling my RSS feeds and adding a bunch more that will make me laugh on a regular basis. Exhibit A: Irwin Handleman, a writer for Mind of Mencia, has made my morning much better with his From Midgets to Groupies to Fat Black Women. There’s no feed linked on […]

I just realised I haven’t announced this anywhere, so here goes: While I was at Latitude, the social media intitiatives I introduced saw the company’s press coverage increase sixfold, website traffic increase 7000 per cent, and sales enquiries via the web increase tens of thousands of percentage points. (Latitude was also named the UK’s fastest […]

Last night, Antoine Clarke (who’s my fiancé, for those who don’t - for some odd reason - slavishly follow every detail of my life) and Brian Micklethwait recorded their second weekly podcast about worldwide elections. Brian ‘interviews’ Antoine, but it’s more of a conversation than anything as formal as an interview. The would-be interviewer writes:
As […]

I just signed up for Mashup on May 2nd. The programme looks interesting, and it’s only £25+VAT.

This list is mostly common sense, but worth keeping in mind (via Lifehacker, which is so prolific that it made me feel stressed and thus unhappy, and was consequently removed from my RSS reader. This one came via Dave Winer.).
