Well, I say “the future”… that’s based purely on Gerd Leonhard‘s title of “Media Futurist”.

They both gave fascinating talks at the beginning of […]
Read MoreI’ve just finished writing my regular column for Enterprise Magazine. My topic this month was “personal branding on the web”. I’ll publish the full article here once it hits the streets, but I thought I’d share the unedited insights of two experts who shared their wisdom with me. I didn’t have space for all their […]
Read More1 – Interesting article in the Financial Times this morning* about how big companies (and I mean Shell, Procter & Gamble – that kind of big) are taking web 2.0 tools seriously. Worth a few minutes of your time, definitely. 2 – I put a message out on Twitter a few days ago for some […]
