I’m not sure if I believe that television in the traditional sense will soon be dead. As a friend correctly pointed out yesterday, everything in media has a transitional fading out period and doesn’t just end suddenly. Having said that, the internet does make the idea of watching entertainment a whole lot easier and more accessible, and now in the ‘age of the mobile’, you can even watch stuff, well.....on your mobile.

We have all heard the classic Whitney lyric “I believe the children are our future” but until I attended the Tomorrow’s Web Conference held in London at the Keyworth Centre on Saturday, I didn’t quite realise just how appropriate that lyric is.

Ever wanted to see who’s looking at your facebook profile page? Now you can. Or so the makers of the new Stalker Check app claim.I installed it tonight and went through a number of reactions in the span of a few minutes. Initially there were no surprises. The people I interact with the most—and therefore who would show as posting to my wall frequently through comments, gifts, etc.—were ranked at the top o...

If you’ve ever been around a blogger while they’re checking their email, you’ve undoubtedly heard the occasional groan, which is then followed by a, ”Why! WHY would I want to write about that?!!?” or a disgruntled, “Did you even READ my blog?!”Why the groaning and complaining?

BlogHer 2009, the conference dedicated to female bloggers and the companies that want to market to them, went off in Chicago last weekend. After spending some time reading accounts of the experience on blogs and Twitter, one thing has become overwhelmingly clear: BlogHer has turned into a marketing orgy, which is resulting in formerly normal, sane women turning into swag hungry monsters.

Feeling bored? Feeling like you’re going to impale yourself with a stapler, or perhaps just go out “for a coffee” and never return?Well, I have something for you to do that is less painful, won’t get you fired, and is certainly more entertaining than F5ing Twitter all afternoon. (Really!)

I was fortunate enough to be among the presenters at the Great Writing Conference at Bangor University last month. I spoke about using Twitter in the classroom while outside the annex blackbirds sang and gulls shrieked, which seemed entirely appropriate. Inside there were a number of furrowed brows but also a handful of nodding heads as I talked about the limited results of assigning 140 character stories and groped my way toward proposing assignments that might actually have something...

Everywhere you look there's swine flu. People having it, people being paranoid about it and people making videos about it and uploading them on Youtube. From the ridiculous (Egyptian swine flu schlagers anyone?) to the hilarious, viral swine flu wont at least make you sneeze.It's easy to get paranoid when everyone around you is talking about swine flu. When you overhear conversations on the bus between people who work in a pharmacies talking about how scared they are, when you s...
