August 5, 2009

If you’ve read some of my blog posts from earlier this year, you might have come to the conclusion that I’m starting to dance on the grave of the traditional car magazine, but you’d be wrong.

Social Media & Blogging – The Big Company Gamble?

June 30, 2009

I was having quite a long chat with a prospoective client last week about how their website wasn’t performing and how using blogging and other social media ideas would work well for them.

Twitter Follow Indecision?

May 13, 2009

What should I do? Should I automatically follow back everyone who follows me? After all, it seems rude not to return the compliment. But, I use TweekDeck. I find it usedful for checking Tweeks with a quick glance. It makes a cute little noise and a small square appears telling me when a tweet’s happened. [...]

Car Magazines and Video – part 2

April 24, 2009

My posting on car magazine websites and video content certainly generated interest. Many writers I spoke with and indeed one publisher reckoned it summed up the way they were feeling, but they also felt I was being a little harsh – not all videos are bad.
