Groups have become a very important feature of Linkedin with some real potential, but many are going astray.

Now Woobius’ little multiplatform real-time-visual-chat application Woobius Eye has won the MEX 2010 award, just another step on a road to inevitable stardom.
So What’s a MEX Award?

A funny thing happened to me on the way home from work on Friday.
I was innocently scanning the stream of people I follow on twitter when I noticed that @Innocentdrinks (the makers of the lovely Innocent smoothies my son loves so much) had a new ad, so iPhones being what they are, I clicked through [...]

Thumbnail image for Twitter is Self Selecting [Survey Result Post]

In my last post I pointed out how easy it is for people to ‘follow’ and ‘unfollow’ people using Twitter, and how it is unidirectional – that is, if I follow you, it doesn’t mean that you have to necessarily follow back.

You might think that Twitter’s inate ‘opt in/opt out’ qualities make it fickle, and [...]

Follow Friday – what is it and how should I do it? #followfriday

19 February 2010

Its Friday again, great. We all love Friday, and Twitter users in particular, partly due to a great tradition which emerged, like many features, from its users.

Follow Friday is an important aspect of twitter interaction, and after a request by Andy Marshall (@fotofacade on twitter) I’m going to give you my take on it.
