Copywriting for social media
Do forgive me this brief rant, I just came out of yet another meeting I tried to explain blogging and mcroblogging to corporate types. Exhausting. For some reason, it seems very difficult for the corporate world to relate to social media. It’s a little like trying to convert a B2B marketer to B2C: whatever they do, [...]

Sunday, November 2, 2008
Finally got the time to do these – just some RSS icons in a few different colours and sizes. You can just right-click and save image to your computer. Alternatively there is a link to a zip archive containing all the icons at the bottom of the page. All the images are transparent png files – [...]

Friday, September 12, 2008
It’s interesting how Twitter can take over one’s life, in a very short period of time. I suspect this is more true for the SEO/blogging crowd than for “normal” people.

I surprised myself the other day writing a post about another blog. Somehow I felt vaguely embarassed about it. I did it because I genuinely thought they had great content that I just had to share, but it wasn’t honest work. It was too easy. Easy to write the post – I didn’t have to do [...]
