A ghost on twitter

Monday, April 21st, 2008

It seems people are missing my tweets.
I say stuff, and very few people can see me.
Other people are missing.
As Allison blogs: “The day that twitter died”
Thankfully, today was a busy day. Productivity level good.

Selling your Identity Stunts your Intelligence

Monday, April 14th, 2008

As mentioned by Duncan Riley in "Rocketboom Founder Puts His Twitter Account On Sale", Andrew Varon Baron is "selling his twitter account" as a stunt.
As at posting, the bidding is at US$510.00
I am not sure how this ID is valued, and it seems strange that it has value when decoupled from the person selling the [...]

Twitter Paranoia

Friday, November 9th, 2007

OK, aliens are invading my twitter feed
Or, after reaching 5000 tweets ranging in topics from Eurovision'07 to Neil Finn Revival Meetings, my postings are swallowed by the great twitter engine. Does Ms Gale have a restraining order out on me? More likely Paul Foster's mobile phone cost centre owner in the UK.
Maybe it's the lolcat [...]

Creating in SecondLife

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Thanks to Uncle Dave Wallace (to the left), I now feel properly attired in SecondLife:

Hanging out on the The Podcast Network island, where the Australian Twitterarti drop in and out. Donated some money to Cameron so he's not taking food from his family's mouth to create a place to visit.
Duncan Riley from Techcrunch posted his [...]

I was wrong about SecondLife

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

Last night, a bunch of Aussies met up in SecondLife at the home of Cameron Reilly. Cam owns The Podcast Network, and is always good for a chat.
As a SecondLife n00b, I really hadn't anywhere to "call home", and the constant typing of conversation left me cold. Heck, I can type and converse in Twitter. [...]

Social Networking: People, not Messages

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

 
What is the Web 2.0 World Saying about you, now?
I strongly recommend any Marketing/PR person just starting out to download and install Particls: http://particls.com/. You can use Particls to watch the internet for you. Enter the phrases and words that are your products and brands, and watch the conversation that ensues.
It is wise to start [...]

Blue Day, Melbourne

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Blue Day means a clear day. I could see the sky. After leaving a dark and rainy Sydney, 4degC Melbourne was a rude surprise.
Up at 4:00am. A cat wandered out, stretched and looked at me quizzically seemingly asking : "WTF?"

After checking the online world, my new residence, drive off to the airport. Megan's battery is [...]
