off to a U-talk marketing seminar on social media tomorrow in London - looks like it will be really interesting although it seems much of it is referencing stuff that is in the Groundswell book that I am nearly finished reading.

Sorry for the lack of posts - have been on holiday!

Will update when I have been on the seminar!

Typepad

This is a minefield - asking me to edit code for goodness sake!! Anyway - after messing it up first time it seems to be working - hopefully this will help me work more efficiently!!! What else is Typepad for?
When you're blogging do you spend most of your time signing up and registering with new things???

Inept Management

I was amazed to see on the BBC website that we failed to sign a new striker in the transfer window as we got the paperwork tothe FA 15 minutes after the deadline! Shaun Harvey was quoted as saying "It is disappointing that the football league stuck strictly tothe deadline".

Mr Harvey - it is even more disappointing that the sorry lot running Leeds United couldn't get their paperwork in on time!!!

Digg

Reading more about Digg and its function in Groundswell and thought it would be good to have a Digg button on my Blog - how on earth do you do that?

Any help out there would be gratefully received!

Groundswell

On the advice of a really nice guy - Jonathan Rippon - I have bought the book Groundswell. From reading the first few pages it sounds like exactly the sort of book anyone in my position should read. I am sure it is a well known text in the digital/social media world however much of it, I am sure, will be new to me!

.....and now - I am off to read (well maybe when I get home!)
