Technorati, Ogilvy and verbal diarrhoea
Monday, February 12th, 2007 at 10:31 am
James Byford and Antony Mayfield have blogged about the Technorati/Ogilvy link-up that was announced last week. The main aspect of the announcement itself that stands out to me is that much was said in the respective news releases and posts, but it all meant so little - a hype and jargon overload.

Running a website means everything that happens on the site takes place in full public view. Any design tweak, software upgrade or testing you do can be seen by anyone who visits your website which can make you look unprofessional if things don’t go according to plan.

So what’s a blog then?
Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007 at 2:54 pm
The discussion about what makes a blog a blog has resurfaced again - I was struggling with a definition recently when putting together a presentation about social media, so the debate is particularly timely for me.

Blogging year one - 2006
Sunday, December 31st, 2006 at 9:58 pm
I’ve had my own website at www.simonwakeman.com since 2001. Until January 2006 it featured basic information about me and not a lot else. Over the past twelve months that’s definitely changed.
