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.

Given there’s an end-of-term feeling around the office at the moment, I suppose it’d be OK to take five minutes out to respond to my tagging by Richard Millington.

Jumping the gun?
Saturday, October 14th, 2006 at 8:35 pm
I’ve been following the outpouring of blog posts about “Wal-marting across America” with interest. Could this be another example of the blogosphere not checking its sources?
