Superb video on those dangerous Dublin adverts
Sunday, July 13th, 2008Jazz Biscuit has linked to a Youtube video on those aforementioned dangerous Dublin ad-shells which puts my previous effort on the Dorset St. advert to utter shame.
This video details the dangers posed by the new JCDecaux adverts which were agreed to by Dublin City Council and tells you what you can do to get them […]
On The Last Word this evening to talk about Photo Sharing
Thursday, March 13th, 2008I’ll be on The Last Word at around half 6 to talk about Photo Sharing sites - tune in online or on the radio/tv if you can!
Making money out of Ghosts
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Having successfully downloaded and listened through Nine Inch Nails‘ ‘Ghosts I-IV‘ I’ve been thinking over the potential for the business model pursued by Reznor with this instrumental album.
There’s no doubt that selling digital downloads for $5 and CDs for $10 will attract a lot of interest from fans - as will the higher-end packages for […]
The Irish Blog Awards 2008 - My recap
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008A belated congratulations to all the winners at this year’s Irish Blog Awards - and congratulations to Damien and his team of elves for the excellent show they put on.
Over the course of the night I got the impression of a community that was far more sure of itself than before; as well as more […]
IBAs tonight - good luck and see you there
Saturday, March 1st, 2008A quick good luck to all those nominated for awards at tonight’s Irish Blog Awards.
Looking forward to it myself - mainly as an opportunity to meet some people in person for the first time and to catch up with those I’ve not seen in a bit.
If there’s one bad thing I can say about last […]
Interview with John Waters on Blogging (from 2006)
Thursday, February 7th, 2008In 2006 I undertook a thesis on the issue of new media and citizen journalism. As part of this process I approached a number of people in the mainstream media who I knew would have a strong opinion on the matter, one of whom was John Waters who was (and assumedly still is) a self-confessed […]
I am crying, writing this*
Thursday, January 31st, 2008A laurel, and hearty handshake to everyone long-listed for this year’s Irish Blog Awards. I mean that sincerely, even to the blogs I’ve never heard of or don’t like.
Neither AdamMaguire.com nor Dáil30.ie got onto the list, which is a little sad but far from a surprise. Both blogs, particularly Dáil30.ie, have been treading water over […]
A senior source at IBA HQ has told me…
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008An hour ago I received a phonecall.
“I have information that could be big. Meet me at the McDonalds car park at 6pm sharp. I’ll be dressed as a covert spy. Don’t be late.”
The caller hung up before I could compose myself and say a word.
What should I do? Was this for real? Was […]
Meta-Viral
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008So a couple of days ago a video pops up on the internet of a TV news blooper where a bird craps in a reporter’s mouth while he’s on location.
Here:
It seems pretty real up until the “money shot”, at which point the reporter’s reaction seems a little staged.
Unsurprisingly, the newly released “Behind The Scenes” video […]

Sunday, November 18th, 2007Here’s a transcript of my article from the Media & Marketing section of The Sunday Business Post on marketing and social networking; found in today’s edition:
Pushing your products successfully on sites such as Myspace.com, Facebook.com and Bebo.com takes a savvy approach, writes Adam Maguire.
