Blogs, Facebook and business (from 2nd September’s Computers in Business, Sunday Business Post)
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007I forgot to post these up on Sunday but here are my two articles from The Sunday Business Post’s Computers in Business suppliment. They’re about using blogs, facebook and other social networking sites to network, make yourself available to your existing audience and promote yourself to your potential one.
The main piece is quite long so […]
Jobs.ie sitting on Facebook.ie
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007It looks as though job listing company Jobs.ie Ltd is sitting on the domain Facebook.ie, which currently redirects users to Irish-based social networking site TalkBeans.com.
If the domain was registered after 2004 it would almost certainly be seen by authorities as being registered in bad faith; apart from this the fact that it is directing traffic […]
What’s the point of facebook?
Friday, July 27th, 2007I tend to avoid using most “2.0″ web applications because I fail to see an advantage in doing so. Don’t get me wrong, some applications have been used particularly well by some people but that doesn’t mean that I can do much with them myself.
I knew very little about Facebook and was equally apathetic but […]
This is Web 2.0
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007For those that don’t know, Bash.org is a site dedicated to the best and worst of online chatroom comments and conversations. It is a testament to both the quick-wit and the slow-stupidity which humanity is capable of.
This one fits into the former category and is worth remembering at all times:
[dsully] please describe web 2.0 to […]
How not to deal with unhappy customers
Thursday, June 21st, 2007I’m probably the last blogger in all of blog-land to mention this, but it’s worth reading up on if you haven’t already.
Long story, short:
Damien Mulley (formerly of Ireland Offline) returns from the Reboot conference in Copenhagen and arrives in Dublin Airport to find that his bag is lost. He contacts the company in charge of […]
Web designer needed for Dáil30
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007With the election now over and the 30th Dáil only days away from commencing, things over at Dáil30 are going to be picking up significantly.
At the moment the behind-the-scenes work is the central priority - it’s crucial that all 166 TDs are on board and committed as early as possible. But once there’s momentum in […]
Blurring the truth with a little help from YouTube (SBP - 27th May 2007)
Monday, May 28th, 2007An article of mine in this week’s Media & Marketing section of The Sunday Business Post:
The popularity of online video sites has blurred the line between television and the internet, but the increasing use of the medium by large organisations and political parties may also blur the line between facts and propaganda.
Sites such as YouTube.com […]
Discussion on Rock The Vote available for download
Thursday, May 24th, 2007The Last Word podcast for this evening’s show is now available and I’ve cut out the discussion between Paddy Cosgrave (from Rock The Vote) and myself - all six minutes is available for it to download here (right click, save etc.).
In the excitement of the discussion the six minutes went by quite quickly, but there […]
What a day
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007I’m currently in the process of uploading (probably) my final interview for IrishElection.com and I have to say I’ve had a ball taking part in what was a somewhat hectic but very enjoyable day.
All in all the site has done very well to get some pretty high-profile candidates to speak to us and besides adding […]
Moratorium-free podcasting at IrishElection.com
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007IrishElection.com have just posted the first in their series of candidate interview’s running all day today.
The concept behind the podcasts is to give voters one last chance to hear from the parties and give the candidates one last chance to put themselves out there on the only medium that will allow it - the internet.
Cian […]
