All About Google
At the end of December, Adam featured a list of his Top 10 presentations of 2008 and kindly included my presentation on What's Next In Media in the list, along with Paul's deck on Modern Brand Building (majoring on the 'stop campaigning, start committing' line which I love). Featured in the list is this useful…

The Evolution Of The Internet
Pew Research have surveyed over 500 leading internet experts, activists and commentators about the impact of networked technologies on society over the next decade or so. There's quite a bit you'd expect – mobile as the primary connection tool, improvements in the architecture of the internet, prevalence of voice recognition and touch interfaces, a continuing…

Shared Culture
Nicely produced video explaining the principles behind creative commons, which is of-course the great enabler behind the new participative culture and communications infrastructure. There's some great quotes in here about how the commons framework is "the bridge" to a future (many would say a present) that moves away from thinking purely about content to thinking…

The Knowledge Revolution
I've seen a couple of things recently that have suggested that the "internet revolution" is over. That 2.0 has been with us for long enough now that we all know what to do – it's now just a matter of getting on with it. For me, this just doesn't ring true. As the connectedness of…

Culture, Communication And Impermanence
One of the things I like about this blog is that it captures my thinking as a snapshot in time and if were to look back, I can see how it has moved on, changed, evolved. In reality, I rarely go back over old posts in any kind of systematic way, but it's kind of…

Making Content Pay
I was asked to do a piece for this week's New Media Age which I thought it would be worth sticking up here. It combines some short responses to individual questions about ad targeting, content, ad-funded models and mobile (restricted length on some big subjects probably means it doesn't flow as it could but then…

The Internet of Things
The internet is only around 5000 days old. I read something a few weeks back that suggested that the "internet revolution" is over. When I read it, it just didn’t feel right. Sure, networks are changing everything. But what of the possibilities when the depth and breadth of connection is unlike anything that we can…

Web Without Sense
This is very funny. And it happened to brighten up a late-working session no end 🙂 "Essentially a blog, it is a gallery of common place website design/layout/marketing/general annoyances on the Internet. Equally, it is satirical dialogue aimed to get a message across while being frank and outward." Via

Fishmobile
Natty little application I came across over on Dave’s blog – a service called MoFuse which allows you to instantly create a mobile site for your blog. Go here, type in your URL, personalise it, and away you go. If your so inclined you can have Dead Fish on your mobile any time you want…

On The Future Of The Web
The last time I saw Sir Tim Berners-Lee speak I wrote down this quote: "the web is a sub-set of humans interacting". I saw him speak again last night at a seminar on the future of the web at which he talked about his web science initiative. He was asked a question about whether, with…
