28

I’m writing this article because one of the most asked questions we get at ContentNow.co.uk is “can you help us get our site listed in Google News”. The answer is yes, in fact we launched our News product recently for that specific purpose. However, whether you write your own content, have in-house content writers or [...]

Basically it tells a story of how one of their interns, a young guy named Daniel Brusilovsky had allegedly asked for a Macbook Air in return for writing a post about a startup. TechCrunch got wind of this, the intern admitted it and [...]

No need for the negativity

Twitter Lists - big opportunity - ShareMyTwitterLists.com anyone?

Any readers of this blog or anybody who saw me speak at the A4U Expo this year will know that I’m a big fan of Twitter and use it for lots and lots of things, mainly as a marketing channel in it’s own right. When I was asked at one session to recommend a future [...]

10 predictions for 2009

10

I thought it would be fun to make some predictions of what I think is going to happen in Internetland this year. I’ve tried to stay away from obvious stuff like “more businesses will close because we’re in a recession” and have put my neck out on the line with some more specific stuff. Let’s [...]

I’m A Celebrity…Ramblings

11

I don’t watch ITV’s “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here” but was channel hopping tonight and caught it for a bit and felt compelled to make some observations.
Dani Behr is gorgeous. Simply lush.
What is Martina Navratilova doing in there? She’s arguably the best female tennis player ever. Surely she doesn’t need the publicity?
Likewise why is [...]

Stuff

Stuff is a great word isn’t it? I use it loads to describe all sorts of…well stuff.
In this case though it means a collection of news and tidbits that I’ve been reading/thinking about and pondering over the last few days…

First the Jonathan and Russell fiasco, now further evidence that the world has gone stark raving bonkers.
After eating healthy for a few days now I decided I deserved a treat in the form of a little bit of chocolate to ease my craving. So I headed to the shop, picked up a bag of my [...]

Jonathan Ross & Russell Brand’s “offensive” call to Andrew Sachs - is it a slow news day?

23

I was going to blog about this yesterday but thought, no it’ll blow over soon, it must be a slow news day. How wrong I was. Today we have Gordon Brown and David Cameron appearing on TV and in the press giving their opinions on the whole debacle. Seriously, have our leaders got nothing better [...]
