Defining the elusive meaningful metric

9 September 2010

When you write a post – whether it’s a tweet, blog or comment etc – and people read it, repeat it and they like it – this can at times lead us to feeling ‘I’ve done it. I’m finally reaching people’ But in point of fact, this is only the beginning. Because even though tracking [...]

An Idea Worth Spreading: Coca~Cola Happiness Machine UK

7 September 2010

I came across this youtube video from Coca~Cola (launched today 7th September 2010) that is truely REMARKABLE, and one that clearly everyone involved in will talk about, think about for a very long time to come.

Political Parallax-It’s pretty clear from where I’m standing #GE2010

6 May 2010
