In Chris Garrett's latest article, he asks: Do you deserve your social media followers? Here is my response: This seems to be the way of the current state of the WWW. A billion voices attempting to shout louder than the next, all asking for something yet giving very little in return. We are all guilty... Continue Reading →
How I Market and Socialise with FaceBook

The Bakkabakkandi Grandstand
Adelaide residents (should) know the bakkabakkandi grandstand , situated on the eastern side of the old race-course upon Victoria Park, Adelaide CBD. When you went to the Adelaide GrandPrix during the 1980's and early 1990's, you would have walked passed this building hundreds of times, but not realising the importance of significance of it to...

How is your Business Being Seen on the WWW?
This is an interesting podcast from LeeHopkins. I've met Lee, I know he is passionate about this subject, and I know he means alll that he says, and it is interesting to see him gesticulating from the grassy side-walks in North Adelaide. I wondered why he is standing to one side of screen ... but... Continue Reading →
The Difference Between Facebook, Plurk and Twitter
Originally written as a response to Ben Barden's article entitled "10 Sites I No Longer Use, and why I Stopped Using Them" [c. July 22, 2009 ], but it got so long that I felt it warranted its own article. I use Facebook to connect with family and close-friends; I use Twitter to connect with... Continue Reading →

I Hate Umbrellas
I hate umbrellas. Yeah, it's a weird thing to hate, yet it's with good reason. Umbrellas seem to be my one and only true enemy. My height off the ground invites the spine of each umbrella-wing straight into my eyes. It doesn't matter how tall the holder is, they are always held at just height... Continue Reading →
Giving Good Advice
Sometimes the best advice is NO advice. Recently I noticed several online arguments wherein people I know and respect were at loggerheads over inane and pithy incidents. Whilst I could have put my written-voice into the conversation, I had the good sense to take a step back. Yes, the topic was of interest and a... Continue Reading →

Cold Calling for Opportunity
This morning I did something unusual yet opportunistic : I asked a stunningly beautiful woman to let me photograph her. Well, that is not the correct story, so let me explain further... After departing the train this morning, I visited my usual coffee-shop (just up the ramp between the North Terrace Train Station and up... Continue Reading →
My #SocADL Report
As you would have read previously, I went to the #SocAdl meeting-of minds on Tuesday, 3rd Nov 2009. With neither expectations nor presumptions, I went along to the Tivoli hotel in Pirie Street simply hoping to meet some new people. The only agenda I had was to attempt to attend both the #SocAdl and #TheStartUpClub... Continue Reading →
SocADL, Live at the Tivoli
Yes, I was there. I went to the #SocADL meeting at the Tivoli a couple of nights back. I was the bloke who piped up about the less-than-delightful joys of club involvement, suggesting #SocADL should remain informal — bound by our online banter and interaction, rather than bogged down in regulations, procedures, or government red...
