I first saw this image [see thumbnail] when I worked in America (you know who you are!) which is why I am loving this presentation by Merlin Mann. Truth bomb central. Take heed though – as is said in slide 40 – some things will always be labeled as ‘career limiting behaviour’ and some things will plain just get you fired.

Every morning for the past I don’t-know-how-long I am greeted by the oh-so-sunny folks of an anti-abortion group outside a family planning clinic just before I enter the big glass box that is the Kindred office. There are multiple people out there – some opposite the surgery holding a banner, others on my side of the street ready to thrust a badly designed pamphlet in someone’s hand. Whilst [insert your own opinion here] you can’t deny the sum of the parts does not equal the whole effect this must have on its intended target. It’s difficult to imagine how a Twitter campaign, Facebook page etc could have had the same emotional effect/call to (change) action. Read the rest of this entry »

It takes your “lifestream” and makes it into articles etc. That’s Twitter, RSS, Facebook all mashedup and made to look beautiful. Will be interesting to see how far the guys can take this. They really have something here. Between this and Pulse, the future of news looks beautiful. Read the rest of this entry »

Interesting little company that came across my radar a while back is now doing some good work with charideeeee – pownum – a kind of rate/shame… rashame (?!) kind of thing for businesses… anything really. Good stuff all round.
Founded and wholly owned by Marty Carroll and Karl Havard it went live in May and is seeing good numbers. Now having a charity pot (with real money in it) ready to be donated to the charities, chosen by pownum users, at the end of August 2010 it’s getting some serious attention – check out the PR Week blog for the interview with the founders or the website itself : http://pownum.com
