Recently I watched the BBC series “The Virtual Revolution”. Being a bit of a techie geek on the quiet, it’s stuff that very much interests me, all things internet, social media and beyond.
I have to say, it was an absolutely fantastic series that explored the origins of the internet and how it’s changed our lives whether we want it to or not, and the revolution of how it’s affected business globally too. For many of us who are small businesses, (and big businesses for that matter), the uses within the …

This is a recent talk I gave at a 4Networking meeting in Birmingham Longbridge about personal and business branding by incorporating audio into the mix.

Wherever you are in the world, whenever you watch the news nowadays, you’ll very rarely find an article that is uplifting, or just something that makes you think ‘whoah, that’s quite impressive’. Well, certainly I don’t anyway. That’s why generally speaking, I try not to watch the news that much anymore; it’s just far too depressing.
Not that I spend my entire life living on YouTube either, but more often than not, on there I regularly find some incredible videos of great human achievement, perseverance, and effort, that you just know …

Last Friday was the global launch of Apple’s new operating system, ‘Snow Leopard’. This has already sparked controversy with the techie people I’ve been talking to. Responses like “Oh they’re just charging you for a service pack update” and “it’s not a full OS, it’s hardly an upgrade, but they charge you anyway”.

It seems Apple read my mind with this one. Only last week, having not heard anything about this app anywhere, it just sprang into my mind; ‘wouldn’t it be nice to be able to access my iDisk on my iPhone?’.
Well, they’ve done it, and released a free application that will do just that. Via a simple login screen, you can access all the folders and files contained on your iDisk, and even access other people’s Public Folders to view PDF’s, videos, pictures, MS Office files and more.
The best bit, in …

Well, after a series of good announcements from Apple at this year’s WWDC event in San Francisco, it seems Apple/o2 have stirred up massive controversy. With purportedly huge upgrade fees for iPhone 3G users to upgrade to the new iPhone ‘3G S’, it doesn’t look like there’ll be many people queuing this time round!
On first reports, handset cost (on my tariff) works out to about £170. I don’t mind that due to the massive 32GB storage plus the new hardware features, but with the requirement to pay upwards of £250 …
