Video: Media Isn’t Social?

If you can’t see this video, click here, or watch it directly on YouTube. This is an interesting tale from David Armano on how media isn’t social. Being as I’m on holiday and all, I’m going to leave all the discussion to you — but I will make one key point: I think that media [...]

Are You Afraid To Give It Away?

Are You Afraid To Give It Away?

I don’t know who first said it, but the idea of an open platform and being an active authority is that by equipping people with the best resources that aren’t your own – by sending them away – you get them back. This is the premise that most of the digitalls on Twitter follow. They [...]

Are You Living A Life Of Purpose?

Ok, so perhaps this is deep and delving a bit too much into people’s salads, but the other night I was at a dinner party and when asking about their interests and passions, the person said to me that they weren’t really doing the things they felt were a fulfilment of their life and found [...]
