Developing A Strong ‘NO’

Developing A Strong ‘NO’

Last week, Rich Quick posted an excellent comment on this blog, talking saying “NO”. It came in the middle of the discussion of the 5 innovations of the iPad, and that Apple’s strength was by saying no to a lot of things, in order to have a stronger and more defined yes. In actual fact, [...]

Transparency in 2012

Transparency in 2012

This week began interestingly when I commented on a Telegraph article on the iPhone 4, which had it’s ‘10 reasons not to buy the iPhone 4‘, none of which were factually grounded. I commented saying that it was poor journalism considering it was false information, but the shock came when my comment was promptly deleted. [...]

Building The Kingdom: Knowing Me, Knowing You

Building The Kingdom: Knowing Me, Knowing You

My friend Robin Dickinson had what I described as the greatest blog ever recently. His post “Share Words“, in which he gave hands on advice on assisting people with their own share words – short phrases to help him share what they are about – to every person who commented. The best bit was how [...]

Video: What Social Means for Broadcast Business

If you can’t see the above video, click here. Last Friday I spoke at the second Creative Brkfst, down in Plymouth, UK, upon the kind invitation of my friend and founder of Creative Brksft, Nathaniel Davis. The video is a bit slow for the first minute or slow, as I was being introduced, but we quickly begin [...]

The 5 Innovations of the iPad

The 5 Innovations of the iPad

There’s been an iPad in my office for 2 months or so already, but with the UK release, I thought now would be a better time to talk about it. Whilst I’ll inevitably discuss some of the features, I want to keep to what I see as the key points of innovation, and draw some [...]

Building the Kingdom: Number 1s and Number 2s

Building the Kingdom: Number 1s and Number 2s

Over the last week, there’s been some great discussion from our community on the post “Are you a King or a King-Maker?” First of all – thank you. The depth of discussion has been exceptional and a very clear display of people who are all committed to being king-makers. This post is in response to the comments and discussion, [...]

Spreadability and Guidance vs Governance

If you can’t see the above video, click here, or watch it directly. I had a great chat with Sam Ford from MIT yesterday about spreadability. Turns out he and Henry Jenkins are writing a book about it, with the same ideas that I’ve been having over the last 6 months — and we didn’t [...]

Are You A King, Or A King-Maker?

Are You A King, Or A King-Maker?

I wrote yesterday about my dear friend Trey Pennington who I described as a king-maker. People really liked the analogy of being a king or king-maker, which isn’t surprising - but I wonder how many people really are making kings? It’s far more rewarding, effective and exciting to be the king-maker, than trying to put yourself on [...]

I Love Trey Pennington

I Love Trey Pennington

A year ago today I met Trey Pennington: 26th May 2009. We got talking on Twitter in early 2009, and when he was due to come over to England, we arranged to meet up. Trey actually did one better, and came down to Exeter for one of our first tweetups. For those of you who know [...]
