I was pretty disappointed that we didn’t manage to organise a Third Thursday meeting of the Isle of Man Social Media Club in October. I’ve been off the Island a lot lately and @OwenC who is usually able to deputise for me, was slightly preoccupied with the arrival of his new twin daughter and son. [...]

We had a capacity crowd come out this week to the Isle of Man Social Media Club’s Super Third Thursday get together. The focus was on eDemocracy and how the interactive web is changing politics and democracy. Simon Collister, who hails from Ramsey, was our speaker and he gave us a fascinating insight into how [...]

Recently a Gen Y woman I know said, “Give up blogging! It’s so last year!” I quipped back, “But in the Isle of Man it’s so two years from now!”
Fortunately I’ve seen a lot of evidence over the last quarter that proves me wrong. People and organisations are starting to ‘get’ this whole [...]

The Isle of Man blogosphere growing (slowly but surely). And this week has seen two highlights. First of all, Derek ‘The Bandit’ Richardson’s excellent South African tech podcast, Switched On, featured quite a long discussion about life (and technology) in the Isle of Man.
Also, my blogging friend from the North, Babooshka of the Ramsey Daily [...]

1. Rohit has a right good rant about Kellogg’s Lego Fun Snacks. Why do people hate marketers?
2. Jeremiah gives a interesting explanation of how VCs and tech analysts are similar yet different in their perspectives when engaging with entrepreneurs.
3. Chris Brogan has an excellent discussion going about defining web authority. There’s a lot of comments [...]

Thanks to everyone who came out to today’s Isle of Man Social Media Club Third Thursday lunch. We covered everything from libel to Graffiti to Podcasting to Technorati to the need for a great foodie blog in the Isle of Man. As always I learned a lot. I hope you all did too. See the [...]

Jeff Pulver is encouraging us to take part in Blogday 2008 and I figure why not? It’s a great way for us all to check out different blogs and maybe learn a thing or two. So here are my five blogs (non-PR) to celebrate BlogDay.
1. Special Little People provides aromatherapy products for children. Blogger Janine [...]

I just spent 3.5 hours reading PR blogs. What an excellent way to while away a cold damp Saturday morning. It’s tough to boil it down to just five favourites, but here goes.
1. Dave Jones has posted and invited us to steal his blog stats dashboard template. It seems to be a [...]

Having your ears on really works when it comes to social media. I’m always telling the clients that the at the very least they should be monitoring the blogosphere. I say, “if someone was throwing a dinner party and your customers, staff, shareholders, competitors were all going to be there, wouldn’t you like to hear [...]

Strive Notes is about to undergo a major makeover and in preparation we’re doing a little spring cleaning. We’ve tidied up the blog roll by removing the excess verbiage and have added a few blogs that we’ve been reading for a long time now (should have been added ages ago!).
Watch this space for more change [...]

The people at the Isle of Man International Business School have asked me to run a couple of seminars about social media and how it can benefit organisations. We’re looking at a couple of case studies focusing on customers, shareholders and the local community.
These lunchtime seminars take place on 10 and 17 March are designed [...]

Yes it’s true. We’re toddling along properly now that we’ve turned two years old. Strive Notes was launched in 2 March 2006 as a ‘virtual watercooler’ for Strivers. Since that time, we’ve gone from being a virtual agency to a ‘combination’ model with our virtual consultants being supported by an ‘real’ office of PRs in [...]

It seems that social media has a real ‘ethics in the workplace’ divide on at the moment. At Strive PR we are encouraged to develop Facebook groups, blog and take time to learn from other’s blog posts. Some businesses are taking steps to eliminate access to social media during office hours, but should they also [...]

New premises, same blog… It is however a little lengthy today, seems I have a lot to say!
1. Came across this one about Canadian programme, Breakfast T.V and it made me laugh. Although I obviously didn’t watch it, the principle is the same worldwide. People in media and PR have to be so careful of [...]
