And for professional people in the Isle of Man that means LinkedIn. I’ve been on LinkedIn since early 2006, but it wasn’t [...]

I’ve noticed of late that my Facebook is getting weird. I don’t mean just the new layout. It’s the activity I’m seeing and my community as a whole, that are getting a bit strange. Seeing friends from high school, college, different places I’ve worked over the years alongside my kids, cousins and drinking [...]

I’ve been trialling a new feedreader this week, and while I can’t say too much about it yet because it’s pre-beta, one thing is for certain, I certainly have been getting a gander at a broader range of Internet content as a result. This is reflected in this week’s top 5.

Each month, I write up a round up of the previous month’s most popular posts on Strive Notes. Interestingly, this month only one of the fave five relates to PR…the rest are tech stories. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm. Perhaps we’re not engaging in the PR conversation the way we should be? I’ll think [...]

Last week my daughter pinged me on Facebook. ‘Check out LinkedIn, a kind of Facebook for business enthusiasts,’ she said.
It made me smile that she’s pegged me as a ‘business enthusiast’, but she had reminded me about the very first online social network I’d joined back in 2006. Back then I’d joined up and quickly [...]

I’ve been off jet setting again. This time however, I ditched the summer sun and headed for a new experience on the snowy slopes. Amazingly, I returned in one piece.

This week I posted a record number of items to del.icio.us. There is just so much good original content and informative debate going on. It was hard to choose my favourites. But here they are in no particular order.
1. Steve Rubel has an interesting post about how Wikipedia articles on the top US advertisers are among the most highly ranked pages in [...]

I joined LindkedIn, the online social network about a month ago. Since then, I’ve seen Stuart Bruce and Teresa Valdez Klein both writing about it on their blogs. So I thought I’d write an update on how my Linkedin experience has been so far.
I joined on 29 July 2006 and have sent invites to about [...]

A friend in the US sent me an invite to join LinkedIn this week, and I decided to go for it. It’s an online network of 6.5 million professionals around the world representing 130 industries…a MySpace for grownups if you like.
The idea is that people hook up online to build networks for business referrals, job [...]
