Just seen this fun application in one of my RSS feeds and I thought I’d share it with you all, the voice quality is a bit robotic on some of the emoticarolers as you might expect with text to speech conversion software, but hey this is the festive period and I thought it [...]
Twitter’s “What are you doing?”
Posted in Uncategorized on December 8, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I’ve been thinking about Twitter’s question “What are you doing?”
Is this question really relevant anymore?
I’m going to say that it is no longer relevant as people are now using Twitter for a whole range of things and not neccesarily answering the question.
I think they should just have the phrase “Tweet Away”.
What do you think? Let [...]

This post was inspired by Read The Blog: You’re Fired (opens in a new window).

I agree with most of what has been written in the post, which might be a little bit strange to some people coming from myself as a “Gen Xer”.
However the subject about Transparency, don’t get me wrong, it’s great having [...]

Has everyone got their Christmas shopping done?

Automakers and Corporate Jets
Posted in Uncategorized on December 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
What on earth were the chief execs of the “Detriot Three” thinking when they flew into town in their corporate jets?
If you are coming with cap in hand then eat some humble pie and get folks on your side, don’t bite the hand that is about to feed you, you could end up going hungry.
Why [...]
