Last night, as I was leaving the office to go play football, word was spilling out onto the interwebs about a brand new Google service. “Social features!” some said, “Keep your friends updated”, whispered others but, it was only when I saw the sad, inevitable combination of words that make up the phrase “Twitter Killer” did [...]
Around London of late, LG has been rolling out some rather large adverts for its latest low-to-mid range device – the catchily-named LG GD510. The first time I saw the ad, I chuckled, brushed it off and moved on. The second time I saw it, I was with company and asked out loud; “Look! What’s wrong [...]
Last weekend I visited London’s Natural History Museum (the NHM) to take part in a secret filming mission for a new and yet-to-be-made feature film.

Well, that’s not strictly true, but we’ll come back to that part shortly…. The ‘news’, coming in the form of a blog post from marketing chief, Kylie (no – not [...]
POST UPDATED 12/10/09 – Scroll to the bottom of the article for the latest… Vodafone, oh Vodafone, why do you upset me so? Regular readers of my work will know that I have an ongoing love affair with Vodafone UK, or ‘Big Red’ as I affectionately call her. We’ve had our ups, our downs and our fallings-out, but [...]
