One of the more rewarding aspects of business podcasting is when you get an opportunity to interview some interesting and influential communicators and other business people.
That’s a privilege my podcasting partner Shel Holtz and I have been enjoying since we started our For Immediate Release podcast series in 2005.
One such example is the FIR Interview [...]

Later this week, I’m travelling to Dublin to speak at the annual conference of the Public Relations Institute of Ireland on May 9.
As I’ll be in Dublin over the weekend as well, it’s a great opportunity to meet up on Saturday with the Irish community of bloggers and users of Twitter, Jaiku and any other [...]

The tech business news this weekend has been all about the collapse of the Microsoft takeover bid for Yahoo.
Every shade of opinion on what it all means has been offered during the past 24 hours, as the Techmeme bubble can attest.
Here in the UK, it’s been a top headline news item on the hour [...]

As everyone now knows, Boris Johnson won the contest and officially takes on the job at midnight tonight.
Johnson defeated incumbent Ken Livingstone who has been mayor for [...]

The movie version of the hit TV series Sex and the City opens in the UK later next month.
Stars of the show look like being the range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles as much as Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.
Yesterday’s Telegraph Motoring has a terrific feature on how and why Mercedes-Benz got involved.
Choice quotes from Ferdinand [...]

Like most bloggers I know, I tend to link to information resources online when I’m writing about a particular topic.
One reason is simply that linking to an explanation of something provides a reader of your content with an opportunity to find out more, or see something in more depth, without you the blogger having [...]

One of my reflections on Disruptive Media, the conference in Stockholm last week in which I participated, is that being part of an event where everyone speaks a language that you don’t can present a few challenges.
Luckily, this is Sweden I’m talking about where, just as in the Netherlands, people go out of their [...]

One of the more interesting entrants to the Twitter community is DowningStreet, the moniker of a person or persons unknown in the digital communications team at 10 Downing Street.
Daily tweets inform the worldwide Twitter community of events, Prime Minister’s speeches, official announcements, what’s happening, etc.

Being able to get online with your computer when you’re mobile is something that you tend to take for granted, with wifi hotspots almost everywhere.
In my experience, though, it’s sometimes trickier to connect than you might expect, even when there is wifi all around you.

Last week while on a guilt-free shopping trip, I bought a pair of Timberland loafers.
Factory outlet pricing (about a third less than you’d normally pay), so I was quite pleased with my bargain.
What intrigued me, though, was a large label on the box, pictured above, with information about the environmental and community impacts involved [...]
