  • "Look Ma, no slides!": The Art of Speaking Without Slides

    Last night, I gave a talk at Cambridge Mobile Apps Group (yeah, it’s a mouthful, I know!) about marketing your own app with no budget. When I arrived at the venue, Tony, the event host, shot over to say hi.…

  • BarCamb 3: Bringing Cambridge together with geekery

    On Monday morning, my arms, legs and brain felt like jelly. There was a sleeping bag and some schwag strewn across the living room. And I couldn’t stop smiling. Must’ve been the morning after a BarCamp! For those who don’t know,…

  • SocialMediaCamp London 09: A Few Lessons Learned

    New mothers apparently say that after they hold their newborn in their arms, they forget almost all the pain of the laborious process (literally!) that preceded. I think this week, I can see what they mean. On Saturday, April 25th,…

  • Events Galore: SMCLondon & Cambridge Geek Nights

    Since organising the first SocialMediaCamp London in October, I’ve been trying to convince myself that I don’t have the event planning bug. No no no, I don’t need to spend time organising events. Must focus on running my new business.…

  • SocialMediaCamp London 09: Rallying the troops!

    Earlier this week, I announced that the planning for the second SocialMediaCamp London was beginning to take shape. In October 2008, 100 geeks, creatives and social media’ites gathered for the first SMCLondon, which was both a success and a hell…

  • SocialMediaCamp London: A Look Back At The Many Themes

    Do you ever look back at past achievements and feel yourself swell with pride because, with hindsight, you now realise how well you and others did? This morning, poking around Flickr, I came across Tom’s photo of the schedule board…

  • The BarCamp Virgin's Guide: Making the most of your first BarCamp

    What is a BarCamp? Wikipedia’s description is “BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols,…

  • Time to pick your favourite SXSW 2009 panels

    It’s barely been a few months since I’ve stopped clap-trapping on about how utterly awesome my first SXSW experience was, but yes, I’m already talking about the NEXT South by SouthWest. I realise it isn’t until March 2009 and that…
