« Previous EntriesDopplr - is anyone part of the top 100?
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Check out this post this morning from the folks at Dopplr. I’m not cool enough to be invited to anything like this, and to be honest, I am no global traveler (would like to be, but still working on it). I am more interested in seeing what the marketing/PR potential is for a Web 2.0 […]
NPV and the Non-profit world
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007If you we’re following me on Twitter earlier today, you would have been barraged with thoughts and ramblings about using Net Present Values to gauge how successful a program may be in non-profit world. (Now THATS blogging gold, I hear you say!).
Regardless, I thought I would give it a shot. Of course, Net Present Values […]
Documents so far..think free or something else?
Monday, September 24th, 2007I thought I might open this one up…I had an email from Ross (so far, commenter #1!) outlining that whilst the thinkfree.com site was alright, Scribd might be a better and more social, web2.0 option for sharing docs. Looking at their site, they seem to have better intentions, namely creating the worlds largest open source […]
A stranger, from the outside!!! Pixar and the Brand Me world…
Monday, September 24th, 2007Yes, continuing on from yesterdays post, I thought it would be worth talking about the Pixar a little more.
From the Mavericks at Work book I wrote about before, there was quite a good section which looked at some of the inner workings of the film company (valued at somewhere between 7-10 billion USD!).
“It’s fine to […]
Pixar - 20 years of animation
Sunday, September 23rd, 2007Today, I finally got the chance to visit the Guggenhiem and Pixar, 20 Years of Animation, exhibits at NGV and Fed Square. The Guggenhiem was fantastic, and well worth a visit if you get the chance before it ships of-shore again on the 7th of October…but the real gold was to be found at the […]
Greasing the Pole??? Leadership and having that “successful career”
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007Found a great article all, written by a guy taking a retrospective look at how his career progressed, verses his much more ‘networked focused’ co-worker. The article basically looks at the idea of substance, and I think highlights just what the better leaders of today have - a certain sense of humility and self-esteem derived […]
Micro Sites - some thoughts on new media and blogging
Friday, September 21st, 2007Not to long ago, I had the priveledge to hear Nick Cummins from the Sputnick Advertsing Agency about social media and the new ways they are generating word of mouth excitment around people’s brands. (eg, like this) It came to mind today as I was in a meeting earlier in the morning about how we […]
Street Lights 2
Thursday, September 20th, 2007So, little more than 24 hours since I first posted about the street chandelier, I happened to be in the area just a couple of hours ago and got the treasured ‘night’ shot. lol - here it is…
Street Lights in the City
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007Quick one today - check out this ’street chandelier,’ which I saw being installed in a small lane off little bourke street a few days ago. Similar to the ‘hanging safe’ that used to be just of Tatersals lane.
Very cool - then I realised it was a council initiative…lol
Still though - I like it…Can someone […]
What I’m reading at the moment: Mavericks at Work
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007I thought I would post what I am reading at the moment, seeing as I suggested last post that I havn’t read the Craig Hassed book yet.
I’m currently reading Mavericks at Work: Why the most original minds in business win. The title is okay, if not a little wanky. But, the content is quite good. […]
