I just received an email this morning from Mike Atherton leading me to this page - Sunderland Universities weblog homework.
I'm listed as a blog that should be read and discused?! I am both honoured and amused in equal measure. Thanks to Tony Nicholson for taking my blogs on, and giving this comment:
Cool, huh?! :)
Thanks Tony!
It's an apt reminder that everything you do and say online is likely to be studied and scrutinised at some stage. It's also reminded me that it's important to bring a mix of not just what you want to write, but what's interesting to the table.
Have a read of the post, and the findings of the other students too, it's very insightful.

I went on Thayer Driver's blog (thayer18.livejournal.com) and found the mix of professional and personal quite interesting. At first I was quite sceptical if it would work or not, but as I read on the interesting mix proved a good interaction for her social networking friends. The first ever social networking Mexican Wave hade 15 comments in the last five minutes and her other blogs enabled her to promote the chinwag work that she does. It is important to create a good relationship with fellow proffessionals so I think if I ever get a professional working blog going I will do the same mix... but perhaps not as extreme!

It worked! This pleases me greatly. Thank you everyone for indulging me. The super cool thing is it is carrying on whilst I write this, and even people I haven't heard of are @Thayer Mexican Waving :-D

Saw this on b3ta and just had to share. I snorted my non-alcoholic beverage (yes, I'm grumpy I can't have wine tonight) out my nose at the "When a mommy and daddy love each other very much" page :-)
Mommy, why is there a server in the house?

It's just left the States, so hopefully I'll have it before I fall off the wagon ;-)
I have to post this. I just have to.
I was doing some work today, editing a report on recruitment within the digital sector. There's some really great stuff in there, and it was a lot of fun having an excuse to pore over the findings in minute detail whilst whitling the report into a succinct version.
One paragraph blew me away. I can't resist, I have to share it:
"Generally, companies reported higher numbers of people joining their digital departments than leaving them with fewer companies having no people leaving than having no people joining and more companies reporting that more than six people joined that reported that more than six people left. Therefore the majority of companies have grown in number of staff in 2007. "
Isn't that just superb? Honestly I don't think I could write somethnig like that even if I tried. I'm genuinely impressed.
If you're interested, I changed it to, "Most companies reported higher numbers of people joining their digital departments than leaving them."
