Once upon a Twitter time

By December 19 2012, 10:48 am Leave a comment

Earlier this week we learned that Twitter has started letting its users download all of their tweets. This feature will allow people to browse tweets month by month and search their entire archives (Stephen Fry might need to hire a team of analysts for that!). Currently just a small number of users are able to test this new function, but this could be rolled out soon if testing is successful. Sadly I’m not one of the ’chosen ones’, but according to those who have tried it, a ‘request your archive’ button comes up on your Twitter’s setting page and once you activate it, you get a link to download your archive as a html or csv file.

Just how private are your privacy settings?

Even with the most private of privacy settings there’s a wealth of information known about us without us even realising it. An article in the New Scientist sheds more light on the information social networks know about us which they are reluctant to reveal.

Will i am – Well he is …….

The ratings war between BGT and the Voice took a new twist over the last couple of weeks.

It wasn’t the burning question of, are the audience behind the Voice Judges missing the faces of the super stars now they have turned around ? protected by chair backs higher than Fergies at Man Utd, or the glorious sight of Simon trying to work out if there is money to be made in the future of the performing dog,a dog that dances but doesn’t howl a tune or even say sausage’s; hard to see a future there.

Don’t Be a Bad Audience

You wanted to be a participant, not just a viewer. You wanted your telly to be a two-way street. You wanted to be part of a new TV generation obsessed with the total connected experience. Sitting back wouldn’t do.

That’s fine.

But you can’t have the benefits without the responsibility.

It’s long been held that in theatre you need three things working together for the magic to come – the play, the actors, the audience.

Appropriately enough, I came across Twitter’s spoof recruitment video via a Tweet.

If you haven’t seen it, watch it now because it’s brilliant: At Twitter, The Future is You!

Social media peer pressure, or why I might be watching X Factor this weekend

By November 25 2011, 4:06 pm 2 Comments

I’ve always considered myself an independently minded person. I thought that rushing to see what the buzz is all about was for the weak. X Factor, not my cup of tea. Siri? Why would I need that? Win a year’s supply of tea from Tetley? What’s the catch?

Too much of a good thing

By November 22 2011, 2:00 pm Leave a comment

There are so many things that I could be writing about the 2011 John Lewis Christmas ad right now. I could talk about how everyone’s been all a-Twitter about it. I could tell you about how everyone at Ipsos ASI has been arguing about whether it’s a tear jerker or a thriller. How we’ve passed around versions of it to make your head (or your chair) spin. How, despite all this debate or perhaps because of it, it has been chosen as the ‘Ad of the Week’ by our team. I could reference the ‘what’s in the box’ debate.
