When a blog post becomes an article

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Two weekends a go I embarked on what I thought would be a rather large but tasty blog post reviewing the new Waitrose website which had adopted all manner of social interactions with its users. It honestly began as a blog post but as I got into it and further into the Waitrose website I found that I was no longer writing a blog post, it had become an article. At the point where I had reached in the region of 4000 words I was advised by my good friend David North that it was an article and I should distribute it as such. Thanks David, you are very right. Now I know that I am one to ramble on with my posts and that I seem to get lost in the language that I love and by the time I know it the postings are as long as a shopping run to Asda after a three week holiday. When I am writing a blog post I like to pay it my full attention too so complete it before I start thinking about what the next discussion will be. I have spent the last two weekends working and reworking the article before moving on which is why there has been a gap in my regular postings.

Do you fancy ranting on a live stage?

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Partner in crime, Mark Steadman who has kindly given me a weekly spot of talking absolute rubbish and biting the bit on the latest news on the podcast New Media Junkie has just unveiled a very neat website which will allow you to get in on the action too. So how is this done? Well I am sure like most people you have those annoying things that eat away at your very core. I thought so. Well rather than bottling them up and letting them fester, a public service is at hand.

New Media Junkie

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Friend and colleague, Mark Steadman is a self confessed new media junkie. As a result he has brought together the website ‘New Media Junkie’ which is the home of collective thoughts, silly bollocks and generally interesting emails that are circulating at the time. Mark is a big fan of radio and ever since he was a young lad he has had high aspirations of becoming a radio disc jockey. Unfortunately he is condemned to a life of developing websites. We both must have done something hideously awful in a previous life to have not only been lumped together but to be thrown into such a frustrating sport as hunt the error message problem. Fix the bloody CSS issue in Safari or dream-crusher (Marks’ fond name for FireFox) is another we while away the hours together to. As a creative outlet, the brand spanking NMJ podcast has been born. What a little cracker it is, I have almost forgiven Mark for erasing material we had recorded for the first episode. Mark is however still chastising himself. Nonetheless, Mark has pulled together a cracker of an introduction of what he has to offer. I will however be featuring on the next episode and hopefully (if he will have me) make this a regular occurrence.
