Some Fascinating Stats About Twitter
I still remember the early days of Twitter. Well, sorta’. I got on in 2007, after the SXSWi hype-storm that year introduced it the tech world. And it was a different place then: replies were invented by users, and you could see all of them; a 100 followers seemed like a lot!; and no-one outside… Continue reading Some Fascinating Stats About Twitter

Theme Blogs: When Everything Sucks, Nothing Does
I’ve always been a fan of the internet’s perpetual refusal to be governed by an ‘official’ body. The internet today, as I mentioned last week, largely resembles the American Wild West: player pianos, a keen interest in poker, bandits, and a whole lotta rules routinely broken by the people, whenever it suits them.
