It's vital, especially in my current situation, that I stay on top of current trends in all aspects of online content, marketing included. After all, content marketing is something that even traditional journalists have to get to grips with.

It's therefore rather worrying when an e-mail arrives from my friend Bruce, highlighting a key online marketing trend that has completely left me behind. I'm going to be rethinking my approach to collaborative content production after seeing this, I can tell you:

Oh, oh so that's what the whole Friday / Rebecca Black twitter business is about.

There are times when Twitter completely embodies the phrase "making a mountain out of a molehill".

This is quite, quite lovely:




Good viewin' and good readin'. I spoil you with my links
I'm really looking forward to this:



Yes, it's a dramatisation of the founding of Facebook, based on the hugely entertaining book The Accidental Billionaires: Sex, Money, Betrayal and the Founding of Facebook, which I read and enjoyed last year. Highly Recommended.

iTunes icon
Look at this icon.

It's the iTunes icon, as seen in the latest version of the Mac operating system.

Can you see anything wrong with it?

Think about it.

It's made up of two elements: a CD and a representation of music notation. That made perfect sense back when iTunes was principally a way of turning your CDs into music you could store on your computer, before the word iPod had been coined, let alone turned into a cultural icon. 

But now? Now in the age of digital downloads and podcasts and videos and iPods and Apple TVs and digital media generally, doesn't the CD feel, well, a little archaic? Do today's teenagers even associate music with CDs anymore? It's rather like every CD sold in the 80s coming with a little picture of a vinyl LP on it…

Thanks to Kevin from Travolution for posting that.

I've been called away from the urban delights of London Town to the rural idyll of Suffolk on family business, so my account of the Lewisham Bloggers Drinks last Friday will have to wait until tomorrow. My fine photographs of the event are on my iMac in the flat.

However, it it with heavy heart that I report that it was only the second most important bloggy gathering in London over the weekend.

Those satirical slanderers of stagecraft, the West End Whingers, held a party for assorted thesps, writers and bloggers, and had a fine time of it all.

Bet they didn't have any Adnams, though.

(We really should have a blogging journalists' drinks at some point)
