Somehow I seem to be a social media expert and evangelist. Try mentioning twitter to me and not having me wax lyrical about how great a communication enabler it is. I dare you.

Time to read: 3 minutesToday I attended a conference run by Digital Doughnut. I knew they did digital, I knew they were related to marketing, and I did meet people who worked in the field.

Time to read: 2 minutesI’ve been so terrible at writing blog posts, and I love taking photos.

And he finds himself periodically wanting to change […] continue reading »

Time to read: 3 minutesI still remember walking around Hursley, following a fellow tweep who wanted to introduce me to some awesome IBMers he knew. What i did not expect, was for him to use my twitter handle, @eurydice13, as part of the introduction.

Time to read: 4 minutesSo last week I was kindly requested to take photographs of some of our senior executives, so they could update their various online profiles, both internal and external. I brought my camera in and diligently grabbed a series of portraits. I then cleaned them up, worked some Picasa magic (we don’t have Photoshop here), cropped, […] continue reading »
