Congrats to you Mark. Great news

New New Thing
After a 9 month break I’ve decided to leave behind my life of leisure for a new roller coaster adventure of fun, inspiration and excitement with the good folks of BERG London. If you have been hiding under a rock for the past couple of years then you might not already know that BERG are one o...
Amen to that

Failure
Those blog posts with carefully crafted advice about link building make me want to puke. Yeah, you read that right. They say Hell is paved with good intentions, so I suppose they mean well. A few neat steps and you're on your way to posting your links everywhere -- and for free. All it takes i...
Thanks for the mention Gavin. Hope all's good with you :-)

Five Must-Read Posts from Last Week
This week we seem to be asking a lot of questions. We seem to be challenging the orthodoxy, digging into the details and throwing various cats amongst the squadrons of social media pigeons. There are questions of style and of substance. Questions of tactics and strategy. And even a walk in the h...
Nicely put - when I talk about agility I always make the point about how its not just about velocity or productivity gain (which it is often taken to be), but about responsiveness. This is a point, I think, that many miss. So, a timely post, well articulated

Reverse the Polarity
For the less geeky among you, 'reversing the polarity' is a deus ex machina device commonly deployed in Star Trek, Doctor Who and other sci-fi, especially where forcefields and advanced energy drives are common. It's the last minute solution that always solves problems - because, for some rea...
Nicely put. I've always said (to anyone that'll listen) that one of the greatest things about blogging and being on twitter is the amazing people that you get to meet through the connections you make. People I never would have otherwise met. Thankfully, years later, that is still happening for me.

Why Connections Happen in Real Life
A couple of years ago, when I spoke at a Mediabistro Circus conference at the New York Times Center, I met a roster of really interesting people. Among the speakers were Tim Ferriss, the event keynote who geeked us up on search and evergreen content, and Anil Dash, who was on a panel later in ...
Some excellent points here Valeria. I really like the way you've framed this. It chimes nicely with some of the things I've been thinking/writing about lately. Great post

Leading Change
“We are living through the age of disruption. You can’t do big things if you’re content with doing things a little better than everyone else or a little differently than how you did them before. In an era of hyper-competition and non-stop dislocation, the only way to stand out from the crowd i...
I tend to agree - there's huge value in the nuances and detail of written pieces that you would miss completely. I can see the thinking behind an app like this, but its like trying to squeeze a three-dimensional thing into becoming one-dimensional

Utility = Laziness
In the world of information overflow and lack of time to process everything that hits us, this app may seem a great invention. TLDR is an online application that can turn long articles into short summaries. Just paste the URL of any article into TLDR.it and it will summarize the article for you....
Hi Ana - just to let you know that this has been shortlisted on the Post Of The Month vote I run over on Only Dead Fish http://bit.ly/9O29GX

the problem of strategy
Once upon a time, everybody knew the answer to the question of strategy. But, don't be fooled: this fact has nothing to do with strategists' definitions of their own discipline; it actually has everything to do with an environment where strategies were executed. That environment was really p...

Go Slow
I came across a blog the other day entitled the Slow Media Manifesto and after an appropriate period of contemplation it left me with a warm glow. This modest fourteen point agenda from a group of German academics, argues that after a decade of intense consumption of ever speedier and i...
Ah yes. I went to the RSA to hear David Harvey give this talk, started making notes and then had to stop because I was concentrating so hard on some the big ideas he talks about here. It's a great talk isn't it? And the RSA have done a great job with their 'Animate' series
