Review of the BBC’s New Social Networking Guidelines
My former employer, the BBC, has issued new guidelines for the official use of third party social networking and micro-blogging services. The new guidelines should not be confused with the guidelines issued several years ago on the personal use of blogging and social networking sites by BBC staff but instead are intended to cover official,… read full post

Learning about social media through experimentation
Yesterday, during lunch, I went out and took some photos of the area around Headshift’s London headquarters in Shad Thames, just east of the south end of Tower Bridge.

How to get started blogging
I’m frequently asked, by our clients as well as the MA Journalism students I occasionally teach as part of my role as a Visiting Journalism Fellow at City University, for tips on how to get started blogging. As someone who has several successful blogs of my own, and having developed a blog training course in… read full post
Tumblr: getting interaction right
Tumblris a fascinating example of how to get user generated and communitysites right. Fundamentally it’s a microblogging platform, but I thinkthis sells it very short of the whole picture. It’s succeeding bytaking the interaction patterns that are part of a whole variety ofother services, and creating something which is more than the sum ofthe parts. … read full post
Creating customer communities
Anyone who follows my movements online will have noticed that I’ve been rather quiet recently. This is because I have, for the past month or so, been part of a Headshift team, which at various times drew upon the experience and skills of more than ten people, working to deliver a piece of strategic consultancy… read full post
