I just saw the Commoncraft video of Twitter in plain English as shown below. It’s beautiful in so many ways.
Firstly, it’s just a pleasure to watch. It’s fun and light and easy.
Secondly, it tells the story to the point and with a lovely light layer of interestingness (Van Halen Rawks!).

“Invite Your Friends, Or Go!”
I just created a Pollenizer account on Twitter and noticed that it was trying really, really hard to make me find or add friends. The skip link was so tiny, and hidden in the top left.

I’m on the Sunshine Coast at a media conference and whilst there are some here at the front edge of technology (Simon Sharwood) there are lots of people here who seem to be quickly falling further behind.
Obviously they aren’t representative of the mass of media, let alone the [...]

I did a presentation this morning to a great bunch of marketing and media people in Australian Government organisations.
One of their biggest challenges is that they want to do more web 2.0 stuff, but the legal eagles won’t let them try and the IT guys won’t help them [...]

Fake Social AdsOriginally uploaded by bigmick
Direct-Advertising, where a web page is built just so it gets search click throughs and then has more ads on it, was a highly profitable abomination. It dilutes the value of the Internet and that’s where I work and play so I don’t like it.
Fake social ads are [...]

Afraid of Super Wall?
Originally uploaded by bigmick
Just noticed this when Super Wall tried again (in vain) to be added by me. Not a chance!

Last night I attended the first ever Sydney Garage for Facebook Developers. It was a reasonably good event, but a little too much seminar and not enough barcamp, although with some Barcamp Sydney vets in the crowd it nearly broke out into a Barcamp.
The crowd was mostly [...]

They don’t come in a box, or bought off the shelves. So how do people find new web applications? A really important question for someone who’s just made one and wants a few more customers, or someone who’s thinking of making one. Notice that [...]

I’m sure you’re like me, 100’s of cool apps come across your desktop every year and so many of them would actually benefit you to use them regularly, yet you don’t. Why is that?
