Oh, to win an award!

Jonathan Miller — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:33:00 +0000

Locked by LinkedIn!

Jonathan Miller — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 12:57:34 +0000

Oh dear. Seems I’m a LinkedIn abuser 8-( I’ve just been rapped on the fingers by customer support because I had a few people indicate they don’t know me - and now I can’t invite any more people into my network until “the man” clears me ;-( Here I thought I was being proactive by importing [...]

Here comes another Tech Bubble. The lamest and funniest Video - just for people like us

Jonathan Miller — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 21:09:40 +0000

As we near the end of the year some of us reflect on the overheating (some say) valuations of tech and new media stocks. Others (like Vinny and me, lol) are eagerly beavering away to reach the same! So, thanks to Adam Viener for cutting me down to size an sending me on this blast from the past Billy Joel warped song - which those of us in this industry who are actually over 35 may remember! At least we can still laugh at ourselves! It's absolutely worth the download ;-)

Andre Clements — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 06:49:46 +0000

What would you do if you knew you were loosing $4.5million? wireless.itworld.com - Cash isn’t king: Apple limits iPhone purchases That’s what Apple are allegedly loosing in unlocked iPhones. I don’t see Apple getting much sympathy for this but it makes for an interesting predicament. On the one hand they have obligations to their marketing partners - [...]

Is Facebook a predator’s nirvana?

Jonathan Miller — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 08:49:26 +0000

I toss sheep Passionately and giggle when a cow is flung my way! I dish scotch out to everyone [...]

go direct

Jonathan Miller — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 07:11:00 +0000

I broke the cardinal rule for international travel. Always go direct (same rule applies to marketing actually!) They say its only once you’ve lost what you had that you value it. Right now I deeply value SAA and their direct flights to the US! Would have saved me 4 hours and a queue in Heathrow!

I’ve got the ACSA airport blues

Jonathan Miller — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:10:20 +0000

Sitting at OR Tambo airport on the tarmac again on my way to CJU in Santa Barbara. Due to the airports company of south africa’s apparent incompetence the flight plan has been lost for the BA flight to Heathrow! So, there’a biiiig plane full of fuel, hundreds of angry passengers and a visibility frustrated crew all waiting [...]

Is Facebook killing the blogosphere?

Andre Clements — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 13:15:01 +0000

Or is Facebook, Twitter MySpace and the like nothing other than the blogosphere in a slightly different guise? - What does it mean for those of us who want something more out of cyberspace than friend requests (’uhm… didn’t I date her or something back in 1996…?’) or casting our avatars in the pot with those [...]
