Random Friday Post

Posted by: Sarah on: November 28, 2008

Its going to be a bit of an emotional day today. Two of my favourite people are leaving! Not only are they amazing, more importantly they are my tea buddies, so as well as missing out on the valuable banter I have to either being a tea drinking loner or start recruiting for replacements.

Posted by: Sarah on: November 26, 2008

I found an interesting post that was brought to my attention yesterday on the e-consultancy site. About a month ago they wrote a story questioning whether Nokia was running a suspicious SEO linking campaign or if someone was out to sabotage the brand with excessive linking.
The full article is here which outlines the possible scenarios [...]

Social Media Gets Intellectual

Posted by: Sarah on: November 25, 2008

Compared to other forms of digital media such as display and search, social media isn’t yet as  accountable, and as it is still in comparison, in its infancy there are less learnings and studies around the subject.

All of A Twitter

Posted by: Sarah on: November 24, 2008

Since I have begun posting about Twitter it feels like the world is now revolving around Twitter with every where I look another Twitter anouncement.

Posted by: Sarah on: November 23, 2008

Now we’re officially in a recession and my shameful bank balence is unlikely to be boosted by a pay rise any time soon, I have been spending more time improving my limited cooking skills in an effort to save money, be more healthy and aware of what is actually going in my food.
My creations are [...]

I was catching up [...]

Bras for Boys

Posted by: Sarah on: November 21, 2008

I know I have already used my random post allowence for the week but this was just too good not to share!
A Japanese online lingerie company have started selling bras for cross-dressing men and have instantly become a hit with over 300 sold since they were launched 2 weeks ago.
They’re avaliable in Black Pink and [...]

More Twitter Madness

Posted by: Sarah on: November 21, 2008

While reviewing the headlines this morning I saw this article on Tech Crunch – ‘Stalk that Twitterer‘.
Readers of my blog will be aware of my aversions to Twitter and how I will be soon reluctantly signing up to keep people up to date every time I go to the loo or what ever else I’m [...]

Blogladi Bloglada

Posted by: Sarah on: November 19, 2008

Last night I attended my first Social Blogging event arranged through ‘The London Bloggers Meetup Group‘. Not quite sure what to expect I dragged a couple of friends along who also had blogs for support/ protection.
The event was at the Corney & Barrow on Jewry St (a nice bar – although not cheap) and Melanie [...]
