The end is nigh?

Posted by: Sarah on: August 6, 2009

So updates on my blog have gone decidedly downhill over recent weeks well who am I kidding since I’ve been back from travelling.
Partly because I’ve been working so much but partly because since I’ve been back I’ve found it hard to really not so much care, but just find time to talk about Social Media [...]

Last Week’s News in 2 Minutes

Posted by: Sarah on: January 27, 2009

In a completely un-internet like style I am going to give a quick overview of the news stories that I was meant to blog about like week but had no time to.
So instead of reporting the news in real time and looking to the future for which the interent is credited for I’m going to [...]

Kazakhstan’s Goverment Gets Blogging

Posted by: Sarah on: January 13, 2009

This story popped up yesterday on my Reuters ticker which I didn’t really pay much attention to until I unintentionally clicked on it today and so thought I’d have a look. What I really like about this story is that the PM of Kazakhstan seemed genuinely enthusiastic about communicating with the people and understanding what [...]

Happy New Year!

Posted by: Sarah on: January 5, 2009

Happy 2009 all! I feel terrible for being so slack with my posting over the festive period but it happened to co-inside with my laptop having a few issues and dying on me so I have been without access, ( I know I could have gone down to the internet cafe but it was Christmas!).

Getting It Wrong & Right at the Same Time

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 [...]

The Fear

Posted by: Sarah on: November 22, 2008

This weekend I have decided to behave myself, mainly due to actually having no money which rules out a lot of options but that after a few too many glasses of vino at lunch yesterday I decided that to try and redeem my conscience by spending the weekend sorting my life out.
I was catching up [...]

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 [...]

The Nicest Man in Blogging?

Posted by: Sarah on: October 30, 2008

Due to the fast pace nature of this industry and my current knowledge in this field (just over 6 months) I often read some of the more authoritative blogs for suggestions and learnings while running campaigns. Now and again I email the authors if I have a specific questions and every time I have had [...]
