The Guardian reports that the Royal Armouries have launched a new site aimed at encouraging young people not to carry knives. No To Knives was created for ‘just’ £85,000 and the idea behind it, according to museum director Peter Armstrong, is

Say No To Knives? Why Not Say No To Websites?
Blog About The News To Get In The News
During my presentation on Viral Marketing at SMX last week, I mentioned the idea of piggy backing trends to gain coverage for your own product or service. Well it just so happens that we had a perfect example of that just last week, and we’ve finally managed to track down the evidence.
When Bebo announced the […]
Viral Marketing Presentation From SMX London
Last Friday saw me present at the inaugural SMX London on the panel Linkbaiting & Viral Marketing. A number of people asked me to share my presentation online, so I’ve uploaded it onto SlideShare. Meanwhile, as you can’t click through from SlideShare presentations, I’ve presented the various individual slides, with notes, below.
For those wanting the […]

BBC On Bebo: Nervous Times For Joost?
It’s a weekday so it must be time for another announcement from a social networking site threatening to revolutionise the world of media & business. Google & Facebook have both had their turns, so now it’s time for Bebo to step up to the plate and in many ways their new offering, Open Media, is […]
Live Twittering (Littering?) From SMX London On Friday
As I’ve mentioned before I’ll be speaking at the inaugural SMX London conference this Friday, and I had been planning to live blog from the other sessions. However, having tried this at SMX Advanced in Seattle back in the Summer, I found that I simply couldn’t type fast enough.
I’ve therefore decided to try something else […]
Facebook Ads: They Won’t Be For Everyone
Last week saw the long-expected anouncement of Facebook’s new advertising platform call, rather snappily, Facebook Ads. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg thinks that it’s going to change the face of advertising, claiming at the launch:
The next 100 years are going to be different for advertisers starting today. For the last 100 years media has been pushed […]
Come To SMX London & Save 10%
Following the sessions that James Little & I spoke at at the recent a4u Expo, I will be speaking at SMX London next week. I’ll be talking about Link Baiting & Viral Marketing on an esteemed panel which includes Jane Copland from SEOmoz & Thomas Bindl.
If Jane’s presentations are anywhere near as engaging as her […]
OpenSocial: It’s All About The Context, Stupid
It’s been almost impossible to miss the news leaking out about the launch of Google’s new OpenSocial platform this week, as the names of those networks involved continued to grow. OpenSocial aims to mimic the success of Facebook’s developer platform (although no-one at Google is likely to admit as much) by allowing developers access to […]
Google Overtakes ITV Revenue: You Heard It Here First
A report by The Times has suggested that Google’s surge in revenues, which we reported recently, means that the search giant has overtaken ITV’s revenues for the first time. Whilst I wouldn’t like to boast, this is exactly what we predicted back in August when we suggested that 2007 would be the year that Google’s […]
