Social web & social media, consultancy, training and advice from a flâneur of the internets. Blogger, writer, broadcaster and runner of Birmingham: It's Not Shit. I also do the odd bit of art.
Does a festival want to hear about my theories of conversational pyschogeography and how I coerced people into spending eleven hours on a bus that stops where it starts? Quite a few people did, and even stopped to ask questions at the end.
Here are the slides and my recording of the audio for the I gave on Saturday at Greenbelt.
Thanks to the wonderful guys at Rhubarb Radio (where I also do the Saturday breakfast show, plug plug) the improvised talk on my personal journey towards communities online from WxWM2 is now available as audio. Not only is it the full talk, and good quality, but you don’t have to look at me waving my arms about — and since there were no slides that’s got to be a good deal.

This coming Tuesday (21st April) I’m one of the speakers at a “Media Skills Masterclass” for the creative industries. I’ll be talking about the differences between getting mainstream media to talk about your product and building conversation around it online. In particular: “why listening to “the internet” is more important than publishing”.
There with me will be:
Ian Taylor, Commercial Director and Kurt Jacobs, Head of PR, Marketing Birmingham
Marverine Cole, Broadcast Journalist Sky News
Austen Duffy, Director FunF Media
Anna Blackaby, Creative Industries Editor Birmingham Post
If you or your organisation needs advice about how to handle the social web (or would like it done for you), contact me to discuss how I can help. I'm based in Birmingham, UK.
