- Italy vs Scotland, chez Tosh
Mrs Tosh, making a rare midweek appearance at home, is in uncompromising mood during the televised Italy vs Scotland match. “Oooh, is that the Hearts goalie?” she asks. Missing my disapproving mumble, she presses on.
“I never knew he was Scottish - he doesn’t look it. Who’d have thought he was Scottish! With those muscles… [...]
- Wanted: video and audio ninjas
[Updated! Now with working interweb links! Thanks to m'colleague Nik Silver]
I’m pleased to report this blog has had some success on the recruitment front, so here goes again… and this time, it’s for two of my teams.
You might have seen the story in Media Guardian today… We’re looking for an entire video desk - [...]
- Twitter: a modest prediction
Update: hours after writing this post, Twitter made a technical comeback and is now singing sweetly, thus invalidating all that follows. Careful reading of the following post will make it clear that, at no point, did I say this was actually my view, or belief about what would unfold, thus leaving my 100% correctness about [...]
- Kelner’s just not listening to the right people
Simon Kelner, interviewed in MediaGuardian this week, carefully maintains a near Luddite position on his paper’s digital presence. It’s hardly surprising; this is the newspaper company whose chief executive stated, almost exactly a year ago, that newspaper journalists are incompatible with the “instant news” required online.
Kelner doesn’t concede much from that position - there’s mention [...]
- Video on the net
I see the weather’s closing in… so I’m off to California. San Francisco through the fog of jetlag on Sunday, Video on the Net the rest of the week in San Jose. Drop me a line if you’re around and fancy a pint of Anchor Steam.
- Don’t sweat on syndication?
Stuart Brown asks: why is RSS adoption so abysmal amongst UK newspapers online? I think he really means why is adoption by UK online newspaper readers so abysmal, but you know what he means. He clearly sees it is a Bad Thing that we’re not able to drive up subscriptions because, obviously, that means people [...]
- Londonist’s look inside the new Guardian HQ
I’m a bit late to this, but Londonist scooped us all by getting a look inside Guardian News & Media’s new HQ at King’s Cross. That’s one of their pictures, right.
The redevelopment around King’s Cross is huge; for those who don’t know the city, it’s a pretty rundown bit of town, and is one giant [...]
- Twitter crosses the tuna chasm
Ross Mayfield offers an insightful analysis of Twitter’s growth. [Twitter is the service that lets you send short text messages between you and your friends, via the web or mobile phone. It powers my "last spotted" message on the top right of this page. Do sign up and say hello].
Ross says Twitter has “tipped the [...]
- Notes for 8 March 2007
1. £15m of good news for the Guardian, following on from more of it earlier in the week (blogged at length by Jeff Jarvis, who I’ve enjoyed having a few good chats with while he’s been around this week. His enthusiasm is infectious).
2. CiF saves a cat - you wouldn’t see that kind of [...]
- Virgin and BSkyB lock horns; nobody wins
The squabble between BSkyB and Virgin Media - aka NTL/Telewest
- is entertaining, even if one suspects it comes near the end of an era
where owning big distribution pipes (as both companies do) is in
fashion. Sky wants Virgin to pay it more to carry Sky programming.
Virgin says the Sky content isn’t worth more. Sky pulls the [...]
