I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted my last blog update about Microsoft Office 2010, and the excitement of having a web-based MS Office suite sitting on the cloud.

A crazy month… since I last blogged…
Is FaceBook making it harder for itself?
So… it’s clear from all of the recent FaceBook activity, whether it be the actual dev changes, the presentations or the general PR coming out of the FaceBook camp that they have a little Twitter envy.

Skittles anyone?
So… there’s been a lot of hype throughout the Blogosphere and Micro-Blogosphere around the Skittles.com social media extravaganza. It’s a very brave move, but Skittles have pretty much hijacked their own .com domain and replaced it with a small widget that links to:

It seems that constantly the lines between reality and the virtual world are blurring. Recently their [...]

Facebook, has just released their Facebook Connect platform, that will allow their users to login and access to other sites from within Facebook… as per [...]
Social Media? or Social Platform?
I thought this post by Eisenberg hit the nail on the head…
I’ve copy-pasted below some of the tips he lists on how to make the most out of Social Media Optimisation (SMO)… but I think the main point for me was that the strength and uniqueness of Social Media is that it’s not ‘media’ at [...]
