Someone is wrong on the internet
Arguing with people on the internet may seem like a bad thing, but if you think that then I disagree with you and we could probably have an internet argument about it in the comments. The reason I think it’s good, sometimes at least, is that previously no one would ever challenge people’s prejudices, bigotry, [...]

Kony 2012: Are we victims of a social media stunt?
Last month, like many others, I was completely taken in by the Kony 2012 campaign. I ordered my pledge bracelet and donated online. Disappointingly, my bracelet took nearly a month to arrive, but I just put that down to a very small organisation that had been inundated with orders. For those of you who watched [...]

Project Glass
Somewhere along the way we went from envisioning the future as being a glorious new dawn of technological wonder and social transcendence… … to a post-cold-war dystopian nightmare… My suspicion, my hope, is that the self-evident benefits of technology might help restore some of our former optimism.

Whilst driving to work along Breakfast Creek Road recently I noticed an outdoor billboard for Team Quirk and Brisbane City Council.

Bus signage developed for an anti-smoking campaign for the Health Sponsorship Council (HSC), a government agency in New Zealand, has shown that not all advertising stuff-ups are necessarily a bad thing, as long as you have the right attitude, and a Facebook page! The signage in question was inadvertently placed next to the ‘school’ panel (on [...]

Do I need my own blog?
OK, I’m starting to feel the pressure of not having a personal blog. Writing an occasional BCM Two Cents post is one thing, but it seems just about everyone with an ounce of coolness and cred has a personal blog these days too. (Oh crap, I just used the word ‘ounce’!) I’m talking about really [...]

So what’s your personal brand?
Facebook has officially taken over. Everyone seems to be plugged into the thing all day, every day. Keeping on top of the latest post from your 1,253 nearest and dearest is the aim of the game. But in the sea of crazy sharing (some may say over-sharing) people’s judgement is prone to lapse. When I [...]

Men, It’s Time To Occupy Pinterest
This is a call out to men all over the world: it’s time to Occupy Pinterest. The ladies have invaded this new platform and made it their own. It is time to tear down the frilly curtains and mess the place up a bit. It’s not going to be easy and the task before us is massive. [...]

Twitter gets the jitters
Ever since the reputed birth of democracy in Ancient Greece, the notion of censorship has existed. Plato proposed an ideal state in which, amongst other ideologies, damaging gossip was prohibited and heresy was formally suppressed. In Ancient Rome, only those in positions of power had the right to free speech. Dissidents were deported and books [...]
