I had one of those moments this morning… Yep, sorry for that mental image. This morning Coldplay live streamed a concert direct from Spain via YouTube (brought [...]

Facebook flooded with news
At lunchtime on Tuesday, Brisbane went from a sunny 29°C day to a stormy, flash flooding mess. It was some crazy weather which caused some major disruption throughout the city. So, how did you find out about the damage caused by this little storm? Was it through a mainstream news outlet? Or was it through [...]

Haiti relief – the digital impact and telcos acting as banks
As each natural disaster happens in the world I watch with interest the ever increasing role that digital and mobile technologies play in driving disaster relief efforts. Take the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti on 12 January. The response for aid was astounding and more rapid than other recent natural disasters. Social networking certainly played [...]

The employer marketing and recruitment advertising sectors were highly sensitive to the economic slowdown, with reduced marketing budgets calling for smarter thinking, greater ROI and diversification across the board.
