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.

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.

Insert ‘Tweadline’ here
Twhat up tweeps? Are you sick of those hipster twicksters making up their own twords whenever they reference anything to do with Twitter? Twexting. Tweeting up. Tweethearts. Twoublemakers.

Happy Birthday to Us
It’s been around 12 months since we launched this blog. In that time we’ve explored a whole bunch of stuff. We’ve talked about marketing brilliance and blunders. We’ve showcased our work.

Don’t suck … blow
In the good old days when TV spots were cheap and Colgate-Palmolive seemed to have unlimited budget, a style of advertising emerged under the banner of, “It’s so bad it’s good”.

There’s a lot of dust about on Twitter
For those of you in Brisbane or Sydney, you may have thought you lived on Mars today with the eerie clouds of red dust over our skies – in fact both “Dune” and “Total Recall” have been referenced several times.
