Some thoughts on good meetings – Jon Hickman's posterous

"love the fact that "good meeting" is an emergent meme on Twitter: the phrase is seen by a lot of people on Twitter as an empty platitude, the twitter equivalent of saying "er"." I did have a good meeting with Mr Hickman the other day, too. – Some thoughts on good meetings – Jon Hickman's […]

Chinese Twispers

No recriminations or anything, just an interesting thing that happened this morning on the Twitter. I was listening to Radio Five when the sad news that David Cameron’s son had died broke.

Twitter Cartoon Day

Normally my twitter followers are a, fairly, sane bunch of humans – but today I’ve been watching then all turn to toons. Today has been declared ‘Twitter Cartoon Day’ – “Brighten up the lives of your fellow Twitterers today by changing your avatar (picture) to a cartoon character.”
