It has always been the little victories that mean so much more around here.
One happened tonight in the City of Lichfield.
Here it is… http://thelichfieldblog.co.uk/2010/03/18/council-leader-concerned-by-plans-for-new-rail-line-through-lichfield/
You have to scroll down to see it. But it’s the banner ad. For these boys… http://www.lichfieldpc.co.uk/
A computer shop in Lichfield.
Run, I believe, by a lad called Nick Brickett. Who, I suspect, [...]
We have, for quite some time now, been treading a similar path to MrG.
Only difference being that whilst Google’s road forward is a ten-lane LA highway; ours is far more of an ill-trod, mountain path.. with little more than one hardy, Himalayan goat to have gone before us.
And we tend to keep our gobs shut; [...]

It’s been a while; been ‘on the road’ of late… jobs to do, people to see, family to bury…
All of which means that I’ve missed much of the ‘buzz’ that accompanied Google’s latest concoction; stepping onto the social media toes of both FaceBook and Twitter. Or not, as the case may be.
I have to be [...]

As one or two of you might know, we have developed something of an interest of late in events in Northumberland.
There is, after all, a chance that the initial contours of the UK’s new media landscape might be drawn out in the rolling vales beneath Hadrian’s Wall…

Whether by accident or design, the North-East of England is a very interesting place to be now media-wise.
That particular penny has taken a little while to drop, but events of the last 36 hours have only strengthened my feeling that over the course of the next 6-9 months, Newcastle, Sunderland and the great English-Scottish borderlands [...]

There have been several interesting posts of late; all of which on their own merited deeper consideration in this neck of the woods.
Alas, my time hasn’t been wholly my own of late; only kid duties have called.
But this was great; like really great…

It is a block that we walked around many moons ago…

And in the 15 months since, my knowledge of all things SEO hasn’t improved. I remain pretty wedded to this notion that if the content is good enough, your community will find you; you’ll find a place around their campfire provided you add something of [...]

I transcribe this only for the hard of time…
But, natch, for those with more time than most on their hands, we link…

The fact that one of Jeff Jarvis’ guests is Debra Galant ‘the Queen of Hyper-local’ via her www.baristanet.com site sparked an interest; as, of course, did the subject matter – whether ultra-local might prove [...]
For all-too obvious reasons it seemed a mite remiss to let this pass without some sort of longer comment.
As easy as it is these days to hope that a couple of well-placed tweets complete with a six-word quote will suffice… That said, twas the power of Twitter that led me to said piece. So thanks [...]
