As a self confessed social/digital media groupie I attended MODM4 last night at the Riverland Bar on the side of the Yarra River, food and drinks were provided by Simon Chen from EightBlack. Many of the “regulars” were in attendance good to catch up with them, also met a few new people which is evenContinue reading “MODM4 was last night”

Lost my readers?
I have noticed a very interesting occurrence since my blog died, well actually the hosting provider disappeared, my readers seem to have disappeared as well. Not sure if it is a timing thing, an issue with the feed, if my Googlejuice has dried up, the stars are out of alignment or if was something IContinue reading “Lost my readers?”
Happy 3rd Blogoversary and reflections.
Today it is 3 years since I started my blog over on Blogger, before moving it to my own domain name using WordPress. Over those 3 years I have written 1,012 post and had 1,054 real comments, not to mention several hundred thousand spam comments! Although the Blogger blog was not my first entrance intoContinue reading “Happy 3rd Blogoversary and reflections.”
Blog is back!!
Just a quick note to apologize to everyone who reads this blog or subscribes to the feed. We have been offline for the last 4 days due to a hosting issue, basically the old host skipped town. I have moved host, restored my backups (over 400mb of compressed data) and finally got things back up.Continue reading “Blog is back!!”

The May issue covered a very topical area on Gen Y in theContinue reading “Gen Y in the Workforce”

The way we search is in some ways not surprising. Proportionally, Australians do the most searches for meat pies, Aussie Rules, sunshine, sunburn, sea change, air conditioning, beer, Torana, snake, waterContinue reading “Google searching trends”
Australia Top 100 blogs, I’m in the list
A bit of self promotion here. The updated Top 100 Australian blogs is out and for some strange reason I have made #38 very surprised! Behind the likes of Ben Barren and Duncan Riley (no surprises there), but ahead of Trevor Cook #43, Frank Arrigo #89, WTF?? Must be a mistake in the calculations. I’mContinue reading “Australia Top 100 blogs, I’m in the list”
Google Australia has a blog
Just a quick post to say that Google Australia has a blog, cool, (via Ben Barren and others). As they say in the intro post Google Australia has been an important site outside of the mothership. We’re proud that Google Australia was one of the first international Google offices and is now a hub forContinue reading “Google Australia has a blog”
