Gordon's Republic - #Bobt - The power of negative thinking - Malcom White's presentation

Krow founder Malcolm White's presentation at the Battle of Big Thinking won him The Big Thinking in Planning session and was one of the most well received on the day. It was packed: not one big idea but 15. Here are the slides. Full coverage/links here.

Dave Trott's Blog - Why brand-planning is not as good as planning

Stephen King at JWT and Stanley Pollitt at BMP came up with the idea of Planning at roughly the same time.

George Parker - Murdoch makes waves. Microsoft provides paddle. Google sails into the sunset!

With all the talk and media hype about the Wizened of Oz (Rupert Murdoch) deciding to put Google out of business and throw in his lot with the Borg of Bing (Microsoft), particularly as rumors abound that MS will pay the Dirty Digger dumpster loads of cash to block Google from indexing his news sites, you have to wonder how many pundits have actually thought this scenario through.

Chris Arnold - New study blames bureaucrats for global warming and suggests Stephen Fry could save us all

Few can deny that global warming is happening but last night on Question Time, David Davis (politician and scientist) raised the issue that it may not be man’s fault. Well after all when was the climate ever consistent?

Bob Willott - More bad news from cScape group

AIM listed internet technology specialist cScape Group suffered a loss of £319,000 in the year to 30 June, reducing its net assets to a mere £449,000.  Three days ago the group disposed of ITM Group, a small loss-making element of its business, presumably to stem the scale of losses in the future

Chris Quigley: Why I didn't have a ferrari aged 21

Back in 2001, I started out life as a bedroom internet publisher.  Me and a couple of University buddies decided to set up a political satire website called "Spinon" in the run up to the 2001 General Election - in a similar vein to Jib-Jab in the US.

IAB Blog: In digital, we can't make up our minds

Although that’s not actually the case... I’ve been to many a mutually-beneficial meeting within which a bunch of like-minded digital aficionados have taken to agreeing relentlessly and mulling over the wonder of this massive medium.  To great effect.  But we do like to debate.

Alan Munro's Blog: Some things you just need to get right

Today at 1pm, I went to collect the Euros that I'd ordered using the Post Office's Travel Money service. The online experience had all gone very smoothly, I got a decent enough exchange rate and the service guaranteed to have my money round the corner at my local post office by 1pm the next day.

So Jedward are out and didn’t they do it in spectacular style? Moaning and growling through a uniquely atonal version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Boyzone classic “No matter what”.

Mark Roy - F-Mobile

A pox on T-Mobile for allegedly selling the personal details of thousands of customers to rival companies, in my opinion. Henceforth they should be known as F-Mobile, I reckon. ‘F’ as in fail - both the standards and responsibilities required under the Data Protection Act and its otherwise innocent, unsuspecting customers.

Frukt on Music: The two faces of Google in music

As hard as it is to predict who the winners will be when the inevitable rationalisation takes place within the increasingly cluttered ad funded / music subscription market place, it's a fairly safe bet to suggest Google will still be in a strong position.

Belinda Parmar - Technology: Is it different for girls?

I am frustrated. I am bored. I feel patronised. PC World is telling me My World is Pink (it has not been pink since I was 7) and I need a new laptop to match my outfit (it would never even occur to me to match my outfit with my technology). Samsung is asking me “What Colour is my Life?” (hello?) and Dell is telling me that technology is like candy (do me a favour).

Greg Taylor: Raising the barcode

Barcodes grace almost every product for sale. Given how much package real estate they command, why shouldn't they look cool? D-Barcode has been creating custom barcodes for a mostly Japanese clientele without impeding on the mandatory numbers.
