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.

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

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.

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?
Also on Arnold on Ethical Marketing:
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
Also on the Bottom Line:
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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

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).

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.
