I was being interviewed by someone recently. They wanted my opinion about the relationship between social-media and advertising.

Twitter can suddenly talk about nothing else but revenues. It has to be
a sure sign that it is getting serious about how it might make money.
Last week it was paid for corporate services and this week Biz Stone says an IPO could be an option.

Unlike the UK, which has pretty strict guidelines on advertising junk
food to kids, If you ever wondered why so many young Americans are
spotty, overweight, and just generally a pain in the arse... Listen
up...

Yet another great night for the Green Awards, which seems to go from
strength to strength year after year. This year they abandoned the old
sit down for a more freestyle networking evening - brilliant! I so hate
those stuffy dos where you sit at the Grosvenor eating crap food and
drinking bad wine.
Also on Arnold on Ethical Marketing:
Nothing but a deafening silence has emerged from the group of agitating
shareholders that were seeking to overthrow Media Square chairman Roger
Parry since their request for a general meeting was rejected by the
company on 11 November on the grounds that it had not “been properly
called”.
Also on the Bottom Line:
I've been over in NYC for the last couple of days, and whilst out in Soho spotted an overly enthusiastic girl selling Obama Condoms.
Her pitch was pretty tight - buy one for $5 or go for the ultimate
triple stimulus package for $10. I went all out for the $10 stimulus
deal. Bang!

Below are two trend charts from Nielsen’s Blogpulse (showing mentions
on blogs) and Google Trends (showing volume of searches). For both I’m
limited to three and five terms respectively, so I’ve included only the
most popular participants and “John and Edward” and “Jedward” have been
combined. No such thing as bad press afterall...

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.

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.
Also on DM, Data and Beyond:
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).
Also on Lady Geek:
Triumph’s (bra) cups are running over with ideas. Its latest, a green corset-style garment, can be removed and
unrolled to create a 1.5m-long putting mat whenever a lady feels like
brushing up her ball skills.
