Is Your Social Media Presence About a Signal Fire or Fireworks?

Most companies are feeling the need to connect with their customers via social media more and more strongly.  They hear the hype (what other advertising medium are people so addicted to that up to 25% of us will now access it within seconds of an intimate moment with our partners?),  they read the statistics (Facebook [...]

Become and early riser… or die trying.

I’m not looking forward to tomorrow.  Or the next day.  Or the day after that.   I am taking up the Lifehack Challenge to become an early riser in 5 days.   Instead of tumbling out of bed between 9 and 10 as I do most days, I will be trying to be up at about by [...]

Children Choking Pediatricians… whatever next?!

Children Choking Pediatricians… whatever next?!

Seriously, common sense is missing on two counts for this article. One, for the content, and two for the unfortunate URL. http://news.discovery.com/human/children-choking-pediatricians.html

Spread a little love this Valentine's Day

There is little I can add to this great post by musician and activist Jason Mraz, so I’ll just resort to good old copy/paste and hope that enough of us agree to skip the flowers and chocolates, tell our loved ones what they mean to us and make a difference in a very real way [...]

Funny Forwards for Geeks 1 – What Not to Name Your Website

I hate forwards as much as the next online warrior battling through their overwhelming inbox each day, but every once in a while someone sends me one that appeals to the geek in me. Sadly, few of my friends other than the one who originally sent it to me would appreciate the humour, so I [...]

Happy Holiday Fun

I pretty much wound down during the last couple of months of 2009 after a hectic few years, and have to say that it has left me refreshed and ready to go for the new year. So I stand by the idea that sometimes freelancers need to kick back and unwind in order to maintain [...]

Is this the start of a new wave of Cyber Terrorism?

The online community was shocked this week when the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, was hacked by a group calling themselves the Iranian Cyber Army.  Early visitors after the attack saw a graphic of the Iranian flag super imposed with Arabic writing, along with a strangely polite message in English, before Twitter suspended all services. This kind [...]

The Crunchies!

OK, so the red carpet at the Crunchies Awards ceremony might not be quite so glamorous as the Oscars.  They might be missing the likes of Brad and Angelina (although I’m probably not the only girl who would get just as excited to catch a glimpse of Tim Ferriss in a tux)  but the talent [...]

Work Hard, Work Fast, Work Less

I have been struggling to juggle multiple projects over the past few weeks.  I have new clients, new services, new writing contracts, and several projects that needed the dust blown off and tinkered with to be brought up to date. The trouble is that I am, quite frankly, rubbish at multi-tasking.  I was relieved to [...]

Do you really need a blog? Maybe not.

It’s a question that I get asked frequently during consultations with new clients:  “Do I need a blog?”   May answer for the majority of clients, was always “Yes.”   As a writer, I may be a little biased, but I also knew the power of a good blog for both attracting traffic and interacting with site [...]
