Social Media Week London: the data
Hooray! It’s that time of year again where thousands of people descend on central London for Social Media Week. I made a personal stand not to attend this year’s events as I wanted to track the whole thing via… well… social media. I began pulling…
What a Twitter redesign tells us about their future
Twitter is beginning to roll out new a new homepage design in the US. The (currently) desktop-only transformation can actually give a real insight into the evolving direction of the tool.
We are live… please don’t swear!
On Wednesday March 25th, I went along to #TwitterStrories at Camden’s Roundhouse. Formally Twitter4Brands, this (near enough) annual event is a celebration of the platform’s creativity, innovation and application.

They think it’s all over…
