Social Media Scene: why is the UK so far behind?

Posted by: Caroline on: July 29, 2009

As a blogger or blog reader, everyone here is involved in social media. If you check out my Google Profile you’ll see an almost full list of the social media sites I’m (semi-)active in – Twitter, Dyalogues, LinkedIn, GoodReads, IFB, Blippr… though I do keep some (my Facebook and my no-longer-active MySpace account) private (not [...]

Like me, love me, brand me! (II)

Posted by: Caroline on: July 17, 2009

So, where were we? (Read Part I here)
Twitter allows you to build relationships with people. One of the ways it accomplishes this is by allowing them a glimpse into your daily routine – the mundanities we were defending against at the start. Any marketer will tell you that they have preferred contacts with whom they [...]

Plight of the bumblebees

Posted by: Caroline on: July 15, 2009

I didn’t last long at work today. Dragged myself in despite feling deathly as we had meetings this afternoon and a workshop through lunch. So, rather than a blog post moaning about shivery, vomitty, achy weakness, here’s one I prepared earlier on the subject of bumblebees…
As well as international women’s and children’s rights, our Soroptimists [...]

Like me, love me, brand me! (l)

Posted by: Caroline on: July 15, 2009

(This one’s a two-parter! Golly, I’ve been a busy bee!)
A few weeks back, a (rather jolly successful) marketing friend of mine came to visit. We went out for a meal, and over an exquisitely arranged starter, got to talking about blogging, facebook and twitter. She explained that she really couldn’t see the point of twitter [...]

Nothing doing?

Posted by: Caroline on: July 10, 2009

Recently I have heard the same words from more than one influential mouth. From people who love me, who care about my well-being and worry about my burning out. The words are: Caroline, you do too much.
I am one of those perpetually busy people. If you want me, you have to book me a long [...]

Decadence

Posted by: Caroline on: July 8, 2009

Think carefully about the trends of the last few seasons. We’ve had maxi lengths sweeping their way into summer and creeping their way into winter looks. We’ve seen the waist “return” (I had wondered where mine had gone!), with the 40s look reigning supreme and tuxes and tail coats jostling for our attention. Gothic black [...]

Why Chicks Cry

Easily Mused: Why Chicks Cry

I had to share this – it had me sniggering out loud at my desk yesterday afternoon. Luckily there’s only Clare in to comment, and once I’d reassured her I wasn’t laughing at anything she’d said or done I was free to snort uncontrollably to my heart’s content! Enjoy!

Celebrity Skin

Posted by: Caroline on: July 6, 2009

I’m not much of one for celebrity gossip. I don’t read celeb mags, don’t care about Kerry’s rehab, or Ashley’s affairs – I’m only really interested in what the ladies are rocking up the red carpet! Yet bobbing around the lifestyle section on Times Online today I was drawn into this “BrangJen” feature – I [...]

Being stupid should be painful…

Posted by: Caroline on: June 27, 2009

… is one of Amber’s oft-quoted claims, and one which I’m 100% behind. There are a lot of stupid people out there who speak without thinking – though for argument’s sake we could say that, being stupid, they do not have much choice… But when it comes to social media hoaxes, I feel strongly that [...]
