Sydney Monorail

I'm in Sydney on leave after attending a conference and was highly amused to see the Simpsons-like Monorail, which I can tell from speaking to the locals they're not overly keen on.

I thought I'd upload a video of it ...

... and when I went on a lap of it there was a load of purple velour wearing people there too, which just added to the kitschness of it!

Virgin Media Digital Customer Care

Find attached a Slideshare of presentation I am doing next week for the Web 3.0 and The Future of Social Media conference about the Virgin Media story in terms of Digital Customer Care - what we've learnt and our future:

I look forward to the event!

Facebook tattoo a hoax

Oh, looks like I've been victim to a good publicity stunt ... well at least I'm not the only one ...
More detail here. I wonder if someone will be going out and doing it for real now though?

The social media tattoo

I'm a bit of a fan of tattoos - I have a few myself - and I'm also a big fan of social media.

However, I'm not sure I'd go as far as this in having my Facebook friends tattooed on me:



As my cousin rightly asked herself (on Facebook naturally), what do you do when you want to cull someone? The other question is obvious though as to what to do when someone changes their profile pic ... you hack into their account and change it back!*



* Not really, of course

Update 12/06 - It's a hoax!

Link this up to your Facebook account

I got sent a brilliant link today to one of the best social media things I have seen for some time, Intel's Museum of Me application, which links into your Facebook account (with your permission of course):I'd highly recommend giving it a go - and it's worth doing so with full sound, I was just blown away myself.
