    The business blogging workshop I held in Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) yesterday seemed to go very well. The online feedback was very positive as were a lot of the comments during the course of the day. The workshop itself was quite challenging to pitch because the attendees spanned communications, marketing, business development and deep…

    I see Loic has posted dates for Les Blogs 3. It is on December 11th and 12th this year. I went last year and I can honestly say it was the highlight of the year for me. Still no mention of line-up or pricing but unless it is outrageously expensive, I’ll be going. See you…

    Robert Scoble’s video show was launched this morning. The delay in the launch was due to the PodTech.net site’s re-design apparantly. There are some fascinating interviews there. One of the videos is of a photo walk with Thomas Hawk. Thomas is a photographer in San Francisco and works with photo sharing site Zooomr. I did…
