		<title>Are free social networks a good business model?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To make money you have to sell something, yet we seem to have become obsessed with the word &#8216;free&#8217; on the internet &#8211; free content, free platforms, free products, free blogs, free uploads, free sharing and, well, just lots of free stuff. No wonder it&#8217;s a little noisy and we&#8217;re all wearing headphones. The SOPA [...]]]></description>

		<title>Privacy &amp; Ignorance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid, I used to stay a lot at my Aunty&#8217;s in Marske-by-the-Sea on the North Sea coast . It was great fun. I loved the beach, even if it was freezing cold, which it often is up there! I remember vividly my cousin Diane posting a note (which was there for years) [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s in Store For 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The brain is a little like a wheel: it is a pretty ordinary thing until it is in motion. 2012 will be a year that gets that grey matter of mine in motion by challenging, pushing and progressing it. During the year, my companies will head in a slightly different direction because of the experimenting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Collaboration Breeds Innovation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Collaboration&#8217; is a word that is being thrown around the global playground of work presently. As a word it is overused, but as a concept it is underutilised in many ways. Frankly, most of us mistake &#8216;collaboration&#8217; for &#8216;partnership&#8217; or &#8216;strategic alliance&#8217;. So why is this word that is difficult to say when you have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Networking Has Changed Its Spots.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its an ordinary day, but you&#8217;re doing something special; you&#8217;re meeting friends for a coffee in a store down town. You&#8217;re chatting, you&#8217;re gossiping, you&#8217;re catching up,  discussing the merits of disposable nappies or, the latest offering from a mobile network company. Suddenly, right there next to your table somebody starts walking up and down [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brand Evolution by Social Selection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every sector is now embedded in an ecosystem. A dynamic, interconnected, knowledgeable community in which all the members are dependent on each other to survive and grow. Whether or not you choose to engage with this ecosystem of activity and pulse is up to you. We live in a world where there is over capacity. Too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Network Silos to Brand Hubs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Online replicates offline behaviour in a profusion of activity. In some cases it’s a remix, real time conversation, sharing information, gossip, pictures and videos. Hell we have been borrowing each other’s books for decades. And, whilst its no different, it can be so different! In their short online life, social networks are going through a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Broadcast Delivers Monologue, Social Delivers Dialogue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Broadcast is anything that is one way! TV, radio, traditional advertising, seminar, printed book, magazine, exhibition and even theatre and its been struggling to adapt to the digital world. However, we may soon witness a renaissance of broadcast if it integrates with social in a marriage of convenience. But it will need to obey the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook Has Become An Ad Network</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Its a modern day newspaper, the only difference is the conversations happening in the stream. Effectively, Facebook&#8217;s days as a truly social network are over. Its stepped over the precipice into the world of advertising and broadcasting. That&#8217;s okay. We are learning that broadcast and social can live in harmony as long as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>It Is The Density Of Social Media That Matters&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The future is about building several communities full of connections and monetising that rather than creating products and trying to sell them to a bunch of people we are disconnected to. We have forgotten how much social capital really matters as we were busy breeding a couple of generations where human capital was expressed as [...]]]></description>
