Wow, there really have been a whole load of social media shitstorms of late. First, there was the case of Paul Chambers, AKA the #twitterjoketrial, where one guy tweets a jokey, hyperbolic, frustrated tweet ostensibly to his friends that follow him, and has now ended up (after appeal even) with a £1000 fine and a […]

The Importance Of Social Media At Greenbelt

How Do You Keep Track, And How Do You Share?
I’ve been wondering about how you lovelies a) keep track of blogs and news that you read, and b) how – if at all – you share it with other people.

…And another new site??
Hello! Yup, it’s another new site – this one will be a group blog, pulling in all the interesting things that used to end up on the SteveLawson.net forum together in a more 2.0 format, where we can comment, collate, chat, discuss and share all the elements.
