The World's Greatest Blog

As part of the social media frenzy we kicked off during our incorporation and first ever AGM I have got my act together and got myself back onto Twitter. This does have the unfortunate side-effect that I, once again, have to read the tweets of others. However, this time, I am coming in with ground [...]

Hooray! We have moved! The World’s Greatest Blog now has the world’s third greatest domain name (I’ll leave it to you to guess at the first two in the comments section below!) in “Greatest-Blog.com” and this is great news because it means that we shall no longer be talking about boring, work related stuff here [...]

A week on Saturday, it is more than just the Aintree Grand National, it is also the last full day Linda and I will be spending in the British Isles for, on Sunday 11th April, we shall be moving to France for 6 months, with no immediate plans to return. This is my announcement, for [...]

After a few months of experimentation with Micro-Blogging – specifically the microblogging website, Twitter, I still havne’t reached any definitive conclusions regarding the usefulness of the medium.

I know what you’re going to think “Rob, you’re always hammering the BBC, I actually quite like them! Their coverage of Glastonbury is boss, for a start (sic)!” – so before we get in to this, I will come out and say that I enjoy much of the BBC’s coverage, to the point where I [...]

I feel like I haven’t invented nearly enough new words recently, so today I was particularly pleased when I was watching some on demand TV online that was rudely interrupted by… a buffercopter. Buffercopter (Buf·er·cop·ter) Noun The spinning circular symbol which displays when an online streamed video is loading, or ‘buffering’; A person, thing or [...]

Just a quick note to apologise profusely for my last two (or more) posts: blogging about blogging is an irredeemably dull, yet constantly mined seam. I will try to avoid doing it in future. There are even whole blogs devoted to blogging about blogging. If one is not careful, in one fell swoop, you could [...]

Those of you who read my piece the other day might have gleaned from it one fact: I’m maddened constantly by the fact that its difficult to get any sort of respect for running a blog. Simply put, in many circles, the word ‘blogger’ is very much meant pejoratively. One of the reasons for this [...]

Finally, the BBC has started to give bloggers some credit, in a roundabout way, as this afternoons prime ministerial aide shenanigans indicates. One particular highlight of today was watching the BBC News Channel where ‘Guido Fawkes’ more than held his own while the BBC news presenter repeatedly made ridiculous statements such as: Yes but, you [...]
