Bloggers: Armed & Dangerous

When I walk into a conference, I don’t simply take my writing tools.  I am armed with a laptop.

Blogging: Permalink Structure

I’ve been fighting with myself for the past month over whether to stick to my existing link structure (which does not include any date) or switching to move my URLs to the year/month structure.
Why is this important?
A Digital Perspective, like many blogs, is an ongoing account of the world around me.  Like all records, time plays a [...]

A Changing Audience

The readers of A Digital Perspective are growing each day, and so is my Twitter following.  As my audience changes on Twitter I’ve become much more focused with Tweets, and much more mindful of what I’m saying. I’ve been careless in the past, and I apologise.

The Music Blogs: Creating my first online community

Over the past few weeks I’ve been pulling together my very first online community: The Music Blogs (www.themusicblogs.com.au). The beta started over the weekend and we officially launched today (it was seeded with the previously removed content from ADP).

When Bloggers Strike Back and Human Behaviour

Writers, ranters, influencers.. engaging with the audience.
It seems there are lots of shiny new words going around about us bloggers at the moment - even ‘blog people’, which I imagine to be short, small orange fellows living in the mountains of cyber space.  Think oompaloompas.
Previously, we’ve seen the bloggers strike back at the NAB at their [...]

iPhone letting down video blogging

On Saturday I started video blogging - but my shiny new iPhone is letting me down because I can’t do video blogs out and about when I have the urge to do it.
Devices and technology should allow us to fulfill these urges.  Not hinder them.
Update: If anyone would like an alpha invite to this service, [...]

12second.tv: 12 second jye

Seven days ago I finally decided to jump onto video, and over the past week I’ve already started to collect my thoughts about why I think it’s good for everyone.
I decided on 12second.tv over YouTube. What’s so special about another video platform? Nothing. But it’s the way it has been executed that draws creativity out [...]

August 08: Site Developments, Thank You

to write, muse, dream, strategise, and scream about social media and the online digital industry
If you’ve been following my blog for the past few weeks, you would have noticed a lot of change, not only in style, but in functionality. So I thought I’d take a minute to look back at what has been discussed [...]

The Growing Life Almost Shut Down

I’ve been a fan of the life-hack blog The Growing Life for some time now and it turns out it was almost shut down by the author, Clay Collins.  This is one of the most honest and real blog posts I’ve ever read.  Some really open insights into the author’s mindset, perspective and opinions. This [...]

social media djs: beyond the mashup

“The music we select, share, shape and import back into our ongoing mix helps shape what we are.”
Every so often you hear a phrase that makes you stop and think.  Came across this one from David Cushman’s post at /Message.  I think this is a really unique look at the digital world.
What am I adding? [...]

Getting your own favicon for a blog or website

If you’ve ever wanted to get one of those icons that appear in bookmarks, favourites and browser tabs, then this is the only site you need to visit: Favicon Generator (http://www.degraeve.com/favicon/)
Technically named “favicon.ico”, the site lets you draw your own Favicon or upload an image to be converted into the tiny image file.  Adds a [...]

A great way to keep your social network and or community alive in kicking is by sending them a reminder. Over at bodybuilding.com, the system automatically sends you a polite reminder if you haven’t made a post on your ‘BodySpace’ in more than 2 weeks.
