I’ve met quite a few social media “experts” and suffered some of their presentations. Many of them like to show a motivational video to remind you just how important social media is. So when I saw this video, well, I just had to smile… I’m a big fan of social media but to cut through …
Are you a social media guru? You need this video. Read More »
My first taste of so.cl today. An experiment by Microsoft to make search more social. It has a certain Facebook look to it, but their equivalent of the cover photo is a slideshow of latest searches carried out. Remember, these are searches by other users, not your own. I had been on there all of …

It’s difficult to avoid the ads for BT Infinity at the moment. Those 3 rather mature undergrad students sharing a house and tales of broadband woe crop up everywhere.

Apparently, although no doubt this is not cast in stone, come June Whitstable will have their broadband connection upgraded. “Fibre to the Cabinet” will roll out, which means instead of dodgy old copper between your house and the exchange, most of the distance will be covered by fibre optic cable. So the broadband connection between …
When I worked for a very big corporate, one of my colleagues was blind. Of the many things I learned from him (besides what it’s like to share an office with a dog*) one was the importance of website accessibility. This guy was responsible for selecting and managing service providers for this big company – to …
How accessible is your website? Hint – try turning off images Read More »
What a day. It started with the rush to get orders in for the Raspberry Pi – no, not a fruit based pastry dish. It’s a credit card sized computer, about as minimal as you can get while remaining functional and bringing with it a hope that it can kickstart a new generation towards getting …

We love using iStockphoto – for our advertising, blogs, websites and our clients’ websites when we give them the fairly marvellous Kent website design treatment. They have very high standards for accepting images into their library which they then combine with great pricing. Anyway, don’t just take our word for it, sign up by clicking …
