There is no web 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0
This is deliberately similar to my first Posterous post, “There is no new vs. old media“… There is no web 1.0 or web 2.0 or even web 3.0. There is only the evolving web. I despise the use of the phrase “web 2.0″ when it relates to web design, for example – it implies that it [...]
Read MoreThere is no new vs. old media
I’ve said it many times at various events this year but I decided a short but sweet blog post was needed (and what better place than my as yet unused Posterous).

Hoggart takes the typical response to seeing Twitter; “I don’t understand it, therefore it’s just full of toilet trip talk [...]
Read MoreScrew society, I want to avoid tax!
Today, RBS, which is now 84% owned by the Government in economic terms (whatever that means) announced the biggest loss in British corporate history of £24.1bn. Wow. That’s a lot of money.
