If you’re a regular reader of this business communications blog you will have noticed it’s been sporting a new logo for the last couple of weeks.

I‘m still waiting on an invite for Google Wave but as each day passes I get the feeling that the Wave could really change the way we communicate online.
Since watching the launch video I’ve been telling folks at conferences that it’s all very well to get on Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, etc, but that Google Wave [...]

Facebook Wall-to-Wall

by Jon on 2009/09/28

in communication

Don’t underestimate Facebook. It’s everywhere right now.
At first it appeared like a rather amusing way of keeping up with friends from college, university and the workplace. Now, however, it’s clear that it’s changing the way we communicate.

by Jon on 2009/08/26

in communication

Communication, just like business, is changing. Now you have to be everywhere and communicate in a variety of digital ways.
What’s more, you have to talk differently to customers and prospects. It’s no longer enough to just show them your wares or broadcast your message and hope they’ll buy.
