If you are one of the three people who I know read my musings on here (thanks guys you make this an actual blog and not just my own private diary) you’ll remember I had a plan to try and ingest as much knowledge as possible on the issues of SEO/PPC and digital marketing via […]
Read more "So yea the reading hasn’t gone *quite* to plan"Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, Status Quo were not rocking the EdTwestival last Thursday, though it really would have been an appropriate song for the event. 25th March 2010 was christened International Twestival Day in cities all over the world as philanthropic tweeters united to tweet, drink and eat cake all in the name of […]
