Facebook and Zuckerberg are worshipped in a book, movie and this article. I have nothing but respect for the guy and what he has achieved, but what is it doing to society? And if I was cynical (and/or a capitalist), how can we use that change to predict the next big thing? The quote at [...]
YouTube Symphony 2011 has launched, and the Sydney Opera House has been announced as the new final location! The program is revolving around an APAC advertiser and location, so it is an extremely exciting program for the region.

Wondering why I have been so quiet lately? I volunteered my time to write a blog post for the Google Grants blog instead! http://googlegrants.blogspot.com/2010/08/get-your-non-profit-started-with.html I really hope that it helps more non-profits get onto YouTube. It really is a great platform that will deliver a level of transparency and engagement with your supporters, and in [...]

Business knowledge is something that often doesn’t come in this format however (perhaps why the first business discipline I learned was marketing). However I have found a Twitter feed (yes, there is useful content on Twitter) [...]

You can check my qualifications here: Google Adwords Qualified – Display Advertising Proves that Google dogfoods its own [...]
Each year Google runs a GoogleServe week, where we each choose a non-profit project we would like to contribute to. I chose to present to a group of 30+ non-profit organisations here in Sydney on how they can benefit from our recently launched YouTube non-profit program. Despite being only a small contribution it was a [...]

It is great to see so many talented Australians contributing to the huge public pool of knowledge that TED and its derivatives are generating. These HD [...]
