Re: The mentors of 1DayLater - http://blog.1daylater.com/post...
"Did none of these people recommend actually launching your product and making some sales? Only Joking ;-> Tha's a very impressive list, you're very luck guys! but it seems that everyone i talk to (that is involved in tech starts up in the North East) has a similar story of how much help and support they have had."

"Thanks lee, i do some digital photography and retouching for the products on an online shop at work and was really inspired by this video, in fact i ended up going out and buying more lights, stands and reflectors and defusers and setting up a similar studio in one of our offices!"

Re: Online, the Comment is King! - http://blog.1daylater.com/post...
"Nice post David, as always you make a good point. Here's my 2 cents worth; * Only comment if you have something relevant to say! * Read existing comments already before making your own, there's no point in simply repeating something that has already been done to death. * Take as much care with your comments as you would with a post for your own site. * Back up your comments with related links! * Don't use comments as an opportunity for spam! * Try to be positive! * Count to ten before posting negative comments! In my humble opinion its all about reputation, you can build it or destroy your reputation with comments. In so take your time, be clear and be concise. Finally remember that the reputation of sites your seen to comment on have a habit of rubbing off on you, so if a site doesn't fit in with what your all are about you might not want to associate yourself with it."

Re: The Social Media pendulum starts to swing back - http://souterconsulting.eu/2009...
"As always you make a good point. I have to agree social media is hear to stay, but it is still very young as a medium and as a society we are still finding our way around it, and i'm guessing we will see wave after wave on new social sites as each generation make it their own. The key to the future of social media is ensuring that as new sites and services develop that we find ways to migrate with our networks from one to the other, and find ways to manage having multiple accounts on multiple networks, effective use of api's and services like ping.fm that allow you to send status updates across mulple networks all help. Another thing that is currently changing in social media is who we connect with. With sites like facebook, you probably knew all your friends on facebook in the real world before friending them on facebook, however with the rise of services like twitter all that changes and while you will have met some of your followers in the real world, many of them will be people..."

Re: The Social Media pendulum starts to swing back - http://souterconsulting.eu/2009...
"Nice post justin, i'd quite agree there is very much a hype cycle for this kind of social media development and popularity, but i think its far more complicated. The inovator such as your good self, will see a new technology, see its potential, get really excited about it and write all sorts of great stuff about it, the press will pick up on eventually, but by the time it hits the masses, you will have become bored and moved onto the next big thing. That is not to say that the masses arn't by this stage as excited as you once were, and that it won't get really big before eventually dying. There is also the lure of the new, in some ways social networks are a little addictive, people often want to have more friends than their friends, and be one of the cool kids using the latest social gadget, but eventually people get bored and move on to the next big thing, just look at the shift from friend reunited to myspace to facebook and possibly on to twitter. These sites are often, but not..."

Re: Visit to D|Lab, Institute of Digital Innovation - http://souterconsulting.eu/2009...
"interesting post justin, never been a big fan of virtual worlds myself but will keep an eye on this an see where it goes! For me the problem with virtual worlds is that i just don't see the point rebuilding an existing places, i can get a feel for the geography from something like google maps with sat images, maps and photos, if its to see a conference then a livestream with integrated twitter or chat is just as good, you see what i'm saying. As for meetings telepresence while expensive is fantastic. The only creative stuff i've seen is things like where the amazon guy, built a conceptual model of the way amazon cloud services works for thinking digital where you could explorer how virtual bits and pieces connected. I'm not saying that virtual isn't fun or doesn't have its place i just don't thing that its going to change the world. (maybe rebuild it in a virtual way). The other good virtual stuff i've seen isn't so much a hyper real virtual world as a navigatable virtual hotel room,..."

Re: Project support tool - your input would be appreciated! - http://souterconsulting.eu/2009...
"Sounds like you are looking to achieve quite a lot Justin, and its not all that clear from your blog post what exactly your after. But it sounds like you are looking to build a support network. Are you aiming this at a particular business sector, for example codeworks do a great job in the digital / creative market place - i'm not sure that this should be applied across multiple sectors though as needs are so different. I also think what you are describing is a portal. These only work if there are enough members with enough interest and enough motivation to keep them going, which means there need be a real need and not an existing support network in place, with the NECC, business links, one north east etc, etc etc that you might find the market is already saturated. In terms of the tools though, what you seem to be suggesting would have to be very flexible in order to work for lots of different types of company/industry working on very different projects and with very different supply..."

Re: Cloud Camp North East - http://souterconsulting.eu/2009...
"Hi Justin, it was good to see you at cloud camp on monday night, at the notes on the questions and answers are great. I have been thinking about it a bit since and i'm still not sure that i fully understand the implications. Here are a few thinks to think about: If you are deploying all your data to the cloud, and spinning up server instances all over the place, now does this affect the networking model? ie are you still using active directory to control your users computers sites and services? And where does anti virus and maleware fit in? Then there is the whole area of licencing, if your creating hundreds of new servers on the fly how are they being licensed does it still use the per seat or per server appoach. even if your not using microsoft servers and services surely there'll be licenses for anti virus, back up etc. When we talk about "the cloud" are we talking about a single cloud or many fluffy little clouds, ie would i use amazon to store my files and cloudmail to provide my..."

Building 43 - A place for people fanatical about the internet - http://www.building43.com/
A new website for people fanatical about the internet. Regarding the name Building 43: “The first time I visited Google they gave me a tour of Building 43. I found it to be a fanciful place where not only did the founders have offices, but they had this fun board in the lobby called “Google’s Master Plan.” VC Steve Jurvetson has a picture of that board here - seemed like a good metaphor for a community that’s for people who are fanatical about the Internet. Make Building 43 open to everyone.” Why Rackspace, a hosting provider? Scoble says he visited the company a year ago and was impressed with their approach to building communities and technologies. It’s also a good fit, he says, because the company has touch points with thousands of other companies (providing hosting and other services). A focus of Building 43 will be visiting and profiling these and other companies, with a look at how they grow over time.

Re: The importance of identity in online communities - http://www.jurecuhalev.com/blog...
"Sounds like an interesting experiment, although i guess in some ways the results will depend on the nature of the questions, that is to say some subjects need more anonaminity that others. It is also much harder to create communities when there is no identity, i often spend more time answering a question to someone i know than someone i don't and adice i give is often based on understanding friends situations after long aquantances. it is a useful think for web masters to think about are there some projects where the extra effort of extreme moderation is worth it to get some real unbiased insites into what people are really thinking. it would be perhaps a little braver that i could be with mysites though lol."
