After Social Networks, what next?

Leave a comment

This is an interesting Guardian report on an event hosted by the Said Business School in Oxford on Monday night. Some US entreprenuers spoke to a packed house with speakers including top execs from Paypal, Google, LinkedIn and Twitter.

‘Ram Shriram, a founding board member of Google and one of the search giant’s first investors, pointed discussion in a different direction. “Combining social and mobile – there is a new wave of oppportunities coming up, a growth of users, so mobile internet is clearly the next major computing cycle. And this time this didn’t start in the US, but in Asia and Europe from where it is going to the US,” he said.’

Down Syndrome Ireland – website redesign

Leave a comment

Down Syndrome Ireland’s new website recently went live with a brand new design and the Joomla! content management system behind it. The site is designed to present a large amount of content and information through a friendly and easily accessible interface. The CMS allows DSI staff to easily update site content and documentation themselves.

doop have been working with Down Syndrome Ireland for many years and continue to assist the organisation in utilising digital technology to spread their message and assist in fundraising.

social radio

Leave a comment

blipping marvelous, it launched in May ’08 and exploded this August.  blip.fm from Fuzz Artists, Inc is one vision of social radio.  Radio from the bottom up not top down.  When things are turned on their head the world can seem upside down, a revolution is taking place.

Radio listeners are being courted 1Kbit at a time via the web & the mobile web.  My colleague Dean Whitbread explains blip.fm here (and I will not try to repeat his text here) and Mark Ramsey of Mercury Media Research shows a mobile vision of social radio here.  coupled with efforts by radio’s vanguard like Rick OShea on RTE 2FM, who is using twitter & blogs to enhance the channels with listeners both on & off air,  social radio is sparking and it is resonating with audience and by passing the powers that be.

Below are some of my blipped tracks.  One thing I can add about blip, it’s lean forward & lean back radio, very clever.  To discuss this more meet me in Kilkenny Sept 27th 2008 at podcamp ireland where I hope to demo the PSP version of ilikeradio player.
