For the first time in history, the human race is having a global conversation
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009There are Mums, Dads, soldiers, doctors, nurses, firemen, base jumpers, astronauts, old people, young people, builders, boxers, cops and at least one tank (don’t ask). And what are they all doing? Sorry, what are we all doing? We are sharing links to thought-provoking articles, we are making each other laugh, we are keeping each other up to speed on current events…we are communicating with each other on a platform that encourages good manners, that rewards us when we’re interesting and lightly smacks our hand when we’re not. For the first time in history, the human race is having a global conversation, and despite all our differences, we actually seem to be getting on quite well.
Not that the Sunday Times would ever dare to find value in humanity…

One more tune – Public Online Marketing workshop
Thursday, August 20th, 2009I’ve been asked by a few different individuals and companies to put on an Online Marketing workshop in the next few weeks. I’ve blogged on the Mulley Comms blog about being pretty much booked out from here to December so while very last minute I’m doing a full-day Online Marketing training workshop on next Tuesday Wednesday August 26th in Dublin City Centre (venue to be decided later). The cost to attend is €220. email damien (at) mulley.ie if you want a space. Spaces are very limited. I cap workshops at 12 people.
After that I’m doing the Social Media Unspun talk with Media Contact on September 17th and an Online Marketing workshop with it@Cork on October 13th, one for South Cork Enterprise Board in November and that’s about it for the year.
Remember though, you can download my online marketing documentation and for many people and companies, that’s a good enough starter.

eircom to block Pirate Bay from September 1st 2009, other ISPs say no way
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009See Adrian Weckler’s blog for more details. Eircom have confirmed it to him.
Excerpt from UPC press release:
UPC can confirm it has received a request from solicitors acting on behalf of the Irish divisions of EMI, Warner, Universal and Sony music companies that UPC blocks access to the Pirate Bay website.
This request is separate to ongoing court proceedings between these same companies and UPC with respect to their demand that UPC take certain actions in relation to subscribers allegedly involved in illegal music downloads.
This latest request is apparently further to an unopposed court action between these companies and eircom whereby eircom was ordered to block access to Pirate Bay as of September 1, 2009.
UPC has informed the rightsholders that there is no basis under Irish law requiring an ISP to block access to certain websites and that it will not agree to a request that goes beyond what is currently provided for under Irish law.
Giant Ws all the way – The Web Awards are back, get nominating, get sponsoring
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Off ye go to nominate your favourite websites. Don’t be shy about nominating your own work. Some people were “shocked, surprised and disappointed” (direct quote from an email) that the Wizards behind the Web Awards didn’t consider them. One needs to be nominated, don’t assume your Mam will do it for you.
Sponsorship opportunities are available though going fast.
And this sums up what a No Black Tie event means:
