Today, the launch of the My School website occurred. It was heavily promoted, and given how controversial the scoring system and the way schools can be compared has been, it was always going to be a pretty obvious heavy first day of usage. It was very disappointing (albeit a little expected) to see that the site has [...]
It happened again this week. I was discussing online strategies with a business, only to discover that they do not have even a basic listening program in place for electronic chatter about themselves. I realise that before online media came along it was extremely easy to stick your head in the sand. As long as sales [...]
Yesterday I was embarrassed. As part of #irace (our staff activity for Xmas) one of our staff teams wore ‘hot pink’ t-shirts. This was an all male (heterosexual) team and the pink colour was one of three bright colours. The event was all in good fun, and no one was supposed to get hurt. Thankfully no one [...]
Last night a person (yes a real human) made several mistakes. They made an error and then the attempts to manage it weren’t so great and things didn’t exactly resolve themselves as they could have. Ever happened to you? In your working life, have you ever made one of those mistakes that sent chills down your [...]

the ireckon amazing race wrap up #irace
Friday December 11, 2009 1pm
After keeping it a complete secret, I set up the staff to compete in an amazing race around Brisbane CBD and close surrounds (detail here). The Twitter stream was recorded using the hash tag #irace
It was a stinking hot day (33 deg C) and extremely humid. This didn’t bode well, given...
ireckon it’s an amazing race #irace
Today for something a little different I have set up an ‘Amazing Race’ around Brisbane CBD as part of the staff Xmas party.
There are a whole lot of weird things going on and prizes for the winning team.
There will be three teams of four racing about doing weird stuff and using twitter to communicate back...
6 hours, twitter, a #spill, a spare domain and a bit of fun
It started at almost the close of business yesterday.
Our sysadmin came to me with an idea he was sure I would hate. Keep in mind he doesn’t really use twitter much, he is one of the few in our office who don’t, but what I love about my crew is they don’t limit themselves with...
Can your business cope without technology?
No I didn’t just swear. It is a very real question.
When something happens twice to me in very quick succession I often think it means I am supposed to take notice. I have. So you’d better too!
On Saturday while getting some last minute paint for our old office (a couple of quick repairs) I visited...
Employed via Twitter. Fact not fiction.
Today our first twitter recruited employee started at ireckon. Scott Hampson, aka @agent_x, has started with us in our important role as Site Producer /Project Manager.
Last year, when the person previously in that role left, to move further afield, we decided to run with our existing team and let the whole GFC thing run its...
