Most of these are with experienced users, and the conversation tends to be around the web interface and their commercialisation model.

Not just a web site! What is your web strategy?

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting to the members of the Cairns Chamber of Commerce. I was asked to speak more of ‘the web’ rather than web sites per se. This was a relatively easy topic (or so I thought) for me given it is the big issue...
With Social Media, getting started is like crossing a river

My camping holiday is over again. I came back to my semi rural property overgrown and messy. My ride-on mower had gone to God; it was hot and didn’t look like I was in for much fun at all. Several options ran through my head: Can I force this old...

So I will set the scene first. Tonight I attended a special presentation of Picasso and his collection, at GOMA, in Brisbane.
