When politics needs influencing who you gonna call?

When politics needs influencing who you gonna call?

While the ultimate decision on who gets to govern Australia is still being made, the results are being measured on how digital / online activity had an impact on both Politicians and Voters. There are of course many ‘hustings’ online that relevant candidates had to consider, each with its own merits and bad points, each [...]

Are you listening, politicians? I didn’t think so!

Are you listening, politicians? I didn’t think so!

There is a lot of talk about this election campaign and the fact it hasn’t been much of a ‘social election’, meaning the lack of Social Media involvement. Ever since the Barack Obama campaign team leapt whole heartedly into using social media and other forms of digital communications to promote issues, communicate and raise funds [...]

Welcome to the Lucky Country

Welcome to the Lucky Country

Warning this post has an extreme overuse of bad clichés It has dawned on me that we have turned our back on our entire culture. The radios and TV channels are full of it, the newspapers covered in it. Apparently we are overrun with a plague of asylum seekers that threatens our very existence. Like [...]

How’s the iPad going?

How’s the iPad going?

4 weeks into my iPad ownership i felt it worth a quick review on how I am finding it. Firstly I am not a Mac fanboy. I do like my iPhone but am a long term PC user, and frankly have no need or reason to change that. Not sure if that makes me more [...]

Who do you love, Suncorp – your prospects or your customers?

Who do you love, Suncorp – your prospects or your customers?

A business website is most likely a multifaceted tool that should be helping you run your business, generate new business, and support your existing customers, plus a score of other possible processes or applications.

Who is Darryl?

The owner and founder of Ireckon….

an internet old hand, a father and husband, a marketer, salesman, public speaker, fanatical rugby and AFL supporter and a student of many things…

When he eats dog food, he looks like this: Darryl as a dog.

My life story is probably as interesting as yours, so let’s not get into it in that much depth here. What is more interesting are my passions and what I do day to day that offers me the chance to meet fantastic people and play in the webisphere 365 days a year.

Since the first chance i got to play online using Lynx and scouring a local university file system, through the launch of browsers and all the way to the wonderous world of web 2.0 i have loved the way technology can provide a communication platform to break down flat world thought and open up the universe to a totality of possibilities.

I get to work with people every day and help them to use the web for their profit (and mine too), but more than that I love to get immersed in how they do business and what technology can do to help. In many cases I spend time talking business not web, but having a passion for what I do and a few dollops of salesman in my bloodstream means I can’t but ask hundreds of questions to understand what people do.

The learning goes on every day. At ireckon – ireckon (yes we use our brand like this every day in every possibly way) I learn 1-100 things every day: about the web, technology, people, staff, me, law, design, me, humanity, love, me, grey hair, books, friends … where should I stop.

As I have been heard to say… I will stop learning when I am dead (although for some that is when it begins), and I will sleep when I am dead.

The web and sleep just don’t seem to go together.

Keep an eye out for my new book!
