Facing the music: RIP Noodles

Melanie S. posted an article on - Jun 2, 2011, 10:14 am
It’s time to finally admit defeat. This poor blog hasn’t been updated regularly in a year. It’s time to throw in the towel. The truth is, the last thing I want to do when I come home from working in social media is write about social media. (I wrote a post about that trend on our Onlinefire c...

I absolutely love this. Ballet, weird music and dirt – who knew it all went togther so well?

Happy Birthday, Fake Plastic Noodles

Melanie S. posted an article on - Aug 2, 2010, 7:56 am
I’ve just renewed the domain for this blog. Even though I haven’t updated properly with anything in ages -  I just couldn’t bear to let it go. Three years ago I started this blog because I was planning on a move to London.  I was nervous, but excited. I worried about my job, driving, where ...

Nom Nom Nom 2010 – I need your help!

Melanie S. posted an article on - Jul 27, 2010, 4:55 am
Alright, yes. I know it’s been months since I’ve posted on here. I have no excuse other than the food blog has taken over my life.  So much so, that now it’s even bleeding into here.  See, a month ago I entered a Masterchef/Topchef type competition for bloggers called Nom Nom Nom. Fellow foo...

This video, passed on to me by my colleague Andrew, is nothing short of geeking amazing.

Does forced disclosure on blogger endorsements change anything for you?

Melanie S. posted an article on - Oct 7, 2009, 6:08 am
The US has announced a crackdown on product endorsements. For years, we’ve all been used to seeing celebs and models hawking everything from car insurance to beauty products, but surprisingly this ruling isn’t limited to Iggy Pop or Sarah Jessica Parker – it includes bloggers too. The new rul...

A breakdown of the blogosphere

Melanie S. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I came across this over at my favourite coolhunting spot, The Presurfer. It’s a breakdown of the blogosphere today. It’s certainly not an Earth-shattering representation, but it’s a very clever way to visualise it. Thumbs up to Intac for some brilliant linkbait.

Jackenhacks Carnage

Melanie S. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Ah, gotta love events – especially boozy PR ones that involve cheeky awards and random karaoke at the bar across the street. Yes, I finally made it to the Flackenhacks (or as they were called this year in tribute to the late King of Pop – the Jackenhacks).  This is the third year for the award...

Contacting online journalists at national newspapers

Melanie S. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I’ve just had my first piece posted on Reputation Online, the latest New Media Age outfit headed up by the lovely Vikki Chowney. The article is about how PRs are having an increasingly difficult time working with proper journalists in the online space… Online and offline PRs used to have very ...

Has Twitter become too big for its own good?

Melanie S. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Looking at Twitter from the time I joined to now is an experiment in hyper-evolution. A couple years ago, I made the disastrous mistake of saying I didn’t think Twitter was going to be any big “thing” and it was just a lot of hype over nothing (this was after a good 7 months of sporadic use)....

No fame in blogging

Melanie S. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
At the end of another year, there are sure to be quite a few ‘RIP Blogging’ posts. Nothing like a new year to make people bring out the ol’ soap box, right? Personally, I don’t think blogging is dead, but I do wonder if there’s room for many more of them.  I don’t mean to say that new ...

The concept of home

Melanie S. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
January is always a weird month of self-reflection. Partly because of the after-holidays low, partly because everyone is obsessed with reinventing themselves in the New Year, partly because it’s my birthday month, and I feel obligated to take a step back examine my life. I’ve been in London for...

Blog comments for linkbuilding

Melanie S. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
There’s a debate going on about whether or not to turn comments off on a blog. While I don’t believe a blog is truly a blog without comments, I’ve actually been thinking about turning the comments off on here – at least for posts older than two months.  It’s not because anyone’s being t...
