My Retaggr card
I have a new toy; it's my Retaggr card. It took me about 15 minutes to set up (10 if Blogger had decided to play ball) and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out: It's embeddable (click on the icons and they whizz you to whichever of my networks you've selected) and it's...

New Year Revolutions
I don't go a bundle on end-of-year navel gazing, and I'm not one for New Year resolutions but there are a few resolutions I wouldn't mind others trying out for 2009...1. Industry commentators.

Our own worst enemy?
Here are some cheery words for journalists, courtesy of Michael Wolff, founder of Newser: "The advice [to journalists] is probably not to get up for work today, sleep in and, you know, hope your retirement account will take care of you."If I wasn't already downcast by that little spot of advice, these two overheard comments...
