  • Leadership – Growing your capability online

    I was very interested to read this post this morning, and I wanted to drop out a quick post just to link to the article so I’d feel compelled to return and flesh out my thoughts on the subject. “I’ll be back”

  • The Power of Social Networks

    Given my not so recent addiction to Twitter it was no surprise, that a few minutes after a friend of mine Tweeting a story on the Australian iPhone release, I would be reading the referenced article. What did surprise me that, on the next refresh of my Twitter client – I had a tweet from […]

People joining the network are greeted by a splash page prior to continuing on to their content This is an experiment […]

  • WoW – A Chinese Gold Farmer Article…

    I’ve heard references to a movie on gold farming via The Instance podcast, but this is one of the first major papers I’ve seen to carry an article on the virtual goods trading phenomenom.

I wanted a change, not only because the ‘other’ header graphic was just, well, offputting, but also because this template suits the evolution of WordPress and the gadgets that […]
