Flashmob Friday has moved to Sunday and now with local super-shopping centre power! Dundrum Town Centre today, “The Hallelujah Choruas”. Thanks to Miriam Joyce for sharing, she’s in here somewhere…
I recommend flicking to 2.30 to avoid the setting up bit!

Behind Every Great Woman…
October 29, 2010 at 7:15 am
is another great woman? : )
Very happy to announce the launch of Joan Burton’s new site today. This one landed 5 days after Airt was born and I thought it worthy enough to come out of maternity leave retirement for it. I didn’t want Joan falling into the hands of someone who wouldn’t give her a fabulously stylish and user friendly WordPress blog site.
Kick off meeting happened 3 weeks after Airt was born. I was very excited to be out – in town, with make-up on! Things got started with the wonderful John helping me…
Then the economy got in the way
You’d want to be living under a stone not to be aware of the busy summer Joan and her team have had, the meetings in the Dept of Finance, the many many interviews…. all this time I was living in fear that an election would be called and then we really wouldn’t have time to finish this newest addition to the Labour Party suite of sites.
The good news is that the election hasn’t happened yet and the Budget is still some weeks away
So in this time of relative calm, Joan’s team have signed off on the site and it’s gone live today. A select group of bloggers enjoyed a sneak peak last night and by all accounts, it’s a hit.
I think we’ve managed to make Labour Party red seem a little softer, but the messaging is still as hard-hitting as ever. See for yourself. Visit Joan’s site today.
How (Twitter) Influential Are You?

Came across this nice tool for measuring your Twitter influential-ness – Klout. Type in your name and it gives you a nice score that shows your true reach, who you influence, and who you are influenced by, and has a nice little summary text bit that places you in a nice chart.

Be Afraid Be Very Afraid
March 8, 2010 at 7:48 am
Were you, like me, getting a bit tired of all the warnings about ‘social media experts’ last year? It seemed as if there was more written about beware of dodgy experts than there was about the space itself.
However this morning some folks on Twitter were talking about this guy – The Twitter King – Social Media Expert. His site is definitely written to the American market. He makes big bold claims about making $50,000 in just weeks and guess what? He’ll show you how….
I would just like to say that I have never heard of the man. Never come across him on Twitter in all the years I’ve been active there. Never met him at a single event. Never heard of any of his clients. And I would file this guy in the same camp as the dodgy dating techniques seminars of last year.
Facebook App for UK Market
March 4, 2010 at 7:04 am
I was on the hunt for Irish Facebook app developers a little while back. The reason why was because I needed to get an app developed for a competition running on the Discover Ireland GB fan page. It’s now live – and Betapond (the winning company) were great to work with and pulled this out of a hat in record time. It’s great to see one’s ideas translated into action – with just the right amount of tack factor involved!
Check it out here - but remember, you can’t enter if you’re not in England, Wales or Scotland.
Not All Flashmobs Are Good

Corporate America – please do not hijack our beloved flashmobs! Cringe-inducing performance on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange last Friday (22 Jan 2010). How not to do Flashmobs:
Best in Blogging – we’re in!
December 18, 2009 at 10:04 am
Arrived back from London yesterday to discover that this blog is in the finalists of the Digital Media Awards – Best in Blogging category. Delighted for that! I’ve not been a finalist in the DMA’s before. Congrats to everyone who made it this far, including:
Curious Wines
Fast Blog
Ronan Lyons
The Story
Now the only thing is – we’re all up against Damien Mulley. So I won’t be holding my breath re. this one. The judges are going to be looking at standard of content, quality of writing, overall design, and usability – all that I’m fine with. But they’re also looking at whether the blog is influential and regularity of updates and there Mr Mulley wins hands down. He is a more dedicated blogger than I am, averaging at least one post a day and sometimes more – he even writes on weekends! He has thousands of keen followers, his every post generates a barrage of comments. The man is behind the main thrust behind the Irish Blog Awards. He is, quite simply, the Ard Ri of Irish Blogging.
It reminds me a little of the current show down between Simon Cowell’s X-Factor and the campaign to get Rage Against the Machine as Christmas Number 1. I never thought I’d identify with RATM, but now I do. Brightspark for Christmas Number 1. I mean DMA’s!!
