Introducing the Travelling Geeks…

Today is the first of two days when myself and the Travelling Geeks are bouncing round Paris talking to new start-ups. The collection of bloggers reads like a Dirty Dozen of the tech reporting world… and we have a movie trailer-esque introduction to us all.

At some point I’ll complain I’m wearing the wrong tartan. You [...]

But I Came Here For An Argument! Le Web’s Greatest Success

If Christmas is coming up, that can mean a few things, but one of them is that Geraldine Le Meur’s conference, Le Web, is just round the corner. It’s managed to make itself one of the tent-pole conferences in the Web 2.0 year which is not bad going seeing as it is as far away [...]

About Ewan Spence at Blog World Expo 2009

My bag is packed, the flights are sorted, the hotel is confirmed. All that’s left is to actually go and enjoy myself at Blog World Expo from now and through to the end of the week.
I’ll be roaming on my mobile, so you can call me on +44 7966 152772, but be aware I’ll be [...]

“The Book” and Blog World Expo next week

It’s less than two weeks to go until the Blog World and New Media Expo in Las Vegas, so I thought I’d let slip one of my little ideas for the event – The Book.
People like to ask what’s in the sporran, and (the polite) answer while at Blog World Expo will be a Moleskine [...]

Just Call Me the Renegade Eurovision Host

Thanks to Lisa Devaney for a quote that, if I were looking for an advertising strap-line, would be right up there on the top of the poster. This Renegade Eurovision Host was interviewed by Devaney last month about my adventures at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, and my use of Web 2.0 technologies. Specifically the [...]

Today is Going to be ‘Leave a Comment Day’

One of things I decided to do a lot at this year’s SXSW conference was to introduce people. It’s been joked by some that I know everyone at these conferences. I don’t, but when I get stopped in the halls of the Austin Convention Centre every ten yards it’s kind of hard to not generate [...]

Liveblogging the Return of Minder

Yes tonight sees the return of the classy Arthur Daley and his minder, Terry, to the TV screens on Channel 5. Yes, Minder has returned. How could I not liveblog the experience?
1938: Yep I think I’ll call it a night and go and watch a repeat of Yes Prime MInister.
1935: What no George Cole or [...]

Liveblog: UK Eurovision, Your Country Needs You (ep 5)

It’s time for the grand final of the UK nationals to find out if Jade, Mark or The Twins will represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow, on May 16th.
1955: Time to put the Eurovision Liveblog tools away – until May, until Moscow.
1954: I’m sure I’ll have a full blog post [...]

Are You Here For The Eurovision Live Blogging?

Welcome to everyone from the Square Eyes blog post over at The Stage:
[Scott Matthewman’s] personal favourite at the moment (unsurprisingly for a Stage employee, perhaps) is musical theatre performer Mark Evans, with Jade a close second. Otherwise, though, I find it a little hard to muster much enthusiasm. Eurovision expert Ewan Spence has been liveblogging [...]

Outfoxed by SEO, New Labour Blog Fails In “Being A Blog”

Last week, Labour Party Member (and ex “Spin Doctor” from Downing Street) Derek Draper launched the Labour List to a lot of fanfare and personal appearances in the media. The noise in the UK Political scene was a bit more critical, pointing out errors, mistakes in the approach, and generally saying it looked and smelt [...]
