Because of the state of ‘ownership’ of social platforms — a topic I shall not be diving into here — there is a lot of upheaval and change in the world of social media and people trying to develop new, old things. What this means is that now updating the timeline has to be done […]
I know it’s been a long time coming, and a tweet is what reminded me that I needed to update my social timeline, so here we are. Of interest is the lack of new start-ups in social platforms and apps from late 2015 to the present. There were a few that Google and a […]
Updated social media timeline Klaxon! I do like to stay on top of the social channels that come and go, and a part of that is to speak to my friends who work for big social media marketing companies and getting the inside knowledge on what platforms launched, failed, and what’s happening elsewhere.

It’s that time of year again. I’ve updated the Social Media Timeline to include the (one) that has cropped up, though, to be honest I have no idea what the point of Vero is, but I do have it. Another thing to consider in this timeline is the lack of non-western social media platforms. […]
It’s that time of year again: the time of year when I finally get around to updating the social media timeline. This year I added in some older social platforms that are just coming into vogue, but have been around for a few years. As always, the caveat here is that though I try […]

I know that everyone is super keen when I upload a new social media timeline. But because of all the shenanigans over at Twitter in the last few months, sites have popped up (or become much more popular and known to me) left, right, and centre. So I have updated this timeline for the second […]
And, why we, as HE providers should look west. Several years ago, I spoke at a conference about why it’s better for an American student to undertake their postgraduate studies in the UK. I turned this into a paper that I’ve updated occasionally over the years. The last update was in 2017, but I […]
How exciting. It’s literally been years in the making, but at the end of July, my first book: Books and Social Media: how the digital age is shaping the printed word is out.
