THREE jobs up for grabs at social media agency

Pleased to say we're scaling up to meet demand at Brando Social (the full service social media agency I work at four days a week).
So if you fancy joining a growing company in a growing sector, we've got a couple of roles right now:
1. We need a web 2.0-savvvy Tech Project Manager to start NOW. Good if you can program some too.

2. Account Manager. Ideally you have 3 + yrs exp (some digital). You're great at managing relationships with clients and you're hungry to learn about social media (if you happen to know loads already, that's great too).
3. Junior Researcher. You're currently working or have worked at a market research organisation or similar and have 1-2 years experience.

If you're interested in any of these roles drop MD Jamie Burke a line (cc me).

Who follows me makes me who I am

I am made greater by my connections, so are my connections. A Stowe Boyd line I enjoy and share a lot.

So it's nice to be able to see my connections described.

TwitterSheep looks through the profile descriptions of your twitter followers and creates a tag cloud.

I guess who follows you is a pretty good description of who you are.

Who follows me makes me who I am - or as I've put if before, I am part of a community, therefore I am.

Seems to work for me...

The Future of Newspapers

The Guardian's Open Platform project has caused a bit of a stir, at a time when mass media of all kinds is struggling to work out business models that have a better fit with the networked world.

The clever bit about the Guardian's plan is that they don't pretend they have the answers - they are sharing what they have with the rest of the world in the hope that a bit of global crowd-sourcing will evolve a sustainable solution.

At least that's my take. But let Dr Chris Thorpe tell you more.

Chris (one of Brando Social Consult's team) has been consulting to The Guardian on the project for the last six months. Now it's live he can finally talk about it.

I interviewed him at the Brando Social offices last week and have finally edited the video...
