What I donā€™t like about email newsletters

Charlie-Helen Robinson

No-one responds.   And no, I donā€™t just mean to mine… I mean that if I receive one and I would like to comment about something or follow something up, itā€™s like a brick wall. Either I cant, or if I do itā€™s like Ive intruded into someoneā€™s sleep time. Yes, I appreciate this is the ways of the push medium… but Iā€™m a tad over it.

How important is your profile picture?

Charlie-Helen Robinson

Across all social media platforms there is that little thumbnail profile picture that people use to identify you. I started out early on with a very basic avatar. This changed over time to be a standard face shot and then I moved into the “latest and greatest photo that I loved at that particular stage”. I’m probably still there in that stage. However, I may have changed my tune. In the debacle re-establishing myself on facebook (see post for explanation here), what I found is the people who have helped me in the social media space over the past few … Continue reading How important is your profile picture?

And yet, whilst we have this capability, we … Continue reading charlie talks about status updates
