You’re not going to see a lot of posts from me in the next 2 weeks (no saracasm please!) as I’m in the process of moving house – and won’t have access to broadband until it’s switched on in the new house – next Tuesday, fingers crossed. Back Soon, Rob Read Full Story

What do you know about Net Neutrality? Chances are, you haven’t heard of it,or you’ve heard it but don’t really know what it is – and you know what the scary thing is? If Net Neutrality is ended, the Internet as you know it is gone forever, split into a fast lane for companies with money and a slow lane for small businesses, individuals, clubs and societies – in fact, anyone who can’t afford to pay ISPs to have their site in the fast lane. ISPs may even com... Read Full Story

Marketing is not Promotion People – Get that in Your Heads. Promotion and Advertising are tools used within a Marketing programme when a product or service is ready to be launched. There’s lots of marketing needs to be done before that stage  though. There are so many people around claiming to be marketing experts because they’ve undertaken promotional actions to some degree of success – that doesn’t make you a marketing guru that makes you a promotions guru.

Funny short clip of my good friend Dave, who’s 71, creating some hot electro beats via my iPhone. I hope it brightens your day as much as it did mine I taught him how to build and maintain his own website, which now has hundreds of pages, and gets thousands of visits each month – proving you can learn to use computers and the Internet at any age. The Sunday Times called him ‘the greatest Surrealist since Salvador Dali’, so make sure you check out his artwork in the... Read Full Story

This post is a direct copy of a page I just uploaded to my personal website, Rob-Bell.com – so the bit about ‘coming soon’ applies to that site, not this I thought the page worth sharing with you, my dear blog readers, so here it is, in all its’ glory including what I now consider to be quite an embarrassing video from a couple of years ago! Beware the Newbie Trap – Watch That Wallet! If you’re new to making money online, it’s really easy to get su... Read Full Story

Yes, it’s true – the Internet Police have been round and arrested me for neglecting my blog once again. They said I had been blogging with undue care and attention, leaving my blog unattended for many days, even weeks at a time. Oh blog, what can I say? I neglect you so, yet you sit there showing the world my words 24/7/365 unaffected by my ignoring you. They say I haven’t been feeding you properly, or dressing you appropriately. It’s not that I’ve lost interest,... Read Full Story

I’m not quite sure what it is… it’s not time, it’s not lack of ideas, it’s not lack of content… but something makes this blog harder to keep updating than any of the rest of my web estate! Those of you who follow me on social networks know that I’m online plenty, always researching new and quality information and applications, engaging with and sharing with people. I have almost 2,300 Twitter posts to my name at the time of writing this, so why oh why... Read Full Story

Hi Everyone, short post today - I’ve had an operation on my foot this afternoon, and the anaesthetic is wearing off so it’s proper throbbing! I won’t be able to sit at my desk for a few days, so I’m lucky to be writing this from my bed on my laptop. Ain’t technology grand?!?! In my work I get to work with lots of interesting companies who want to use the Internet to better deliver their products and services, some even want to change the way we do things in our l...

I’m being lazy with today’s post - in that I’m only writing this bit, but I want to share with you this excellent speech I was sent recently by a client. Have a read, and see if it makes you feel excited about the future - it did me! Rob The Unforgettable Commencement Address to the Class of 2009 University of Portland, May 3rd, 2009 By Paul Hawken When I was invited to give this speech, I was asked if I could give a simple short talk that was “direct, naked, taut, ...

Today is a big day for some, and a day like any other for many. Unless you’re a Social Media nerd, you probably couldn’t care less, but Twitter reached an important milestone today. Ashton Kutcher went against Larry King and CNN and fought to become the first user to have 1 million people following them. At 7.15 (ish) GMT this morning, Kutcher won! EA had offered to give all their games for a year to the person who was millionth to follow him, which resulted in so many people tryi... Read Full Story
