Highfield corner
Who'll get Highfield's job?
"Simon [Nelson] runs radio and music like clockwork - he is a great leader" says an unnamed source who is clearly unaware that Simon doesn't run 'radio and music' and hasn't done for a year or so.
Highfield's successor [paidcontent.co.uk]
A really rather good article of who replaces my current uber-boss. (I'm strangely absent.) My photo of Tom Loosemore used here too. Do I win a prize or something?
Who should be the next web guru of the BBC - vote now [TechCrunch UK]
Mike Butcher is suddenly back on my christmas card list. Vote now. You know it makes sense. (Ha!!)
Ego corner
One Place [Alan Swan]
Man who reads this blog, and calls me a UK radio net expert. That's quite nice. I might nick that and put it onto a business card.
This guy [Stilgherrian]
To this man, I'm "this guy". Well, that's okay. I am a guy. I'm this guy. Excellent.
Flickr-spotter corner
Faking your subscriber count - is it worth it?
My photo from a Muse concert (the crowd leaving) adorns this posting, I took this one especially because I thought it might be handy for a presentation.
Google continues to dominate - and stagnate [Venturebeat.com]
Another interesting article. And a nice photo by me from the London Transport Museum's Acton Town depot.
Mobile ads [eMarketing and new media]
My photo. Yay. My hand, even. Illustrating quite interesting piece about mobile advertising (rather - advertising on mobile phones).
Chaos in Heathrow [some Swedish blog]
My photo. Look. There. I'd have spent longer on it if I thought it would have been used in so many places.
Silly things from radio stations corner
The Jodrell Bank Song [YouTube]
I was sent this for some inexplicable reason by Andy Bailey, who's the programme controller at Silk FM. I like Jodrell Bank telescope, but what it's done to deserve this awful song is anyone's guess.
DAB Rick Rolling [Flickr]
GWR FM Bristol do their own RickRoll - on the scrolling text of their DAB. "It was diagnostic purposes", apparently. Yes, of course it was. Cough.
