'Mailing lists are – alongside RSS feeds – one of the most beautiful inventions of the Internet.' Absolutely!

I started watching this with the (nearly) 16yo because she's studying GCSE classical Civilisation but I ended up really enjoying it.
Really delighted to have a positive view for TV Meet the Emperor in @thetimes (Sunday times usually ticks me off for fashion sense/teeth..). If you missed it. it's on iplayer in uk tinyurl.com/57788bbj And more reflections in my recent book tinyurl.com/3mt2np3c
I voted for the Cellar Bar because it's a great venue, obviously, but also because they host a monthly under 18s open mic night. herts.muddystilettos.co.uk/a…

As someone who loves learning online and has created online courses (and I still deliver online training, too), I can see exactly where Pat is coming from. The sheer volume of learning opportunities online is mind boggling.
Infobesity. It’s affecting all of us. I’ve thought about this a lot.
Because information is so easily accessible now, and because there’s so much of it, it’s actually made learning new things harder, slower, and sluggish.
And boy do we crave our content around topics of interest, don’t we?

First impressions, gut reaction?
This is the first in a series of sessions hosted by Drive the Network experts. I'll be there tomorrow and I'm hosting one on 22nd February. Come join us.

Let's reframe this - Thurs, Feb 8th, 10am GMT register here lnkd.in/e6YA_Yb
