What do #SocialMedia platforms and free to use #GenAI tools have in common? Too long didn’t read: trading data for access. At some point over the past 15 or so years, we’ve become complacent with trading significant amounts of our personal data (instead of money) in exchange for access to social media networks. Similarly, we’re …
Why do I doubt AI will steal all of our jobs? Three word summary: consumer purchasing power. If AI replaced all of our jobs, then everyone would be unemployed and unable to purchase products, pay our rents and mortgages, pay for entertainment, and so on… And if we’re unable to afford, well, anything because we’ve …
As news feeds continue to get more saturated and consumer behaviour with social media changes, brands are going to need to engage consumers in much more considered ways. And with a TikTok ban looming in the USA, over the past few days we’ve seen users flock to Xiaohongshu (translated as “Little Red Book”, though often …
Should you be worried about AI search hiding your digital PR coverage? Maybe. That’s because not all publishers are allowing AI bots to scan their sites, and some AI bots don’t scrape behind pay walls. This means some top publishers (such as the The New York Times) won’t be included in the AI Search Summary. …
‘Fashion’ and ‘tech’ aren’t two thoughts that aren’t normally connected in my mind. In fact, the two have always been very separate personal interests of mine – until now. ASOS recently hosted Third Wave Fashion‘s ‘The Real Future of Fashion Tech‘ event where the panel talked all about fashion and tech – from the tech that … Continue reading
It seems like ages ago now, but back in January I had the chance to trial a Nokia Lumia 1020 through the Trial a Lumia scheme. It’s free to do and anyone can do it, so if you’re interested in technology I highly recommend you take advantage! Continue reading
Spring seems to be well and truly here in London*, so Jeff and I made the most of it this weekend and explored North London. From Camden Town to Upper Holloway, Archway to Highgate, Muswell Hill to Crouch End, we hit the pavement and saw as much as possible on foot, stopping to enjoy food … Continue reading
Like pretty much everyone else on Twitter and Instagram right now, I am doing the #100happydays challenge. The idea is that you find one thing to be happy about every day for 100 days, and I’m finding it both easy and overwhelming at once. (1 thing a day = easy; doing something every day for … Continue reading
Christmas was ages ago now, but this little lady has been busy so I’m only just finding time to write about it. This was Jeff and my first Christmas Day just us (we celebrated belated Christmas with his family another day) and we didn’t want to just sit at home, so we put on our Christmas … Continue reading
My dear readers, you know I’m not strictly a beauty blogger. But when my lovely friend Mitra asked me to join her at the Bare Minerals party in Canary Wharf to celebrate their new store with some bubbly and a “make under”, I couldn’t well refuse! Continue reading
Halloween is pretty much the best holiday ever: you get to dress up in costumes, ask your neighbours for candy, and no-one complains. Except for all of England, because that’s a memory from my American childhood and not really the done-thing in this country. And yet, I still love Halloween! Here’s how I’ve been getting … Continue reading
They say that Londoners don’t cross the river unless forced by employment or the lure of alcohol; only bad things lie on the other side. Well, that’s just not true – the bit about the bad things, anyway. The bit about not crossing except for employment or alcohol? I’d say that’s 99.9% spot on. Here’s … Continue reading
Way back in September (ages ago now, I know!) Jeff and I headed up to Newcastle on a daily deal voucher for a 2-night stay for 2 including breakfast and wine. (Not a bad find if I do say so myself! It was my first time up north (well, I did go to York for … Continue reading
Recently Jeff and I went to Amsterdam to soak up the culture, drink Dutch brews, eat too many chips, explore the canals and bask in the beautiful architecture that is Amsterdam. Thanks to the I Amsterdam card, it was super easy to get around and we went to a *lot* more museums than we probably … Continue reading
