reading great news for those who can target ads. What data are you using to target? http://ow.ly/216l6 #
. @afullerview – it's not the size of the market that counts but it's what you do with it. in reply to afullerview #
reading, again, online campaigns with targeting criteria shown to have positive effects on brand metrics: http://ow.ly/219Be #
reading about one of the biggest changes to (what was) local radio in the UK. Massive change for the UK radio market: http://ow.ly/219J5 #

@Cornelia77 Are there providers of specialist insurance available to you? in reply to Cornelia77 #

learned sad news: RT @edjames1: sad news about Frank Sidebottom. RIP. http://tinyurl.com/2duj2ku #
understands, in the ad network business, the name says it all. Google creates new brand for display ad platforms: http://go.curnow.org/yqggl #
reading "give users control over ads and they'll respond" … by not responding? (is that a little cynical?) http://go.curnow.org/efpnq #
forgot 1128 was the summer solstice: RT @Cornelia77: so today is the longest day of the year? thought had a few of those already this year #
left the chaps in the office looking over a wine list. Thinks he's invited to the wrong meetings. #
thinks he's done enough digital ad news for today so heâ€™s taking a stroll down Victoria Street. Iâ€™ll wave at Scotland Yard as I pass. #
is off to see an American indie rock band tonight. Yet he doesn't know a single tune they play which makes it quite exciting. #
thinks there's nothing nicer than being by the Thames in the sun. (@ South Bank) http://4sq.com/9aCO78 #
quite enjoyed @iamlonewolf. Now: interval! (@ Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre w/ 11 others) http://4sq.com/79sloY #
really enjoyed @broken_bells tonight. (@ Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre w/ 12 others) http://4sq.com/79sloY #
sees times are, indeed, a-changing. Didn't the Daily Mail used to blame the internet for all the worlds ills? http://goo.gl/OlzC #
first twested 1185 days ago (http://go.curnow.org/first) which seeems an age ago. Next is my 2000th tweet – not very many really. #
realises that 2000 tweets is really the best diary he's ever kept. Can I turn them into a book? A life snapshot: http://go.curnow.org/nkvyj #
is surprised that cloud sync isn't a priority for the mobile world. It's a connected planet now folks: http://ow.ly/21f4r #
would agree with this statement if it had been spelt correctly: "Data is a fundamentahl part of the automatedi ad buy": http://ow.ly/21lcx #
sees the countdowns are progressing: 10/17/21/82 days. I'll probably menion them as they get nearer! #
sees it is indeed a lovely sunny day! RT @TheEarlsfield: Good morning from The Earl. Another fine day ahead? http://ow.ly/21qTI #
@neilangus You an @broken_bells fan? They were really good & the acoustics in the Royal Festival Hall were excellent. in reply to neilangus #
& this yr? RT @SilverstoneUK: Since 1950 the British Grand Prix at Silverstone has been won 16 times by a British driver. http://ow.ly/21AMT #
Best tweet at last night's @broken_bells gig came from @hermionehoby, featuring the phrase 'drawstring trousers': http://go.curnow.org/mtkdh #
is really annoyed by the phrase 'emergency budget' for some reason. #
@neilangus where have they put your phone? in reply to neilangus #
@kevmoss yes. I am only watching the #budget via Twitter. Somehow I can both ignore it & get annoyed at the same time. in reply to kevmoss #
wonders if there'll be any sunlight left when he gets out of here: needing a vitamin D boost I think. #
reading that BT criticised O2's decision to remove unlimited 3G access: "we thought rationing ended in the 1950s: http://go.curnow.org/3g #
er, Shout? RT @TheEarlsfield: should I should â€œAllez les Bleusâ€ â€“ or is it a little late for that? Oh well, at least the players turned up. #
believes Googleâ€™s predicted 38 minutes for this walk to be excessive so I am setting off to prove them wrong. #
@TheoTheodorou I hope somebody else asked you to explain the 'shit & Julian Clary' tweet. in reply to TheoTheodorou #
@cookiedude 8,000+ tweets. I'm miserable now! #
@cookiedude maybe I've never been that fussy! in reply to cookiedude #
@bsbogus I'm sorry … repeat that statement replacing USA with the word England! in reply to bsbogus #
@Cornelia77 Yes, but you should stop wearing those woolen hats; don't you think? in reply to Cornelia77 #
@jamescridland Is 'fiscal drag' a good or a bad thing? I'm thinking it might be good but sound bad? in reply to jamescridland #
overhears a conversation about 'boxer short stores'. Anybody know what that means? (@ Marlbourgh Head) http://4sq.com/ciGQwh #
had a fab night with @aiMatch Europe & friends. Much more to come. Now: homeward bound. #
understands that only certain radio industry followers will understand the next tweet. The rest of you will use the word anorak! #
<sings> In Shropshire we've got it all from Oswestry to Hodnet Hall … I realise only @colatlunch & @janeatbreakfast might understand that! #
@cookiedude no mystery … I will, once again, be an ad-serving person from 13th July. in reply to cookiedude #
@cookiedude I do hope sooner but you must say hello to Seattle first! in reply to cookiedude #
@actel … is good (or was that not a sentence I was supposed to finish?) in reply to actel #
. @TheEarlsfield: seen this? RT @jadedjunk Seen stuck to Barclays in Earlsfield this evening. Love it. http://yfrog.com/2pltzuj < laughing #
@jadedjunk Barclays, Earlsfield is a prime candidate to become a trendy wine bar one day soon! in reply to jadedjunk #
read http://bit.ly/9iNvXg as posted by @jackschofield. All good points – watch what you tweet- but lacking real world recommendations. #
amused to see somebody pointing out you can't create a Facebook account without email … not so dead now, huh? http://om.ly/mYqq #
learns he internet is poised to overtake newspapers as the 2nd-largest US advertising medium by revenue behind tv:… #
and with that …enough of this ad business … on to something else … #f1 me thinks #
just read that Ferrari expect a competitive showing in Valencia but wonders if they say that every race #f1 http://go.curnow.org/xzohn #
sees @The_Real_JB saying he's looking forward to a McLaren 1-2 finish at the British GP. Let's get over the next race first, huh? #f1 #
sees Global Radio launching ads across its smartphone apps & wonders why they didn't launch with ads? http://go.curnow.org/annog #
does wonder why ad supported businesses launch things without ads … mis-setting user expectations isn't good. #
@jackschofield Agreed suggestions are hard with this (use 4sq's selective tweet control?) but without something it borders on scaremongering in reply to jackschofield #
@nickpiggott I appreciate the scale issueâ€™s important to a sales force. To me itâ€™s both a UX issue (which can be overcome … in reply to nickpiggott #
@nickpiggott … but why change it?) and, more importantly, a user expectation issue. Donâ€™t get me wrong Iâ€™m for overt commercialisation. in reply to nickpiggott #
@rrwood but your soul is paying! in reply to rrwood #
thinks 'only half'? RT @Hitwise_UK: The Times has lost half of its UK traffic since enforcing registration via paywall http://bit.ly/au7quS #
realises he hasn't tweeted about breakfast for quite some time. He apologises for that #
learns that it's National Fish & Chip Day today. Not quite breakfast but it's made me hungry. /via @AndyGoulding #
reads @ClickZ noting that the talk at Cannes Lions is of real time (http://bit.ly/apWKca) but, perhaps, not all the talk: http://ow.ly/237Zk in reply to ClickZ #
thinks it's an ad blocker under another name: RT @cookiedude: This guy thinks Apple can save online advertising … http://is.gd/d3ToP #
missed most of the interview. iPlayer where are you? RT @DeejayPARd: Kylie Minogue was looking stunning on the Jonathan Ross Show! #
suggests he accepts that when he's resorted to Cheryl Cole hits on MTV Hits it's time to go to bed. #f1 tomorrow. #
apparently name checked the wrong singer in that last tweet! RT @JUSTINcredbleJB: Cheryl Cole changed her name back to Cheryl Tweedy! :O #
almost wants to be part of the story. I'll be Snickers! RT @samuelbailey: RT @fabricoffolly Best. Headline. Ever. http://twitpic.com/1z9pyk #
need to read about how best to build a new tech core into an old business model but it's the weekend: http://bit.ly/cdppe0 via @ukdigitalguy #
hopes so. RT @GrandPrixDiary: It's stinking hot in Valencia. Pray to God that Eddie Jordan has a shirt up to the job. #
finds the place us lacking the M (mash) in it's name right now. (@ S&M) http://4sq.com/9iWNus #
wonders if you've checked your insurance policies in regard to your comments on Twitter: http://bit.ly/doL9Tp /via @jeffjarvis #
just ate excellent sausages with a lovely cup of tea. Next? More sunshine. http://flic.kr/p/8dsCu3 #
reports that the London Thames Clipper river transport service is nice and busy right now: http://flic.kr/p/8dt8L9 #
has been playing with 4sq this afternoon and has done enough to overshare! So radio silence will be observed for a while. #
laughs-RT @itsdarrenlee: This psychic octopus says Germany will win tomorrow. Can't believe I just typed that sentence. http://bit.ly/9rfkUP #
just read a fascinating insight into a day in the life of Seattle talk radio /via @toddbishop & @seattlepi http://bit.ly/cwI9GE #
@3am0n really, in the office? in reply to 3am0n #
thinks there's too much smoke on this BBQ … but at least the wine's here! – http://moby.to/5fjhj3 #
wonders what can be done with the 700,000 bags of salad Tesco will sell? http://bit.ly/dAxobf #
@pyweaver was right. The Scissor Sisters new album is getting some great reviews: http://bit.ly/apnoHq #
thankful he's watching @jakehumphreyf1 live as the BBC don't appear to have series linked to BBC2 on SKy+ – that's a bit of a poor effort. #
doesn't imagine the party was last night, but tonight …? : RT @OfficialMGP: Birthday boy @nico_rosberg http://twitpic.com/20ezrq #
Wimbeldon? RT @JontyJamesM: If Wimbledon is playing 2nd fiddle to the #WorldCup, #F1 is the fat kid stuck at the back with a triangle. #
even though the weather is beautiful I will be indoors for the #f1 but the TV may make it outside as the sun moves round for the #worldcup. #
wouldn't want Martin Brundle to call me an #f1 Brolly Dolly. Then again at least I'd be on the grid – so maybe it's worth it. #
has tips for #f1 grid walkers -don't talk to Bernie Ecclestone, be nice to Michael Schumacher & make sure your people book time with Nico. #
@LeeMcKenzieF1 I think a lot of English #f1 fans might agree with Jenson. Just for this race in reply to LeeMcKenzieF1 #
thinks the #f1 pre-race is funny RT @BakerLJ: Brundle and Eddie Jordan on the gridwalk is like a kid dragging his nerdy brother to the party #
asks if this is the slowest #f1 formation lap ever. #
has been answered by Martin Brundle. Thanks. Very slow #f1 formation lap indeed. #
watching the race set off and I know I want to be in Valencia one year: RT @OfficialMGP: #F1 Valencia: Air temp 26C, Track: 46C. Sunny. #
wooooooahhhhhhhhh. Just goes to show how much of an impact those cars can withstand. Hope @AussieGrit's OK. Looks like it. #
is not sure he agrees with the commentators: shouldn't the faster #f1 guys drive appropriately knowing there are slower people on the track? #
@Cornelia77 massive flip & smash but it looks like he was OK. Walked away and was driven off. in reply to Cornelia77 #
wonders how on earth Lewis was supposed to see that the #f1 safety car was such a fraction over the line ahead of him. Ahh, racing … #
RT @MajorGav: Mark Webber proves that Red Bull gives you wings. #F1 #
@pyweaver just pointed me to the funny iPhone 4 recall story: Fake Steve Jobs twitter confuses national newspaper: http://bit.ly/aaaSHA #
thinks you should check out @Philbradley's piece on the iphone recall – http://bit.ly/LCAT4 – a new meaning to don't believe the papers. #
then read down @philbradley's story to the bit about Barbara Ellen's Observer piece which will also bring a smile: http://bit.ly/LCAT4 #
congratulates Sebastian Vettel on his Valencia European #f1 win. But now we're counting just over 13 days & 21 hours to Silverstone. #
and congratulations to the @The_Real_JB for the third #f1 place. Fingers crossed for the post-race investigations. #
@Philbradley I concur with everything you said. I think it shows something about the state of paid journalism. Not certain what in reply to Philbradley #
@MikeGascoyne don't stop tweeting during the races. I love the #f1 insight and following teams on Twitter gives a whole new dimension. in reply to MikeGascoyne #
wonders if he has time to paint his house before the big match. Is this a good look? http://flic.kr/p/85DNMk Or shall I grab a beer? #
@pyweaver says that although @The_Real_JB is third, he looks like he's 2nd on the podium because he's so much taller! #
too right @legardj – we can't wait for this year's @SilverstoneUK #f1 race. Bring on the sunshine and the racing. #
has just picked up the remote and made the channel and sporting switch. As the German got the #f1, I assume this #worldcup is ours. #
doesn't have the hair to pull of the #worldcup look: http://bit.ly/b01EGu – fortunately, I'm staying in front of the TV so nobody will see! #
@Cornelia77 I've already dispatched the authorities to come and get you. Are you in a pub or in hiding? in reply to Cornelia77 #
@GrandPrixDiary all #f1 drivers wish they were football players; while all football players drive flash cars thinking they're in #f1. in reply to GrandPrixDiary #
Oh dear. It was a cracking goal kick but, really, somebody was asleep in this #worldcup match. Come on #eng! Time for calm heads now. #
RT @suellewellyn: Bet the psychic octopus is waving his arms about. #ger #worldcup < as are a lot of people in England, just not in glee. #
thought there were supposed to be some #eng players defending. Have the rules changed and they're not allowed to do that any more? #
sees that the Germans can use face paints too, but I would have thought they would be smiling now. http://flic.kr/p/gXTQn #
asks the England fans not to worry too much. Andy Murray will win Wimbledon, won't he? (We can adopt him) #
@GrandPrixDiary buy them to sell at Silverstone; you'd make a fortune because there'll be pressure on Lewis & Jenson to give #eng a win. in reply to GrandPrixDiary #
so, congrats German: #f1 & #worldcup match. Twitter also mentions your Eurovision win but you probably want to keep quiet about that, huh? #
raising the flag regardless. At least I would if I had a flag to hand (which I don't): http://flic.kr/p/8dAkVQ #
RT @MelCarson: Where's Ian Botham when you need him? #eng #worldcup #
can't believe that he's tweeted so much about sport today. Normal service might be resumed at some point. #
thinks it will be the return of Top Gear that will be today's highlight: http://bit.ly/ROuux – what will replace the reasonably priced car? #
is laughing: RT @ben_boi: â€œ@Yeloop: Just realised #WorldCup is like Eurovison for straight boys… 2010 and #Eng is Jemini.â€ #
@Cornelia77 they gave up looking for you hours ago. Now thinking you'd be an improvement on the England manager. Expect a call from the #FA in reply to Cornelia77 #
hears humour in aisle 3:RT @asda: Free eye test for anyone with a Uruguayan passport after Lampard's goal disallowed: http://bit.ly/Eyeoffer #
reads a well thought out pro-paywall discussion but the references to illegal downloads are disingenuous & nonsensical: http://bit.ly/c2mykV #
reports it's not all bad news. Online advertising has not been affected by the recession as much as other forms of media: http://ow.ly/23TYH #
follows up on a tweet from @jeffjarvis yesterday and asks what happens if pay wall users reject advertising? http://go.curnow.org/paywall #
loves Alonso's "it's a scandal" outburst yesterday. Makes #f1 so much fun. Here's how @jamesallenonf1 saw it: http://ow.ly/23UeJ #
