has an interesting week ahead but we start with the news that Irish online adspend 2009 approachesd â‚¬100m: http://bit.ly/bPoQZB? #
asks if this means mobile advertising has traction. Nearly a third of advertisers say it's now a focus: http://bit.ly/amjAPK? #
is quite amused at being called a veteran: http://bit.ly/c4y5mq – but thinks it might be better than 'old timer' that some have suggested. #

@Cornelia77 I have never screened your calls. Well, maybe once. in reply to Cornelia77 #
has, in his hand, the key – or at least one of them – to the new @aimatch London HQ: http://yfrog.com/n2s90kj #
@nicholasmills @Cornelia77 I hope it opens somewhere nearer than the Sun. I am told there are many fine establishments around here. in reply to nicholasmills #
@Cornelia77 @nicholasmills It's not just us tomorrow – so Soho is fine. I think I will be able to remember the way. It's sort of south. in reply to Cornelia77 #
is off to discover what's around our new office. It's more than 10 years since I worked just up the road so things may have changed! #
is, just like the old times, here: (@ All Bar One) http://4sq.com/6nc33s #
@Cornelia77 ah yes, but these old times are 15 years old & that's scary. What time are you arriving tomorrow? in reply to Cornelia77 #
learns 72% of online publishers use audience targeting and 33% say it enables them to sell inventory at higher prices: http://bit.ly/ckdQcE? #
@exchangewire agreed. It was the confirmation of the higher publisher returns that I felt was important and I would hope that's universal. in reply to exchangewire #
is pleased that we're in the new @aimatch London office. Nice clear desks so far! http://flic.kr/p/8psiXf #
@Cornelia77 Not at all. You'd be disappointed. It was a very sensible – although much fun – evening. in reply to Cornelia77 #
has had to acquire the first office umbrella thanks to the London weather. I am expecting it to be left somewhere by the week's end. #
has a handy summary for you: respect your users privacy when behavioural targeting: http://bit.ly/cQLEYl – thank you. #
thinks this implies ITV will build a micropayments system when, surely, it means accept micropayments for content: http://bit.ly/ddX90G? #
is having a little bit of a reunion this evening. (@ White Horse Soho) http://4sq.com/4w4c4o #
asks, because he'd like you to tell him, is content consolidation in mobile advertising is the way forward: http://bit.ly/bfJvKy? #
reads New Statesman reporting some Facebook advertisers have increased spending by as much as 20-fold: http://bit.ly/aQrPKL? #
admits he was sceptical but this Magic Whiteboard is very clever stuff. My drawing? Not so much. http://flic.kr/p/8pLg5w #
@riazkanani @hkanji: 4Sq may (or may not) be a fad right now but localisation & geo-awareness isn't. There's much added value in location. in reply to riazkanani #
is watching a man on a unicycle trying to navigate Tottenham Court Road traffic while carrying 2 large wooden planks. Amusing but madness. #
reads that an ideal publisher ad platform "would be 1 single system with great links into the buy side" http://bit.ly/cCHyMM (@AdMonsters) #
wonders if he should admit this: (@ Burger King) http://4sq.com/9woi2R #
watched some of the covers come off Covent Garden's new Apple store last night: http://flic.kr/p/8pYUpj #
@cookiedude will look forward to catching up next time when we can also ask you lots of questions about what you're doing now. in reply to cookiedude #
@hkanji thanks for the RT yesterday. I am fascinated by the response Facebook advertising is generating. in reply to hkanji #
@cookiedude plenty of time to prepare an answer in reply to cookiedude #
@MelCarson I do want to ask which turn of phrase amused them? There are so many that seem to set of big smiles … in reply to MelCarson #
reads a bold statement from @davemorgannyc: location-based services will take 20% of local media's ad revenue in 4yrs: http://bit.ly/bYUMIo #
ending the first week in the new @aiMatch London office. Former colleagues were the first visitors on Wednesday. http://flic.kr/p/8q1KHy #
noting that this is quite a lot of phones, don't you think? UK iPhone users to reach 6.4m this year: http://bit.ly/aBmMcJ #
has another take on the growth of iPhones in the UK. Up 200% in 2010 means lots of mobile opportunities: http://bit.ly/9QmoSQ #
wonders what an encouraging number looks like to Mr Murdoch? Paywall is the right strategy: http://bit.ly/dhhF6S #
@MelCarson ha ha When are you back? A beer or two would be good. in reply to MelCarson #
RT @gsterling: WSJ on mobile display ads: mobile CPMs: $8 to $15 (though much is less); rich-media CPMs $15 – $50. http://bit.ly/bUMbmD #
follows up his Apple store pic by recommending @TheNextWeb's video tour. Store looks massive: http://tnw.to/16eKp (by @Alex on @TNWapple) #
hears Martin Sorrell discuss web tracking. He appears to be advocating active user approval of tracking: http://on.wsj.com/catp4v #
notes Martin Sorrell also advocated ad industry self regulation, better targeting as a consumer advantage & better ROI for his clients. #
interesting response to the WSJ 'investigation' into ad tracking: do they have 64 3rd party partners? via @ukdigitalguy http://bit.ly/cqgxsh #
warns @nicholasmills that's he should have been in V for Vendetta. Compare: http://flic.kr/p/8q1XZY with http://bit.ly/9EX3Et #
realises @jeffjarvis is spot on with 'once-abundant privacy is now scarce'. Check the rest out at http://bit.ly/9igHKu #
just read a team of researchers found the technology website @mashable to be the most influential Twitter account: http://bit.ly/abteQ3 #
agghh, the weekend is here. I want to do one of those pointless tweets that says 'Happy Saturday'. So, erm, happy Saturday! #
wonders who he'll listen to today, after all, radio listening surged to a 10 yr high, so I should join in: http://bit.ly/dxvOFC #
finds this story fascinating: RT @GuyKawasaki: Digg users' vast right-wing conspiracy uncovered http://tinyurl.com/2e3tndm #
@tom_watson of all the things available in McDonalds, how do you fail on chips? There's an alarm to tell you when they're done and a scoop. in reply to tom_watson #
RT @nickpiggott: My #pure evoke flow is upgrading to v2.2. Suspect this is more for PURE's benefit than mine… #
has just upgraded his #Pure Evoke flow as @nickpiggott alerted us to the new version. Interested #DAB has become 'Digital Radio' in the UI. in reply to nickpiggott #
found @absoluteradio's ARX tests on the upgraded radio. Explaining the complexity of their football options appears challenging. #
@tom_watson of course, I imagine not serving 'manky' food is at the top a food chain's concerns. Good to hear they keep staff on their toes! in reply to tom_watson #
@GregBurnsDj ah, you're suffering from the curse of the extra-slow fast food. It's a creeping curse across chippys nationwide. in reply to GregBurnsDj #
thinks this bodes well for the season: RT @jiminthemorning: Shrewsbury 3 Bradford City 1! #stfc #
@cookiedude Well, Engage was on New Oxford Street (not that far away) but Accipiter was on Piccadilly then Holborn – so not as close. in reply to cookiedude #
@GaydarRadio Your coverage of #brightonpride today was excellent. Well deserved cocktails all round tonight? #
is supposed to be heading out but it's pouring with rain here in Earlsfield right now and I don't want to get soaked. #
thinks privet hedge man in @joemcelderry91's photo is a little frightening http://tweetphoto.com/37400424 #
watching a family picnic – wine & all – in the middle of this carriage (@ Clapham Junction Railway Station w/ 4 others) http://4sq.com/ipn35 #
has only 1 transport rule: the only train you run for is the last one of the night. (@ London Waterloo Railway Station w/ 3 others) #
RT @pyweaver: Sad news- one of my favourite restaurants … has closed: http://bit.ly/cK9Glc. .. gem that promoted locally sourced food. #
presents an amusing picture du jour: 166 iPads on a table, 166 iPads, take one down, pass it around: http://tnw.to/16ejD /via @TheNextWeb #
wonders what the Ask butler thinks about this – http://flic.kr/p/8qeRT8 – & I wonder if they have permission. #
@Cornelia77 how many jokes about the earth moving have you told? in reply to Cornelia77 #
Chaka Khan's Disrespectful, featuring Mary J. Blige, is a fabulous track & should be played at full blast all Sunday long. #
@Cornelia77 did you worry you'd had too much to drink and couldn't stand up? If the room was spinning that would be my actual 1st thought. in reply to Cornelia77 #
@Littlelupo @Markyja lovely to see you this afternoon too. Don't stay up all night reading! in reply to Littlelupo #
says congratulations to @The_Real_JB for finishing the London triathlon in 2hrs:14mins:14secs. #
is starting the week catching up on some of the interesting responses to the recent WSJ piece on online privacy. #
RT @davemorgannyc: Suggestion of "personal" data tracking in WSJ story-Lotame's response to story: http://is.gd/dWYop (@eporres) #
is "Data about you are not 'yours' if you don't do anything to control them" provocative or truthful? http://bit.ly/dc1hsq #
notes that data tweet was from Jim Harper's Saturday opinion piece responding to the Wall Street Journal coverage of online privacy. #
also provocative: "If you don't know about it, [cookies] you haven't been paying attention": http://bit.ly/dc1hsq #
RT @jeffjarvis: If only the WSJ's reporters were as reasoned as its op-ed guest re privacy. http://tinyurl.com/298vaqk #
sees that there isn't always space here to talk about some of the more work-related links. Attempting to solve that thanks to Posterous. #
wonders if you can respond to the question "What are you?" with the answer: "An advertising dot com": http://bit.ly/atSlU7 #
didn't note, last week, @exchangewire's response the WSJ ad targeting/tracking story but should have done: http://bit.ly/dhBTpl #
mentioned the iPhone a couple of times of Friday but missed @TCEurope's neat summary: 1 in 10 smartphones in the UK will be iPhone by 2012 #
