I’ve been wondering which are the most useful Twitter apps. There are loads of lists published, but I find these subjective if they’ve come from one person. Plus it depends entirely on how you use Twitter, which mobile you use etc. I think there are one or two apps that people universally agree are essential. But what of the others? Maybe we’re missing out on some great apps that make Twitter life that little bit easier. So I thought I’d do a little survey here. The question is simple:

May I introduce the fabulous Su Butcher (@subutcher to you tweeters) who has written an excellent post on her experience of Google Wave for The Cube and how we might move forward with it.

I don’t know about you, but every corner I turn at the moment I seem to be bombarded by ‘MUST ATTEND SOCIAL MEDIA’ events. There seems to be a bit of a rush in the air. That if we don’t attend our lives will suddenly turn sour. We’ll never be the same again. Or something.
As the title suggests, this is the second part of Julie Jenson Bennett’s post on developing a happy client/agency relationship (go here if you’ve not read it). This is directed at product development partnerships. But, as before, I do think a lot of this rings true for most agency relationships. read more…
