About
I live in south west London. I work in communications - specifically in the dark arts of internal communication and employee engagement. I'm a geek at heart and am passionate about the potential for the social web to allow people to collaborate, participate and make their own choices, both at work and in their communities.
This is a collection of bits and bobs, collected and bookmarked as I idle across the interwebs - some work-related, some not, some which are probably of interest to no one but me.
Any views expressed here are either my own or those of the originating author, not those of my employers.
For more regular ramblings, you can follow me on Twitter or read my blog.
