The journey begins - how to get a foursquare superswarm badge

It's easy really, just get 250 people together in the same room with a smartphone (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Palm and even web enabled phones); get them all to check in over a three hour period and it's done - you get the happy badge: It's as simple as that. Or is it??? In the USA there have been a number of superswarm badges and the first 20 are listed here. But there has still not been one achieved in the UK. But we have big events. Even if we look at recent big gatherin

‘Can you endorse me?’ #LinkedIn - What do you do?

Every so often I get a message in my LinkedIn inbox that that says ‘Can you endorse me?’ – My reaction is often that a little bit of me dies inside, you have spoilt the moment for me.I asked for recommendations at one point and I called or emailed everyone personally it was very important to me to do it that way. If someone calls me up and asks for help, explains the context of what they want I am happy to help, in this way I find I can get an ‘authentic sweet spot’ that I can talk to others abo

#FindBritain I found Britain in Argentina

#FindBritain - what got me into this when I married Super Cool Wife five years ago. People from Argentina are SO proud of their food – really it is just meat, red wine with the occasional bit of salad. When they asked what do you eat in the UK..... um...

When I married into another culture it was not all plain sailing. Howe

To me it HAD to be community before it could function. Maybe it did not? It needed to move, evolve

“Showing up is 80% of how you Community-cate” #llbs

We say showing up is what counts these days, 17 zillion followers online? Great if you are Jay-Z, Barrack Obama (who) or Apple because that is appropriate to their relationship with their fans and customers. Our question is how do you communicate with your community? There is a very strong case to say that we live in an ‘engagement economy’ perhaps you might want to interpret this as ‘engage with someone and they will enter your economy.’ People that show up consistently in times

SME 2.0? Saving London from crap Social Media advice #llbs

SME? What is that mystical category of business that is ‘The SME’? It seems to range from Alan in his attic in Angel to Alan Sugar in his atrium in Canary Wharf.  Here at TAGtribe we have seen SME’s everywhere getting their knickers in a twist with that early 21st Century phenomena called Social Media; finally our souper hero mates Mitchell andSmallwood could tolerate it no more. The Enemy Done with watching people kamikaze themselves on facebook, ply the twitter world with
