Over the years I’ve discovered SME’s who’ve become victims of their own success. They might’ve launched a ground breaking innovation, which has proved extremely popular; perhaps they’ve smashed their sales targets. They have been so successful that the business has reached breaking point. They’re awake at 3am worrying about how they’re going to keep all […]

Howard suddenly […]

The London Team Part 2 with extra weight
Getting the backing from the community on such a project has been so pleasing, so many good comments and well wishes has made this a joy to work on, but getting the message out to London is a tough challenge you need the heavy weight of our social space to help with this If only […]
The London superswarm team
When I started this project I knew I would not be able to do this type of event by myself and that I would meet / pickup / bump into / be approaced by the best people. And I was right. As this is to be a foursquare community driven activity, I did not want to put in […]
Challenge One – What style of event should we pick.
So let’s get this clear, I have never organised a meet up or an event,so this is a challenge for me, but I think what we are trying toachieve is possible. While thinking through my strategy about creating a superswarm I came to the conclusion that there are two completely different approaches to the type of […]
What got me thinking
I don’t really consider myself a geek or anytype of cutting edge guy, but i have enjoyed foursquare from very early on. Back in August 2009, i found myself looking over the apps market at the new stuff coming over from the USA and of course foursquare, gowalla etc. was the buzz. It was 4sqr […]

“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 […]
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.

What we need, want and would like by Daniel Esparraguera
As a Counsellor I am interested in how people form relationships. In my consulting room I work on a one to one basis to form a relationship to explore the possibility of change. I’m not an advice giver in a therapeutic situation, more a freer of space to allow someone else the respect they […]
“Do you know why you want to use Social Media?” #LLBS #TAGtribe
“Do you know why you want to use Social Media?” “I heard it was the next thing!” “Well we say a bit of old with new is what you should do, find the balance!” The panic of getting on social media is a waste of time; many people are running around town shouting things […]
When Bernie chopped his finger off…
