I was delighted to read recently that a new centre for the LGBT community was due to open in Vauxhall, SE11. The scene has long been dominated by clubs under railway arches, and to be honest, the "L", "B" and "T" provision in the area might be said...

Gareth McLean: Why life isn't quite as exciting as telly
So I was on the bus the other day and these people got on with a dog. A right big dog. A rottweiler, in fact. Now it looked relatively friendly – much more friendly than its owners – but as they stood on the hinge bit (it was a bendy bus), the dog...

The problem with (integrating) social media
Image from mediabistro.com I think LoudTwitter is a really good idea, but I took it off this blog. It’s a good idea for the blogger but not so much for the readers. I liked it because I had a nice archive of my tweets, but I eventually realized that...

Interactive Chinese Subway maps
After TfL's bloggers' briefing, and your comments I've been thinking a lot more about the London Underground's online offerings and how the Tube map is displayed on their website. A lot of my techie mates are quite surprised to hear TfL won a Webby...

Facebook strategy for organisations
I’m a human, so I want to be friends with humans on Facebook. I think I’m probably not alone on this. Yet what should an organisation do if it wants to establish a Facebook presence? Increasingly organisations of which I am a member are creating...
