  1. @gethill -- I know. Bitly's revamp seems to force me to do 1 more click before I get a link. It's busyness, no extra functionality for me.
  2. @gethill -- I also popped a reply to your comment up at @mediabrief. Cheers!
  3. On mag publishers' slowish progress on tablets, I agree with @gethill: demographics must be part of it. bit.ly/LlDjNz < Corrected url
  4. @gethill -- Another reason to dislike bitly's recent redesign. I'll try again.
  5. .@gethill re: mag publishers' slowish progress on tablets. I agree: demographic angle must be part of it. bit.ly/LlDjNzb @mediabrief
  6. Guy Debord's film "The Society of the Spectacle" (90 minutes, b&w, 1973): is.gd/tZsegf RT @Chanders: RT @ubuweb
  7. How much progress are the UK's magazine publishers making with iPad apps? A load of data for you: by me @mediabrief bit.ly/L3aNy6
  8. Here's @GreensladeR on Telegraph's Wallace-Weaver buyout story. Sensible stuff, apart from wish for a "loving oligarch".http://bit.ly/M6ve1u
  9. Blimey. MoneySavingExpert makes £15.7m revenue, £12.6m (!) EBITDA. 60% of revenue comes from MoneySupermarket, the acquirer.
  10. RT @citizen_sane: The market cap of the Italian financial sector is the same as the market cap of Colgate-Palmolive. (HT @logan_nick)
  11. RT @psmith: @petekirwan I thought you couldn't make money on the internet?! < Funny what can be achieved without the weight of print legacy.
  12. Unfashionable & ugly, but brilliant: MoneySavingExpert underlines abject failure of newspaper personal finance coverage in the digital age.
  13. .@MartinSLewis sells MoneySavingExpert for £87m. Entrepreneur + journalist with relentless reader focus: that's the way you do it.
  14. @RickJWaghorn That would be true. Enjoy! #ncfc
  15. @RickJWaghorn -- Know you'd be having fun with that. #ncfc
