Come and join us in one or both of these places
I kinda like the mystery of not knowing what people are up to twenty four seven.
How did we manage in the old days. Somebody said recently that a lot of people spent a huge portion of their day looking a various screens and life is becoming a bit "unreal" in the process. Everyone seems to be zoned out on buses and trains with their various devices. Technology may be taking over a bit too much.
Seems the medium is becoming the message. Stephen Fry said on Facebook...Liverpool footballer Ryan Babel said on Twitter etc. Anyway in five years time all this will seem old fashioned with the advance of technology.
Having said all that good luck with the Geldof tweet thing.
It has basically been set up to promote the new album and single. Had a lot of interest from Mexico and South America, asking if the album will be available there. Can anyone from management clarify? On ITunes, or other sources? You never know, he might be No 1 in Guatemala. Have done 164 tweets in 5 days, even had a short conversation with Dave Stewart, who had an idea on different ways of promotiion. The Waterboys are following our tweets Enjoying it, but time consuming. Could not do it if I was working.
This morning Bob Geldof videos are "trending in Ireland" on twitter,which can only be a good thing. I dont know what numbers they base this on. Is it top 100, 50 , or what?
