Couple-o-things

Here are a few bits and pieces that’s been going on in my professional life of late.

ITV SMNR

As mentioned in Mad.co.uk and BrandRepublic, ITV has begun issuing SMNRs (using webitpr) to the online audience. The first one went out last week which detailed the ITV2 winter schedule. It includes an introduction from Michelle Ryan, formerly of Eastenders and now star of American show, Bionic Woman, which is also part of the winter line up. As far as I know, ITV is the first broadcaster to be using such releases. More to come too. And of course we’re chuffed.

Ben wrote his thoughts about it over on his blog also.

SMS TEXT NEWS UNLIMITED DRINKS

Attended my first SMS Text News Unlimited Drinks event the other night while I was in London. Really good to meet Ewan again and also some other movers and shakers in the mobile space. In a word ‘wow’ - chatting to a few mobile industry insiders about the mobile products they’re involved with and there’s no doubt that the mobile space will be bursting with life changing applications in the near future. Like the internet, mobile phones are in their infancy and the possibilities are endless, quite literally. A few years from now we’ll all be laughing about how we were in awe of the iPhone and its touch screen, wi-fi and easy access to YouTube.

And, yes, Unlimited Drinks does what it says on the tin and, yes, I did have more than one. Thanks Ewan! Full write up here.
