The misinformation and disinformation problem

Anyone who spends even a small bit of time online on any of the social media platforms will quickly see the quantity of misinformation and disinformation being spread. Whether it is to do with migration or legal issues or covid or vaccines, the confidence and vehemence with which certain individuals spread falsehoods is a sight… Continue reading The misinformation and disinformation problem

Blogging is dead?

I saw a YouTube video yesterday entitled “Blogging is dead” or “Is blogging dead?” I must do a search for it today and take a look. But even if the thesis of the video is that blogging is dead from a marketing perspective, and that may well be the case, I will continue blogging for… Continue reading Blogging is dead?

I was 24 hours away from being an “unvetted male” myself 

It’s profoundly saddening to see the misinformation, disinformation, falsehoods and lies being spread all over the country about migration, voluntary and involuntary. To see decent people being manipulated to the point where buildings earmarked for homeless or immigrants/asylum seekers being burned to the ground is something I never thought I would see in Ireland. But… Continue reading I was 24 hours away from being an “unvetted male” myself 

Obsessing over certain marketing metrics-a mistake to avoid

It would be easy, and a mistake, to be overly concerned and obsessed with certain marketing metrics-for example, viewing figures and subscribers on my YouTube channel.

But in the video yesterday he was advising that you should now start a podcast as opposed to a… Continue reading Podcasting versus blogging-which should you choose in 2024?

Mickey Mouse running out of copyright in 2024

I came across an interesting copyright story this morning in the Irish Times. They are reporting that Disney is losing the copyright on Mickey Mouse in 2024 as the 95 year copyright in the United States expires in 2024. The character was created in 1928 and copyright in an anonymous or pseudo-anonymous body of work… Continue reading Mickey Mouse running out of copyright in 2024

Heading for 25,000 subscribers on YouTube

My YouTube channel is heading for 25,000 subscribers in the near future, touch wood. And it will be an achievement that I never thought I would see. In fact, I never even thought about setting such a target in 2010 or 2011 when I uploaded my first video to YouTube. The journey to this point,… Continue reading Heading for 25,000 subscribers on YouTube
