Leisa picks up on a Twitter exchange between myself and Tom Coates following her London IA talk.

"I really struggled with whether or not to write a response to this post. It’s full of generalizations and misinformation. For example, to say that content strategy as a discipline unilaterally teaches that “great content attracts its own audience and that SEO ruins content” is, well, weird."

"The Internet is not and has never been a static creation. What it is and how it works has always been in a constant state of flux and that, in turn, has drastically changed how we work with it."

"This Wall of Shame is being assembled by various people, many of whom are on the ground in Japan as residents, not temporarily assigned journalists, who are sick of the sensationalist, overly speculative, and just plain bad reporting that has gone on since the Tohoku quake in Japan last Friday"

"In a package of proposals to be unveiled before the summer, the commissioner intends to force Facebook and other social networking sites to make high standards of data privacy the default setting and give control over data back to the user."

“The platform belongs to us but the conversation belongs to everybody”

"The newspaper ad business isn’t looking any healthier than the recorded music business. Nor is it looking any less delusional"

"Content strategy has been around for a long time...but it's really only been in the last two years that the larger UX community has started paying closer attention to content strategy. In 2008, not a single UX conference had a session or workshop devoted to content strategy; In 2010, nearly all of them did".

"'I want you to burn on a bonfire while your mother watches on over your charred remains!'. No, Swans aren’t playing at this year’s #SXSW festival. Rather, this was an example of one of the many abusive comments aimed at music vloggers."

Great little app to see the Underground rendered showing the real time intervals between stations. Sadly not a "Time travel tube map" though...
