When SOPA Comes to town
The US is is considering a bill known as the Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA. Hopefully it will not be passed in it’s present form, you can read why here on our HyperHippie.com. But inevitably a SOPA version will get passed and it will have an effect on every business using a variety of online services worldwide. For instance, those of us using video will no longer be able to use any copyrighted material in our videos, music is a major contributor here. This of course is understandable and we here at GMGi have been using royalty free music for some time now. Even if you were to...
Read MoreExtra, extra, read all about it!
When the first iPhone appeared on the scene (seems like an age now) my negative attitude toward anything with a half eaten apple on it prevailed and I held off on the smart phone scene for Android. Partially because of my views on Apple products but mainly because Android was open source and anyone with coding experience or otherwise could jump on board, this of course eventually led to Androids market share success. When friends of mine started to praise their almighty iPhone I quickly rebuked them with thoughts of “I don’t even like you!” I blankly refused to climb on to...
Read More11/11/11 A Global Event
Well hello there, as you may already be aware, this coming Friday will be the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year. For most of us alive today, this will be the only time we will see six ones in a row pertaining to our position within the time space continuum, “just some fancy words thrown in there to make it sound like I know my stuff, I don’t I assure you”. Several weeks ago, a fellow TED member approached me and asked if I would help in promoting the following Global event here in our Emerald Isle. Without thinking for very long, I said yes. So now I in...
Read MoreAre We Missing the Big Picture? Literally!
I have 2 friends, who’s names escape me right now, and they both know that my greatest passion outside that of my family is the Internet. When it first sucked me in at the beginning of the 90′s it possessed me and has not let me go since. I have seen the Super Information Highway evolve from static un-styled content to what it has become today, a virtual dynamic universe of information that is no longer just limited to the desktop, but is and has entwined itself in every aspect of our daily lives. So this leads me nicely on to this topic, Are We Missing the Big...
Read MoreSocial Media – As useful as a cheap toaster
I have a cheap toaster and it is useless. Pointless even. It doesn’t fit the bread I use. And no, I didn’t buy it. Needles to say, if the person who did buy it ever reads this post, I will have some explaining to do. I often get asked, “should I have a Facebook page?” and the general answer is yes. It doesn’t matter whether your B2B or business to consumer, you need to stake your claim on your little corner of the blue and white world that is Facebook. What you do with your Facebook page is a completely different issue. If your business is...
Read MoreDoing something for someone else is….
Doing something for someone else is, or at least should be, a reward in it self. Especially if that someone else has done much for you. Even more especially if that something allows you to be creative, if it allows you to draw on every thing you have learned and experienced to date, or at least some of it. So what am I blabbering on about, I hear you think to your self. A couple of weeks back I was asked would I like to help create a promotional video for a Dublin based charity. Create a video to be entered in to the bettertogether.ie video competition, where the winning videos...
