LLG Tech: Instagram launches on Android

April 6, 2012 LLG Tech

  My old East Village room mate Laurent sent this Tweet yesterday: “100.000 reviews on Instagram Android. In 48hours. That’s 34 reviews per minute. Wooosh.…”  Instagram is, hands down, the most popular photo sharing app on the iPhone. In fact, it was the main reason I bought an iPhone…But I continually bemoaned the fact there wasn’t an […]

LLG Tech: Pinterest Updated. Watermarking & Copyright

March 4, 2012 Social Media

You may have noticed that I have started watermarking my photos on LLG. I used to look at other blogs that did this, and think, whoa, self-publicists ahoy! And then, of course, I got it. It’s all because of Pinterest. If your images are being re-pinned all over the internet, often without direct attribution, that’s […]

February 29, 2012 Social Media

A big thank you to The Independent, in association with Peer Index, for including me for the second year running in their annual Top 100 Tweeters, or as they describe it, “The Twitter 100: Britain’s titans of the Twittersphere…the guide to the UK’s most influential tweeters”. I’m kind of liking ‘titans of the Twittersphere’.  Sounds […]

LLG Social Media: What is Pinterest, & How to Use Pinterest, & How to Get an Invitation

February 27, 2012 Social Media

oh I do love Pinterest. And I am not alone: it’s one of the fastest growing social networks online in both the US & UK. (It currently drives more traffic than Google +, LinkedIn & Reddit combined to external websites.). Essentially it’s a place to ‘pin’ images you find on the web. You can then […]

LLG Tech: Red Online Blogging Masterclass

January 26, 2012 Social Media

There is much love for the UK’s Red magazine here at LLG mission control. (And not just because I won Blogger of the Year at the 2011 Red Hot Women of the Year Awards.) So when they asked me if I’d like to host their live Red Chat Friday session, of course I said yes. […]

DLD Conference 2012: Diving into the future of digital

Thumbnail image for DLD Conference 2012: Diving into the future of digital January 22, 2012 Social Media

I’m in Munich for two reasons: I’ve been asked to moderate an amazing panel here at the DLD 2012 conference. But I asked to be flown in for the entire three day conference rather than just on my speaking day. DLD (Digital — Life — Design) is a global conference network focusing on innovation, digital, […]

Instagram

January 7, 2012 Social Media

Like so many of my online friends, I find myself being sucked into the world of Instagram far, far too frequently. But what is this Instagram of which you speak, I hear you ask? Well, I’m afraid that it is a dreaded app, and therefore only accessible to those of you with an iPhone. But […]

On Social Media, Anonymity & DKNY PR Girl…

October 24, 2011 Social Media

As many of you know, I was anonymous for a long time — well, long in social media terms. From 2006–2010, LLG was written from behind a veil. It gave me what often felt like unlimited freedom. I never had to dissemble, or pretend to be, think or say anything other than the absolute, unvarnished […]

July 28, 2011 Social Media

“I usually love this blog but it seems to be going a bit Gwenyth (sic) Paltrow-Goop-ish lately. The cheapest option for that training is £650 for ten sessions. If you do five sessions a week that’s roughly £1300 a month and £15,600 a year. How many people can afford that? And that’s just the basic […]
