Telegraph week 2

November 14, 2007 · Posted in My Telegraph, journalism, newspapers · Comment 

Well, I’ve been at the Telegraph for a week now, and I’m doing something very different than I expected. In a good way. I’m now working on some super-cool stuff around My Telegraph, stuff that will make My Telegraph look like child’s play if we get it right.

I’ve also been able to bring in a couple of my ex-colleagues from Interesource, Neil Kleiner and Abbie Walker, both of whom have worked on social media projects for a while now. Neil used to work at the Mirror, and Abbie was key to the development of DoggySnaps. They will be helping me to work through the mountain of ideas that are bouncing around and to turn them into a implementable plan.

It’s very exciting indeed.

2020

Shane Richmond is on holiday for the next couple of weeks and, as he explains on his blog, is opening it up to a number of guest bloggers who will each blog once.

He’s asked me to be one of those who contribute their view of what the web will look like in 2020. Sometimes I feel that I have no idea what it will look like next week, so I’m not sure what I will actually talk about yet.

Suggestions are welcome required.
