16,000 members; a LinkedIn brawl; mute marketers; James Caan; and patriotism

 

Life is a rollercoaster – you’ve just got to ride it, they say. But if our great nation had wanted a feeling of constant nausea we’d have formed an orderly queue round Alton Towers and spent the afternoon upside down on Oblivion. Instead, we’re forced to drink beer and throw crisps about the place with random abandonment, as we watch ‘our boys’ whoop, weep and wriggle their way more unfeasible obstacles than an SAS assault course.

Come on England, our economy needs you!

 

This week in the UK’s largest online marketing community:

In the Lounge

Who are the biggest technology marketing agencies? David Bernstein requires your expertise.

Why don’t people ‘chat’ on social networks? Isn’t that the point? Interested to see who joins in this.

Which channel has proved most successful in helping you find a job?

Online trade press?
Job board
Recruitment agency?
Social media/networking?

We’re all off to the local village carnival; aside from the obligatory coconut-shy, they’ve got an enormous tombola and tea-cup ride, which if spun quickly enough makes your eyes water. We’ll hold off on the sense of nausea until Sunday, thank you very much.
