Exitlog | Leaving Impressions

Twelve months of hard work and enthusiasm has borne fruit – STAN, my home away from home, has been nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2009 Big Chip Awards.

The award recognises outstanding new talent in the North West within the digital media industry. STAN is one of a few businesses nominated for the award. The Big Chip Awards are in their eleventh year, and have come to be recognised as the definitive, digital showcase for those working in the sector up North (read outside of London and the South East). The awards are run by Digital Manchester, an organisation which supports North West based digital agencies.

Congratulations to AdInsight, worthy winners who beat us to the award. Just to be nominated is an endorsement of the work STAN has put in. Well done to the team.

Blogs take a hit when there’s Twitter…

Status updates on Facebook, and the business networking sites such as LinkedIn, can be cumbersome in busy working week – even a bit tedious. A full blog entry can be even harder to face. Twitter, with its haiku-inspired 140 character limit, is often the easy answer.

Longer than a status update and shorter than a full entry, this micro-blogging format might just be perfect (for those in a rush). The ease and attraction of Twitter, especially with several good iPhone applications to help, has become the flavour of buzz marketing and instant news. Exitlog has certainly suffered in its wake. Other blogs surely must be feeling the pinch as well.
