Media See-Saw - Enigin View

Do you not just love the media - they swing from one opinion to another and then they are so often tainted by political angles.

Climate change and becoming energy efficient is a case in point, you will see papers and TV pick up the story and promote sensible energy use and environmental solutions - the next day they will run with the anti-climate change lobby and start calling people tree-huggers and alarmists.

注册Facebook!

Mark Zuckerberg, 26, is one of the most admired and yet by some hated individual across most continents.

The founder and creator of Facebook, recently made ever more visible through the film Social Network, has had an incredible impact worldwide with his social networking system.

He is oft regarded as precocious but has also been named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year”, the world’s youngest billionaire seems to draw admiration and criticism where ever he goes.

Social Networking has become a target for most businesses, at Enigin we realise how important it is to get your company’s name and profile “out there” - allowing people to see the human face of a company. Zuckerberg could be about to get a major explosion of his service.

What A Difference A Day Makes

By Steve Hill

I follow my local football team, soccer team for our North American cousins, and that means a weekend can be made or broken by the result of the latest match.

I worked for the football club for many years and enjoyed the most successful time the club has experienced, since I left, and I am not insinuating it has anything to do with me, the team have struggled and suffered relegation last season (again for our North American cousins, relegation means dropping down to a lower League).

The Pope is Getting out of the Car

The media goes loopy trying to fill 24 hour coverage.

During the past week the Pope has been taking a historic tour of Britian - remember your history, Hnery VIII and all that.

The media went into high gear and beyond. Sky News ran a series of adverts that appeared to be promoting a rock group’s tour, bizarre and then the 24 hour UK coverage took over.

If the Pope scratched his nose it seemed to commented on and if they could have put the cameras into his private rooms they would have.

We saw getting out of his car with full live commentary, with an ‘experts’ comments on the security detail, the car, the pope, the weather and so on. The car was followed to its destination and so on.

They filled in with interviews with what seemed like anybody, with some seeming a little clueless about the Pope.

I wasn’t at all interested in the Pope’s state visit but I couldn’t get away form it. 24 hour news is great for somethings but when all the nations news services are showing the same thing live, in this case an old German man on a trip, when I was trying to catch up on news but I couldn’t every channel had the same coverage!

Every Cloud….

THE environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico produced a media frenzy.

Some may feel this media coverage was justified, others, including myself, feel again that most of the media, not all, swooped on the potential disaster far more than they needed to - as expected.
