• Are you volunteering this NYE?

  As the end of the year approaches, usually I would be preparing for some voluntary work over this time – but for the first time in 10 years I will be at home with the family.

  Are you at home, out partying or volunteering this NYE?

• 10 myths about copyright & ownership
  Top ten things you need to know about copyright
  A discussion on another thread about copyright and the ownership of the written word reminded me of an article I wrote earlier in the year:Following call from a potential customer about copyright led me to recall some issues around what could and could not be “copied” or used. I found this valuable articleon copyright and have included the headlines in this article below.The Top ten myths around copyright are said to be:
• “If it doesn’t have a copyright notice, it’s not copyrighted” – Not true, the person that created it automatically has rights
• “If I don’t charge for it, it’s not a violation” – Not true, copyright protection is about the creative act
• Do you Empire Avenue?

  On my journey I came across this useful set of 100 tips on a “inside CRM” blog, which I hope you find useful too. It contains links to key articles and tools to help make the experience easier and more productive.

• Posting for posting sake – or sharing great content on @ecademy

  Have these blogs become a failure of their own success?We know that posting here is good for SEO, and getting noticed in the community, but surely its about great content too?

  Some people it seems are finding what they think are good links and posting a blog with a link to that content.

  On occasion they are caught out – as the link is in fact dead.
  So why post a link to dead content?

  Is this a real desire to share – or just blatant and bad strategy for SEO

  Time for ecademy to change the way blogs work?

  so PRIMO-F + PESTLE = SWOT
