How many nightclubs and club nights does Brighton have? Lots. How many tie-in Club night online-TV-series does Brighton have? Maybe just one:

After one too many bad experiences with Brighton club-promoters Howard Kaye and Jamie O’Mara came up with the idea of “This Is Brighton” idea, a mockumentary to Brighton’s Nightlife scene.

Most promoters in Brighton are sleazy and arrogant, and the series was founded to exploit these promoters to people that would have no clue. The series focuses on the well known company ‘Air Promotions’ in the run up to the launch of their club-night ‘OMG LOL’. The team behind This is Brighton have created the series to appear like The Office, or Curb, and in true mockumentary style comes across comical. There are 6 characters that represent the promoter, DJ, Photographer, and the promo girls.

newspaper-logosSometimes you catch glimpse of one too many similar news stories within a fairly small subject area, and think that behind the scenes there must be some blanket policy to push through everything and anything that’s relevant with little regard for contradiction or accuracy.

Health is an important topic to most individuals, a fact known and seized upon by the popular media. Consumers are obsessed with thinking they know what is good for them and what will cause them harm, because that of course is the secret to why we’re living so long, and why we take such good care of ourselves. Being able to opine “you shouldn’t do that, it’s bad for you” is part of the know-it-all’s core skillset. But where do these speculations typically come from?

Take The Kardashians for example. No matter how much you despise something or know how damaging it can be to the bigger picture, they always come back, to your annoyance. Well, in the SEO community (in the financial sector in particular), we’ve seen an ugly friend rear their ugly head once again – the EMD. Although, not to be confused with a digital sexually transmitted disease, the EMD is an acronym for ‘Exact Match Domains’ – so websites that rank well, simply by having the name of the keyword within the domain itself.

We also have a PMD (a not so serious one), which is ‘Partial Match Domains’, who have also come juggernanuting back into the fold. Here, I am to explore the return of the EMD in the UK within different sectors and offer some possible insight into why this may have happened.

We all know that over the last few years the High Street has taken a battering with a combination of economic downturn and the rise of a new competitor marketplace online. However it would be wrong to look at this homogeneously as the High Street versus Online. Online retail sales have trebled in the past 6 years, however they still ‘only’ account for 11% of all retail sales. (see image from emarketer)

How much do we all spend online globally? Well this year, according to research from emarketer e-commerce sales worldwide broke the $1 Trillion mark for the first time. To put that into some sort of context, $1 trillion is roughly the entire GDP of Indonesia or 20 year’s of revenue (at current values) for Google Inc.

Despite the worldwide slump and recession hitting many countries, 2012′s Global e-commerce spend saw a growth of 21%. The three biggest nations, in terms of total spend were USA, UK and Japan, with China set to take second place over the next couple of years. In terms of region growth, Asia Pacific, with a surging China and newly active Japan, is set to overtake a recession hit western Europe.

Twitter Vine is a new mobile service that lets you create and share short looping videos. Twitter Vine was introduced on January 24th and is designed to encourage Twitter members to share clips recorded on their smartphones. Whereas previously we had 140 characters to describe how we were feeling, now we have a short video where Vine gives Twitter an entirely different platform to share ideas and thoughts.

TwitterVine

 

How long are Twitter Vine videos?

Six seconds. It works in a similar way to the 140 character ethos you get on a post in twitter, in only having a maximum of 6 seconds per video. But what’s best about the video offering is that you are able to take stop-motion videos, thus condensing more imagery into one video.

How do I get Twitter Vine?

If you have an iPhone, you just need to go to the Apple App store and download the free app. Currently the Twitter Vine app is only available for Apple iOS devices, such as the iPhone, but it won’t be too long before available on other operating systems, such as Android, Windows and Blackberry. We’ll update this post when Twitter Vine is available on Blackberry handsets.  Read the rest of this entry »
