Ian MacKenzie commented on Arvind Salwan's blog post 'Why TellyLinks.com may prove to be a catalyst in convergence of technology by Arvind Salwan, New Media Corp'

Ewan McIntosh commented on Ian MacKenzie's blog post 'To Tweet or Not to Tweet?'

We've also been experimenting at extracting the signal from the noise on Twitter with a 4iP-supported project, FestBuzz.com, which takes the view of the crowd at all seven Edinburgh Festivals and tries to extrapolate crowdsourced reviews. More on th…
