| 43% of Londoners use social media to find a job [infographic] | | Polly Becker | | 19 October 2011, 10:47AM |  Great infographic here on how the efforts of Londoners to find a new job are changing via social media. It is no surprise that many of us are using social media to plot our next move. What’s interesting is that employers are so far behind and that recruitment teams are really still based in the sales culture of the past.
| | | | The week in search?my money is on Google Voice | | Stefan Hull | | 19 October 2011, 10:22AM |  After seeing two demonstrations of Google Voice Search in two weeks (one successful, one not so – presenter to phone: “Where is the beach?” Phone to presenter: “Where is the b****?”) it seems the battle has been joined between Google and Apple (Siri).
| | | | How social networks have got identity all wrong | | @gordonmacmillan | | 19 October 2011, 8:24AM |  Interesting video here from the presentation that 4chan founder Christopher Poole gave at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco yesterday. He argued that the big social networks (okay Facebook and Google) have got “identity wrong” in how they tie users to one identity on the web.
| | | | | | | Designing an infinite digital bookcase by Google | | Polly Becker | | 19 October 2011, 7:56AM |  Interesting post on Google’s Code blog about what would the digital bookcase look like? Are these the cases we could have on our walls in years to come? Pick a book and upload to your e-reader while still having the illusion of books and knowledge on display. Sorry, but I want my book cases.
| | | | The role of social media in brand storytelling | | Gemma Went | | 18 October 2011, 10:33AM | | Brand storytelling is a bit of a buzzword right now. You can't read a magazine, blog or agency website without it cropping up in some form or other. I guess it's not rocket science; people love stories. When they resonate, we connect with them, we remember them with ease and we pass them on. | | | | The splintering of the mobile industry | | Jon Michael Bishop | | 18 October 2011, 9:23AM |  Since the launch of the G1 in 2008, it looked like the mobile device industry was a two horse race with iOS and Android, uh-humm, streaking ahead of everyone else. This all changed with two big industry announcements: Google buying Motorola's mobility division and Amazon launching the Kindle Fire. In two foul drops of a press release, my dreams of a world where all devices worked together seamlessly regardless of the operating system or manufacturer were shattered as I was reminded that there is no section covering 'playing nicely together' in the capitalist's handbook.
| | | | Dislike: Facebook's failures, criticisms and missteps [infographic] | | Dan Leahul | | 18 October 2011, 9:11AM | If you're a Facebook user, and there's about a 1-in-6 chance that you are, there's little doubt you have experienced at least one "Facebook-stential" crisis already. We've all been there?with cursors lingering tantalisingly over the delete-account button and minds relishing over books unread, afternoons unsquandered and privacy relinquished?while sitting in our pants contemplating "Why?" in the eerie-2 a.m. MacBook glow. No? Maybe just me then. | | | | Tracing the roots of #OccupyWallStreet from a single tweet | | @gordonmacmillan | | 18 October 2011, 8:31AM |  Digital marketing agency iCrossing has done some interesting analysis looking at where Occupy Wall Street came from and how it spread. It found that its roots were deeply embedded in the emerging social media culture and that each instance of the movement initially emerged online.
