Twitter has changed and is continuing to change the way that we communicate as individuals and as businesses. It’s taken a while to work out how to get the most out of the platform, but I think slowly we are getting there, and the introduction of Twitter Lists has added another dimension to the way that we use it.
I’ve written a lot about Twitter since I started Seldom Seen Kid in March last year, and I thought that it was time to bring together some of these pieces into one collection. I have then, in good time honoured fashion, made a free downloadable Ebook featuring 20 of what I consider to be my most relevant/useful/interesting posts over the course of the last year and a half, which I hope you will have a read of!
I believe that free content perpetuates development, hence I’m into giving away my music for free, and thus I’m doing the same with this. You can of course dig through the Seldom Seen Kid archives and find all of these articles at your leisure anyway, but I figured it might be useful to have them all in one place so you can dip in and out as you wish.
I’d love to know what you make of the pieces, if some of the older ones are still relevant or not at all, and what else you’d like to see from me in the next year.
So, please download this collection of articles, and I hope you enjoy!

A Fascination With Fireworks November 7, 2009

What’s the fascination with Fireworks?
It is very much bonfire time in the UK, that annual event where we celebrate the capturing of an anti-government protestor who attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament a few hundred years ago (today he’d be called a terrorist).
I was at a fireworks display on Thursday at Roundwood Park in Willesden at It crossed my mind how many different people were there watching along. People from different ethnic backgrounds, ages, gender, all gathered to watch a twenty minute display of controlled exlposions that produce loud bands and bright lights.
What is the human attraction to such things? Animals don’t like them, why do we?
I think it’s to do with experiencing something different – it’s not often the average Joe in the street will come into contact with loud explosions for example.
What I loved though was that a vast range of people, from young families to old grandads and grannies, were all stood, in the cold, together, watching and hearing the spectacle, regardless of whther they knew each other or not – what brilliant things humans can be.

November London Blogger’s Meet Up November 5, 2009

The London Blogger’s Meet Up took place on Tuesday, sponsored by Paramount, and It was arguably the most fun I’ve had since the last one!
Wonderfully hosted again as always by Andy, we were treated to a talk from Marko Saric, blogger extraordinaire who was kind enough to run through his 58 ways to build a better blog. Marko was a joy to listen to and as engaging a speaker as I’ve had the pleasure to have seen.
As always it was great to catch up with a few regulars like Lolly, Hayley, Ant, Cristiano, Melinda, Tom, Peter and Sian.
It was also a pleasure to meet a few new faces (to me at least!) like Godwyns (a man who seems to write about pretty much everything from politics to erotic poetry), Kate and of course Marco!
It was nice to see a mix of newbies and regulars, and I hope that the venue, Doggett’s Coat and Badge, helped to facilitate that! Indeed, Doggett’s is a cracking venue with awesome views from the Southbank over the Thames – I for one would love to see it used again in the future for an LBM.
