What happened on May the 7th, 2010?
We organised our biggest event of the year in collaboration with the media and marketing clubs at Oxford and Cambridge MBA programs on May 7, 2010 in London. We were covered on Mashable, WSJ, FT.com and numerous blogs on the internet. We even had an unnamed media crew who gate crashed our event venue to get exclusive interviews from speakers!

This blog is crawling toward a painless death, so I have pledged to post any new interests in social media that I chance upon.
Here is today’s …

Murdoch may block Google searches
The billionaire told Sky News Australia he will explore ways to remove stories from Google’s search indexes, including Google News.
Mr Murdoch’s News Corp had previously said it would start charging online customers across all its websites.
He believes that search engines cannot legally use headlines and paragraphs of news stories as search results.
“There’s a doctrine called ‘fair use’, which we believe to be challenged in the courts and would bar it altogether,” Mr Murdoch told the TV channel. “But we’ll take that slowly.”
Mr Murdoch announced earlier this year that the websites of his news websites would begin charging for access.
The target had been for all its sites to charge by June next year, but indications are that this is now unlikely.
News Corp owns the Times and Sun newspapers in the UK and the New York Post and Wall Street Journal in the US.
Newspapers across the world are considering the best way to make money from the internet, particularly in a time of falling advertising revenues.
The risk is that charges may alienate readers who have become used to free content and deter advertisers.
