New National Anthem for Northern Ireland

I would like to propose a new National Anthem for Northern Ireland. After the incredible success of Ireland's Call written by Phil Coulter. Ireland's Call has not only been used extensively by Ireland's Rugby men but also by Hockey, Cricket, Rugby League and A1 GP teams.

My choice of a general song for a National Anthem of Northern Ireland will raise a few eyebrows:

'So come on Northern Ireland -Come on!'

'there is a whole lotta work to be done!'

'you can make it in the end -with a little bit of help from your friends'

'So come on Northern Ireland -Come On!'

Repeat to fade

A big shout out must go to the 'IDB' for composing such a masterpiece and of course to the girl with the incredible natural breasts featured in the advertisement. If she is still about -perhaps we could get a wee cup of Punjana sometime soon ;-)

if you are in need of some direction why not 'follow me' twitter.com/internetsense

if on the other hand you have an aversion to beautiful natural breasts perhaps it would be better if you 'unfollowed me'

Managers of One

About January last year I received a phone call from a student looking a 'work placement' with MatchMedia Ireland Ltd. This particular person I had worked with before, and those who are familiar with both myself and MatchMedia will know the gent to whom this applies. At the end of his 'placement' time I was asked to recommend him -or not as the case may be. I sat with a blank sheet of paper not really knowing what to say or indeed write (those who know me know this is an extremely unusual event). Eventually I simply quoted the business book that I had been reading and a passage entitled 'Managers of One'

 

Managers of one are people who come up with their own goals and execute them. They don’t need heavy dissection. They don’t need daily check-ins. They do what a manager would do – set the tone, assign items, determine what needs to get done, etc – but they do it by themselves and for themselves.

These people free you from oversight. They set their own direction. When you leave them alone, they surprise you with how much they’ve gotten done. They don’t need a lot of hand-holding or supervision.

How can you spot these people? Look at their backgrounds. They have set the tone for how they’ve worked at other jobs. They’ve run something on their own or launched some kind of project.

You want someone who’s capable of building something from scratch and seeing it through. Finding these people frees the rest of your team to work more and manage less.

Today I am very proud to say I gave a presentation at an 'Un Conference' called Bizcamp in the rather lovely I2 Cido Business & Innovation Centre in Craigavon. The subject of my talk was 'Entrepreneurship' a pretty taboo subject here in Northern Ireland.An Un Conference is a good place to -'try stuff'

But have you ever been at a business presentation that included quotations from Mickey Mouse,Balloo Bear,Dora the Explorer,Roland Rat,Superman,Top Cat,Bagpuss,Katie Price,Chris Eubank or Eddie the Eagle -if so -why not?

So my challenge: UnQuotes? quotations from truly unusual sources

iPhone OS 4.0 unveiled

With the annual iPhone hardware update due in a couple of months, Apple used the iPad launch hype to showcase the new iPhone OS which will undoubtedly be launched in sync with the new device this June (probably!?).

The new release is a massive shakeup of what's been mostly the same operating system for the past 3 years. There were a few 'radical' changes like implementing cut n' paste but play by play things haven't changed much.

The latest carnation of the OS looks like it's been worked on for some time and should make the experience a lot more engaging. It looks streamlined.

The key feature is multitasking, something a lot of users have been after for a long time. Palm pilots from the 90's and 00's had multitasking functionality, but one thing I've learned is that Apple only does something when they know they can do it right. In the words of Steve Jobs;

"It's like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it. In multitasking, if you see a task manager... they blew it. Users shouldn't ever have to think about it."

 

 

Other features include better email management, allowing you to switch between inboxes faster making dealing with different sectors of work that may require different addresses easier. We've also got application management folders, this means you can put all your games, all your productivity apps, all your networking into different folders and find things faster.

Since the iPhone has been a technical and productivity (well it depends how many games you have!) powerhouse ever since it came about it's easy to see things getting even better when this release matures. Apple are astonishingly brilliant at raising the bar with everything they create. I found myself last week staring at my iPhone and wondering what else you could possibly do to make this thing work any better and yet....here it is.

Perhaps most relevant is that this could change the way we do business. A big part of my work involves the iPhone with the MatchMeter and Appograph applications. As Apple continues to innovate so to do - in fact, so does everyone - making the list of interesting things we can do endless.

I look forward to test driving this release come June, who knows what it could have in store!

Opera Submits Browser App to Apple for Approval

 

Opera Software recently announced that its Opera Mini web browser app has been submitted to Apple's Appstore for approval. The announcement kicks off with a contest requesting guesses on how long it will take for Apple to approve the app, as well as offering an online count-up timer for the review process.

If they approve the app.

Opera iPhone browser uses server-side rendering to improve page loading performance, claiming speeds of up to 6 times faster than Apple's Safari on the iPhone.

The burning question however is will Apple approve a competing browser for the app store, thus giving up their love of a monopoly that held on to well for the last 3 years.

This is pretty interesting for a company like ours which deals in apps in the appstore such as the Appograph and MatchMeter, as they have had to go through Apple's stringent approval process.

This development is definitely one to watch as it may alter people's opinion on Apple's censorship of the appstore.

Watch this space!

Communication

In these times of ‘trouble’ it is important that both our ON and OFF Line ‘message’ is Bold, Clear and Concise, but with the off line world contracting and the online world ever expanding it is all the more important that our online message (Our Digital Voice) is delivered in a way that will not only ‘Impress’ the people that we are attempting to engage with but also that that message can be spread far and wide –at no, or indeed a minimal cost – and perhaps more important that our results can be easily accessed, accurately measured, easily quantified and continually improved and up-dated using the latest Communication techniques
In the field of ‘Communication’ InternetSense can be approached to speak at Schools, Colleges, Business Networking Groups and Associations on:-

Innovation

Don’t just Dream it –Do it!’ those of you who know Philip (Director InternetSense) know that essentially he is a Dreamer, an idealist, a man who is the World’s greatest advocate of the old mantra ‘work smarter rather than harder!’Recently something changed, Philip realised that it was almost as easy to ‘Dream Away’ an idea as it was to dream it up in the first place. So things had to change. Philip imposed some very strict rules to his Innovative thinking:-
1. Don’t just dream it –write it down, first on paper and later in a scrapbook
2. Tell Someone and or Show Someone –Don’t keep it to yourself
3. Apply for a Grant, Loan or Competition. This will help you both clearly visualise your idea or concept. It will let someone else be the judge of is this a good idea –yes/no/maybe
4. It will help you get a grip on your product or service and help you crystalise a clear path to market
5. And Finally…..Go For It! Stand up and be Counted!
