Anyone that follows me on Twitter will know that I have just returned from the Cannes Lions Festival where Hill & Knowlton was playing host to its own seminar (the first time PR has been included in 56 years).

We decided to show off a bit so recruited Twitter co-founder Biz Stone to speak and held the festival’s first ever live tweet-up.

You can check out videos from the seminar here.

I was lucky enough to hang out with Biz who turned out to be a class act and uncovered a few interesting facts about the man that you might not know:

• He’s a strict vegan and even wears “vegetarian” shoes
• He loves portmanteaus and can come up with them in seconds
• He likes tequila…but in a connoisseur kind of way not in a “slammer” kind of way

Check out the videos above as they offer some real insight into how Twitter came about, Biz’s thoughts on why it has become such a phenomenon and what the future holds.

Enjoy!

Come August, one of the ugliest blights on London’s landscape will finally be removed, or at least outlawed. That’s right, the “Golf Sale” sign will be no more and it couldn’t go quick enough.

I know we all have to make a living but seriously how effective are these? Ignoring the 14% fact, who wanders down Oxford Street wishing they knew where the nearest £3 Chinese buffet is, or goes on the hunt for a sheepskin (seriously?) coat with 70% off? And has anyone ever actually been to or even seen a golf sale!?

100 “boarders” (according to thelondonpaper) will soon be jobless which is a negative by-product of the clean-up but it is a decision that will benefit millions of residents and tourists.
