@Rubytv cool. Looking forward to updates form cannes. #
@sponsorchic Is it? I thought people followed manufacturers in Europe rather than drivers. in reply to sponsorchic #
@MediaProDana Ohh.. getting all technical. Expecting lots of live tweeting from the Hall of Fame tonight. in reply to MediaProDana #
Pondering BT Tradespace. Not exactly their core business. Why does it have to be branded BT? Do we need another business marketplace? #
getting into a @darkbluebook head space. #
@PRPeta Do Embargoes still exist? Seems like such a quaint idea in 2009 with Twitter etc.. #
“The Whiz-Man will never fit you like the Whiz-Kid did” – Ben Folds #

@LewisHowes Walking out of a nice comfy corporate job to travel. Ending up 10,000 miles away and starting a new business. Never looked back. in reply to LewisHowes #

@evarley how about ‘what makes you special?’ #
@tomball2 I like the way you think tom. Why stop at events though. What about any venue? Like a #tag for venues would be cool. #
I do like twitterberry but it really needs a retweet function. #
@ryanstephens this applies double for sport. Never forget that fans would kill to stand the side of the fence you take for granted. #
@tomball2 if I knew what you meant I might be able to offer suggestions. Coveritlive? #
@sportsmktgrev brawn f1 was a bargain but they are asking for more with every race. Very f1. Clothing sponsor Henri Lloyd did well. #
@khuda1 brawn f1 gets more and more expensive every win. The Henri Lloyd deal would have been a bargain for sure. #
RT @Sponsoredux: New Blog Post: PGA Consider Coming into Line on Spirits Sponsorship.http://is.gd/v6je #
Twubs: Wikipedia-Style Hubs for Twitter Hashtags http://viigo.im/pGP #
Busy day. Meeting in feltham. Networking event at eight members club later. #

Global Yacht Race gets to Boston, but Americans prefer other sports – like ping pong http://is.gd/uNyR (via @Sponsoredux) #
@mikeseaton All very well, but it doesn’t help the payout percentages in reply to mikeseaton #

If all the runners in the London Marathon have timing chips, haven’t the organisers missed a trick not making that a live feed online? #

Been playing with an aggregated #sportsbiz twitter RSS feed : thoughts? http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Sponsorship-redux-tweets #
@Ed_Sullivan Smart A-B. Buy low! The companies that know sports sponsorship works should be doing the same. Many bargains to be had. in reply to Ed_Sullivan #
RT @yachtbusiness: New blog post: Volvo Ocean Race Game is Sports Marketing Gold. http://is.gd/us05 #sportsbiz #
@blursailing Whatever technology works for them. Easy enough to ping twitter with your blog though. We’ll have to get Paul to do that. in reply to blursailing #
DARK BLUE BOOK is available for pre-order. Destined to become the bible for the #sportsbiz of sailing http://is.gd/urPF #
@blursailing I think any professional sailor who cares about their fans or sponsors should be on twitter. #

Great powerade flavour that I found in Athens airport but can’t find in the UK – blood orange. #

Don’t really understand online check-in. Is it purely to give you the sense you are choosing your own seat? #
@sportsinfo101 Nice point. Though does ‘following’ someone constitute a relationship? It’s a nice starting point thought. Thoughts? in reply to sportsinfo101 #

@alexbainbridge commoditisation leads to price competition doesn’t it? Innovation can lead to justified increased margin… in reply to alexbainbridge #
Why can’t we get the BBC World News in the UK. It is a much more informative product than BBC News 24. #
How do people in the business of sailing communicate? Do they get ’social media’ yet? Do they get media yet? http://is.gd/tCbB #
