I've blogged before about twitter fails, specifically JPMorgan's disaster last November, and it illustrates how companies are finding it challenging to adapt to the new connected world. Another great example of such behaviour was sent to me by a friend this week. A little known chappie with the twitter handle UKDazza (me suspects he's called…
I was watching this great advert documentary about Amazon on the BBC this week. It’s a rocking organisation that most of us mere mortals watch with wonder.

I saw a great but scary presentation this week from Kamran Meer, Chief IT Security Officer at Bank Alfalah, the sixth largest bank in Pakistan.
