A few weeks back we shot a brief interview with Paul Wright for Curator.
Here’s the first edit…

Curator Exhibition
Curator is going to be running lovely little showcase events at popular venues across the length and breadth of Britain over the coming year.
We worked on the spec and design for a modular exhibition that they are going to be using. I’m a particularly big fan of the white gramophone.
Cudos to @DavidCurator for painting the whole thing though.
Better social workflow through RSS
Here’s a really quick tip for a nice way to build a nice little social media workflow using, of all things, RSS.
If you haven’t noticed it yet, it’s not really enough to just shout about the stuff you’re selling on Twitter. It’s all about conversations right? That, and finding people who’re doing things that might have some kind of mutual feeling with your thing.
Try using Reeder, or your other favorite RSS reading app to subscribe to a stack of blogs in your related industry. Ensure chosen blogs have authors that are on Twitter, and find said Twitter accounts. Rename each of the blog titles in your RSS app to their @Twitter_Username - now you’re perfectly placed to talk to those Twitter users about their latest posts without needing to look anything up ever again.
This really isn’t a trick or a hack or something. It’s just a simple principal - talk to your industry’s existing community about what they’re talking about, especially if it relates to what you’re doing.
Thought for the day
It’s a bit worrying when you read books like Good to Great, and see a business like Fannie Mae making such leaps and bounds in what seems like a positive direction, but you know that (with the benefit of hindsight) there is still something rotten at the core.
I guess even fifteen years of above-market performance still won’t insulate you from making some pretty bad decisions (and getting sued by the federal government).
