i-love-bloggingYou will see from the most recent posts that it hasn’t been me putting fingers to the keyboard it has been that hardworking husband/business partner of mine who clearly finds things he wants to blog about or rant about or talk to the world about.  So why do I have such a problem?  It’s not for lack of wanting to tell you about our new customers …. more blog posts to follow on these, it’s not for the lack of interesting stuff I read online or for developments that mean something to us.  To be honest I think it is laziness.  You have to get into a routine with blogging I think, actually I think I need a routine for every bit of social media integration otherwise I just keep putting it off.  Why do I do this when I know that people interact with me more the more I blog, Tweet, Facebook…. again laziness is the answer.  But, do I just want to blog for the sake of it or should I wait until there is something useful to say?  Well if I was blogging as a hobby then I guess I would just blog about everything and anything, but this is a business blog so I don’t want to be frivolous do I?  Ok ok we all know  I am the human face of Aviemore Business Solutions so perhaps I should just carry on being me and do a flurry of blog posts as and when I am in the mood.  Anyone else feel the same way?  Answers on a blog post ……

Simon’s Cat – a viral media success

Nov 17 2009

simons catAnyone who knows us also knows we share our living/working space with 3 cats.  So the phenomenon of Simon’s Cat through viral media channels is no surprise to us and is actually a delight that we can relate it, somewhat spuriously I agree, to our working life in that social media played a huge part if not the main reason for it’s success. 

To view one of the hugely popular short films on YouTube then have a look here and hopefully you caught the interview with the real Simon on BBC breakfast this morning.  Just shows the power of social media, viral distribution and the power of the Internet – as if we didn’t know that already!

And to be honest, if you don’t ‘get’ Simon’s Cat then you are clearly neither a cat owner or lover as these films capture completely what it is like living with our furry friends.  And for dog lovers there is one short film about an overstuffed dog produced for the RSPCA which is also well worth a watch.
