Companies
watching Internet media - 17 July
I notice that more and more companies, especially the really big
ones, are hiring staff to watch the social media and things like
that. A friend of mine recently wrote on Twitter about
the fact that he felt that the Virgin Active branch at Old Eds was
on a steady slide, and he was contacted within an hour or so by
representatives of Virgin Active. - Michael

15 July
A 15-year-old Briton has set the financial world abuzz with a
research note penned for a major US bank in which he reveals
teenagers' media habits - including that Twitter is just not cool.
Matthew Robson wrote the report while on work experience with US
bank Morgan Stanley in London, and the result was described by his
boss, Edward Hill-Wood, as "one of the clearest and most
thought-provoking insights we have seen". The research note has
been circulated to Morgan Stanley clients. - Business
