Complete summary of @UWSInteractive Festival 2012: So what’s next?
Last week was a blast. It has taken me 4 days to archive the social media content that was produced during the first @UWSInteractive Festival, and 4 days to come to terms with the sheer amount of energy behind the event that lasted 4 days across 4 locations in the South West of Scotland. This was the first time since UWS was formed has their been a series of connected events to occur across all areas of the university’s catchment area and now having driven the entire distance between them in one week, you can really see and feel the …
Why Social Media Surgeries Work… @UWSDigital #uwsltas
Social Media Surgeries in Melrose on Flickr Last week we completed the final set of social media surgeries, the first half of the project that I’ve been part of in the south of Scotland.

What I’ve been working on: #dgsocialmedia explained
Realised that I’ve been *really* busy on a couple of things but I haven’t blogged about anything in a while (the problem when you only seem to write up things that you’ve completed or attended) – I’m going to try and write some more “what I am working on” posts rather than simply waiting until the final product. At the end of July I began a new role as a research assistant at the university where I am registered for my PhD (UWS). I will be ‘in post’ until Summer 2012. Already, this has been my most ‘virtual’ of research contracts, …
