Why Europe needs a digital regulator
This article is about how the European Commissioner of Digital Science and Society, called for ‘a central EU-wide body with the power to monitor platforms’ use of data’.
- Shouldn’t we have some recourse if Facebook decides to manipulate an election, or Google disappears a favourite firm from its all-important rankings?
- In the United States, competition regulators have largely shrugged. They claim to be monitoring big firms’ behaviour, but they lack the technical expertise to do so.
- journalist Peter Maass noted, “The agency can take companies to court, but its overworked lawyers don’t really have the time to go the distance against the bottomless legal staff in Silicon Valley.”
- The new economy demands a new regulatory body, with the ability to continually monitor the law-like power now assumed by major digital platforms to themselves.
- Presently, the focus is on how a behemoth like Google might manipulate search results to strangle would-be competitors before they can reach critical mass.
- Europe can’t expect its digital talent to take on the Googles, Facebooks, Amazons and Apples without some assurance that law will prevent the behemoths from handing them an offer they can’t refuse: be acquired, pay hefty fees for ads or placement, or risk total obscurity.

Snap happy: how to use Instagram
This article is about how small businesses can use the social media site Instagram to promote themselves.
- Instagram is the social media tool of choice – and it’s easy to see why. The app has built up such a strong following it’s now more popular than Twitter, with monthly users topping 300 million.
- SMEs have quickly succumbed to Instagram’s charms, posting creative daily shots of their own brand and garnering thousands of fans while doing so. Premium womenswear boutique Black White Denim joined Instagram six months ago and has quickly usurped other social networks to become owner Jo Davies’ favourite platform.
- For many businesses owners, Instagram has not only catapulted brand awareness but also acted as a powerful sales driver. “Instagram makes a big difference to our business,” says Alienor Falconer, director of The Bright Company, a sleepwear and bedding brand for babies and young children.

Is online video the saviour of fragmented digital marketing?
- Fragmentation and complexity has, in my opinion, always been the single biggest barrier to digital marketing’s advancement. Brand managers for whom communications is often just a small slice of their daily workload are understandably put off when a digital expert rolls up explaining the latest complexities and technical capabilities.
- Video promises to be the great unifier – a simple, well understood format that can spread itself across most major digital media channels, delivering believable return on investments in the process.
- One thing that is clear is that online video has matured hugely over the past 18 months and along with it marketers’ attitudes.
- Unfortunately the waters of online video aren’t quite as transparent as one might hope. The content might potentially be the same but there’s a world of forced pre-rolls, skippable true views, in-banner video and auto-play (or even auto-preview) posts to discover.

Who is winning the election battle on social media?
This article is about consumers taking part with the election through social media.
- Though successive elections since the mid noughties have been described as the first to be contested on social media, the coming poll on 7 May has seen the political parties and hopeful candidates engage with Facebook, Twitter,Instagram and other platforms like never before.
- The party’s official Twitter account @uklabour is also way ahead in terms of Twitter mentions (with 388,109 tweets and retweets), again with @ukip second (212,418) and @conservatives third (158,158). Notably, the three politicians whose individual Twitter accounts make the top 10 mentions list are @nigel_farage, @ed_miliband and the Plaid Cymru leader @leannewood.
- Precise details of each party’s organised campaign - and the amount they are spending on them - are difficult to come by, but in a measure of the importance of social media to the campaigns, it was reported earlier this year that the Conservatives have dipped into their considerable election war chest to spend more than £100,000 a month on Facebook for advertising and to secure paid-for “likes”. The BBC suggested Labour was directing its resources elsewhere, with an estimated spend of less than £10,000 a month on its own Facebook presence.
This is good for engaging people with politics, especially the younger generation as they are the main consumers of social media.

Fortune magazine takes on six former GigaOm journalists
This article is about Fortune hiring six journalists from a tech site which recently closed down.
- “Fortune has always covered how technology is changing the workplace – 85 years of publishing prove it – but things are changing faster and more dramatically than ever before.
- Time CEO Joe Ripp had reportedly been in negotiations to buy GigaOm before deciding to hire the journalists, many of whom were senior writers for the site.
- The writers joining Fortune will focus on the magazine’s digital platforms but will also contribute to the print magazine and appear at Fortune events.
- Fortune has been seeking to increase the amount of content it produces to attract more visitors since it lost referrals from CNN when Time Warner split its broadcast and publishing divisions into separate companies.
