Crisis?  What Crisis?

The Digital Circle Podcast returns to the studios of One Zero Zero in boomtown Belfast.  It’s getting tough out there.  

Here are some headlines just from this week:
  • C4 pulls plug on digital radio plan
  • Viacom and CBS cut profit forecast
  • US online advertising blow
  • Surprise! Web ads aren't immune from the credit crisis
  • Tanking economy may lead to spear-phishing and social engineering scams
And a confidential Power Point from Sequioa has  been distributed on the web with the heart warming title “R.I.P. Good times”

So with that in mind we've brought together this week’s panel.

Also we be finding out with musical combo Escape Act are being Crafty Devils and where you can download tracks.

Michelle Gallen is just back from the Irish Web Awards. Her business is Liquid E-Learning.  
Ruairi McNally is Media Director with Bluecube Interactive. And Rich Dale is a member of Escape Act and works with Crafty Devil.

Sluggin' It Out at W5

The Slugger O'Toole Awards event was held in Belfast's W5 centre on 7 October 2008.

This is the first glittering and glamorous Slugger Awards and almost all of the politicos, digicenti, blogerati of any note and general hangers-on are gathered for what would have been a Red Carpet Reception. But Red, like Blue, like Green, Orange and even Yellow have political connotations, so the carpet was ignored and we all just had a night on the tiles.

Sonic Academy

In November 2007Sonic Academy was announced as one of the winners of the Northern Ireland Department of Trade and Investment's Broadband Content Initiative. During this series of the DC Podcast  I’m planning to look at how some of the winners have progressed since the final six were unveiled. 

In this edition, the Sonic Academy's Kevin Traynor and Graham Ginty.  But first to the man who had the idea and drove the project, Paul Robinson Project Manager Department Enterprise Trade and Investment.
