About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

Merlin Mann’s Worst Website Ever
One of probably many moments from SXSWi I wish I was at, saved by the magic of online video. Wish I’d seen this before writing a mildly sarcastic post about Thought Leaders. One cannot compete with The Mann. via sMoRTy71
Measuring Thought Leadership
One of the jargon buzz words at SXSWi this year that kept cropping up was “Thought Leader“. It amused me greatly as it really doesn’t mean anything more than someone who has ideas which some other people listen to and … Continue reading
The stones analogy seemed much better in my head
I really have to stop trying to do TV… Thanks to Chris for salvaging something out of my nonsense!
