The team continues to grow at Wolfstar

Well after another busy week at Wolfstar we decided it was time to add another staff member to our ever increasing team.

I am delighted to welcome Jed Hallam, who joins us on an initial two-month temporary basis. Jed and I have spoken with each other on various social media platforms many times before but the clincher for employing him was when he created a new Facebook group called ‘Ten reasons for Wolfstar and Jed Hallam’.

It was the final point for me that really caught my attention. In his own words his final reason was this: “I very nearly hired a Barbershop Quartet to sing these reasons to the Wolfstar Team at head office… Seriously.”

To be honest I had several visions of these guys walking into the office and singing (to the tune of Mr Sandman): “Mr Bruce give me a job!”

I thought it was a brave and bold move and it did make me laugh. Welcome to the action Jed!

Jed joins our other recruit Natalie Smith, who has been working for us on a full time basis during the entire summer. Natalie is still studying public relations at university, so she is only working for us on a part-time basis now but she has been a bit of a revelation in our office. In fact, I think Stuart Bruce said it best when he described her as: “the best student we have ever had”.

I can also reveal that there will be another two staff appointments very soon.

Top 20 web 2.0 sites revealed

Hitwise US has released an interesting table listing the top 20 web 2.0 websites today. 

I’m quite surprised to see Myspace holds the number one title, with Facebook behind eBay in third position.  For me, (and I’m pretty sure I also speak for the majority of my generation) Myspace is a thing of the past and simply acted as a stepping stone from MSN Messenger to Facebook.  Does this mean the US are falling behind, or simply that we gave up too early on Myspace?

Intrigued by the results I decided to log on to Myspace for the first time in over a year and see what had changed.  Well I’ve got to say, it certainly has moved on! I can see why it is still popular. Myspace music and TV give the site an edge over other some of the other social networking sites.  Maybe it’s time Facebook stepped up it’s game, bringing the top spot.
