This week we (ok – I) managed to lose a third of the podcast due to a power failure (ok – an idiot who forgot to plug in the laptop). Yet it still weighs in at an hour! That’s because Michele and I were joined by someone every bit as talkative as ourselves. Krystian Kozerawski, […]
This week’s show is all about media manipulation. Michele is reading Trust Me I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator, which explains how media works in our social, mobile age – and how you can use that understanding to manipulate it. We consider the downfall of Digg, once the darling of Web 2.0, whose investors […]
Nacho Amadoz was sitting down to dinner at his home in Barcelona, when the Skype call came through from Ireland. “This call is being recorded”, he heard them say, “you’re on the Technology.ie podcast.” Normally we prepare our guests days in advance, but not this time. Credit to Nacho for being gracious in the face […]

Michele’s in Arizona, at a meeting of domain registrars, discussing policy, including the Registrar Accreditation Agreement. It’s always a struggle to podcast over hotel WiFi but this time we decided it was hopeless. I kept the Skype connection on the studio end, and used Skype-Out to phone Michele’s hotel room. We recorded yesterday on World […]
Our guest this week is Gavin Hanley, an advertising strategist with Google in Ireland. Michele has loads of questions for him about Google Adwords, questions which, he points out, he regularly hears from his customers. Gavin shares his insights into how advertisers can get the best out of Google ads. Michele is worried about some […]
This week’s guest is Barry Shein, President of The World, the first company to offer Internet access to the general public, when it started in 1989. Today some people consider Internet access to be a human right, but back then it was very different. Barry still has the email he received from the US National […]
This week’s guest is Francesco Cetraro of Afilias. From their headquarters in Dublin, Afilias run top level domains such as .info and .mobi and also provide the GoMobi mobile website builder tools (currently available on a 30-day free trial from Blacknight!) For this podcast, Francesco joins us from his home in Sweden, with Michele in Carlow […]
