A most amazing programme has just come to an end, one in which I feel privileged to have been a part of. The Women’s Enterprise Kent scheme, run by Kent County Council, is part of the government’s drive to help women in business become more digitally savvy. You can view countrywide insights under the #ShesDigital hashtag.

How many brand names have become the verb or noun for what they represent? Hoover? Biro? Add Google to that list now, once you’ve finished googling other brand names and googled yourself into a frenzy.
That’s why you should be using Google Plus.
I love Twitter. If you’ve been connected with me for a while, that won’t be news to you. I can honestly say that most of the projects and work I’m doing now have come about directly through connections I’ve made on Twitter.
I found a new tool to play with, one that makes curating content even easier than sharing direct from emails, or re-tweeting.

I’m often asked how I’m able to do all the things that I do, to which I usually reply: “?”
Having given it more thought, I’ve come up with a list of the apps and hacks that work for me (after much research and frustration).
Can I get a whoop whoop?! Just me then? Ok.
A hearty ‘congratulations’ is a great opening to an email, and reading on to find out the Rochester Literature Festival has been short listed in two categories in the Kent Digital Awards 2015 gave me a bigger boost (fleetingly) than chocolate.
I entered the LitFest into the Website: School, Education or Charity section of these inaugural awards but such was the overwhelming response, the KDA instigated a couple more categories and short listed us in the Lifestyle and Culture Award too! *does a happy dance*
Big congratulations also to some of the lovely people I’m connected with across social media or work in some way: Lucy Hall, Ohhh Kaye, Maxim PR, Rochester Bridge Trust and Fore! Women are all shortlisted in various categories.
You can read all about the awards and see the full list of finalists on the Kent Digital Awards website.

It’s the difference between fellow Twitterers knowing you’re human or assuming you’re a spambot.
I guess it’s no secret that Twitter is my preferred platform for social media. The intelligent middle sibling to Facebook’s older, weight-on-its-shoulders weariness and Snapchat’s excitable, just-entering-puberty teenager, Twitter’s combination of wit, quick-fire natter and the opportunity to quickly connect with people I share interests with, as well as take part in world wide conversations in real time, is a brilliant combo I’m unable to resist. Specially #games.
