Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

BABY FACEBOOK

I know facebook is a topic that has been blogged and blogged about - however! Did you know that the first baby to be named Facebook has been born? I didn't until I came across an article today!


Supposidly little Facebook has been named in honour of the role the social network played in the revolution in Egypt. Her father wanted to express his gratitude about the victories achieved which led to the eventual departure of Mubarak. The social network played a crucial role in the Egyptian revolution, so much so that the uprising has widely been labeled 'The Facebook Revolution.' Egyptians used Facebook to organise protests, share information and connect with the outside world with 32,000 facebook groups and 14,000 pages being created in two weeks during January. And they say the power of social networking is growing - i'd agree by these stats!


I wonder if there is a baby called Twitter yet!?

    Baby Bebo perhaps? Football used to be so important that there are examples of children named after the entire squad. Is this a sign that social networks are taking over the mantle?
