NixonMcInnes in the news
We have been busy at NM Towers with the help of our friends at Hotwire contributing to articles and generally getting ourselves and our opinions out and about on the social media scene.
Here is a round up of the recent press we have been contributing to since the New Year; I hope you find this interesting, please feel free to comment.

02-02-09 – BBC Radio 4 – iPM

As UK workers woke up to several inches of snow on early on a February Monday morning they naturally turned to the web to look for up-to-date weather reports and travel bulletins. With what seemed like the majority of the UK going online at the same time, traditional web sites began to falter and strain under the weight of so many people accessing their data.
Queue the social web and sites that enable dynamic conversation like Twitter. Are these the places that people will turn to in future to get the real time information they need?
