I don’t believe in those e-things (or do I?)
Borderline heresy from our current trainee Davide from Italy. Maybe after hanging out with a bunch of hard-core internet obsessives such as us for a while, he’ll come round…
What lies ahead.
I won’t come back on 2009. I am not a nostalgic kind of guy. I’ll just support Steve’s claim on how this particuliar year marked many breakthroughs for us, professionally and online speaking, and I kind of feel things will be different and, possibly, a bit less exciting for us. You can’t have European Elections [...]
New technologies: Keeping up without being killed in the attempt
Today is a big day in the life of the ep-webeditors blog. Nay, a rite of passage, a coming of age, an arrival in the sunlit uplands of Parliament bloggerdom.

Who’d have thought it possible? The internet’s most popular video was this week a recording of a three minute speech by a Conservative MEP. Yes, that’s a speech by an MEP… With 1.4 million views at the time of writing
Of Hairspray and Handgrips
