This is a true story - i swear.

The below comes from Gorkana PR. Check it out. Just when the rest of the magazine publishing world is looking to consolidate and cut back, Jamie Oliver has come up with a concept for a magazine about a subject which EVERYONE is interested in right, himself.

I HEAR THEY’VE EVEN GOT AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE JAMIE IN THE FIRST ISSUE!!!and the second, and the third, fouth, fifth - you get the idea.

Jamie Magazine

Jamie Magazine, the new bi-monthly magazine from Jamie Oliver launches today. Funded by Jamie himself, with an editorial team of four, the publication will have an initial print run of 140,000. Featuring over 100 recipes, as well as celebrity interviews, and a column by Jamie’s wife Jools, the magazine promises to offer a broad range of content. At the helm as Editor will be Andy Harris - former Editorial Director of renowned Australian food publication Gourmet Traveller. Contact details will be alerted in due course

Awesome!

I wonder if he needs a web editor?

yay!

Today propertyweek.com is celebrating another award nomination - this time Best Website in the IBP Awards 2008.

That follows our recent nomination in the BSME awars for best business website.

It shows we are heading in the right direction - although we know there is a long way to go.

In fact unlike most journeys this one has no end - that’s got to be the thing about the web.

You can keep driving forward but you will never get to the edge because the edge keeps moving.

Every week i hear about or come across some new software - or hardware - which is showing yet another potential direction the web could take.  I love it.

The constant excitement.

My favourite of recent times has to be Qik.com if you have a compatible mobile phone you can stream live video from your phone to the web - that’s right.

Not from the web to your phone like everyone is tryiong to do but the other way. You can be out on the street and see something exciting happening and you can broadcast live video from where you are standing to the www

it’s amazing - although so far all i’ve managed to record is some footage of my football injury (broken nose), and a few shots of my desk at work - oh and one of me after a few beers in my kitchen trying to impress mates in the living room who were watching the live broadcast…of my kitchen.

Surely i will shoot that elusive money-making video footage soon.

anyone got any other great new uses for the web - or just great new websites?
