Articles relating to social media, social collaboration and how we can communicate better.

Social tools have become the norm in many software solutions with dedicated (Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Yammer, Facebook for Work) and add-on (Chatter, SharePoint and many others) become part of the day to day working life.

The Parklife Mix Tape and Reviews

I’m a little excited about Parklife this year. The line up seems to be a little more diverse than last year and also a lot deeper in talent. Last year had a couple of big acts but this year is going to have me rocking all day.

But as with a lot of music I have no idea who plays what song until I hear it. So to help any one else out who has the same problem, here is my Parklife mix tape of all the artists that are playing at Parklife with a few extras thrown in for the Perth locals that are playing at my event.
