Back from New York and competing with a cobra

Before I get any more queries of the “Why no new posts?” variety, I have been in New York for a week, primarily for a panel on blogging, tweeting and friending, and for a webinar. It was the week that the UK Bribery Act guidance notes came out, and the week a cobra escaped from the Bronx Zoo and started tweeting, picking up over 188,000 followers in no time at all: “Indiana Jones, why did it have to be Indiana Jones?” it cried at one point. No doubt the social media consultants, for whom follower counts and re-tweets define significance, will be busy calculating its influence.

My blog, it seems, has been looking after itself – one post written just before I left, Lawyers replaced by computers for ediscovery search – a retrospective had clocked up 1,463 views in a few days, a target I will find it hard to beat, especially when in competition with a cobra. More posts (and everything else), follow shortly, but here are some photographs to show I am still around.
