bandwagons are bad for your health, as illustrated by the impending death of content marketing and the gathering backlash against Slack (Slacklash? BackSlacksh?) and (already!?) chatbots.

The main Topics this time are language technology, mobile innovation and EU communications, with a few extras to catch-up since the last edition.

In which I studiously avoid curating anything about 2016 or David Bowie.

Just in time for your Christmas break, a hand-picked selection of posts designed to give you something to think about as the year turns.

Over 40 new resources ... some great longreads to enjoy as the nights grow long, the productivity tips you’ll need to find the time to read them, and a free set of steak knives. The Christmas season, after all, is almost upon us.

In this week’s edition, a months’ reading - some 30 posts - on social media, digital transformation, content/system design and EuroPCom2015. But first some news from me

In this week’s edition, two new social media products in one week; a few good longreads for the weekend; and more stuff for your online toolbox.

Yes, I’m now curating news about news curation

Get with the community; The death and rebirth of comments: The death of the open web?

My first subscribers, surveyed last week, were equally split between the diverse formats and styles of my first four editions, so here’s a 5th.

I'm launching a enewsletter to ensure I absorb something from the social media firehose.

In this edition I highlight only one post, and mention a few others. Topics: truth, authenticity & trust, but also productivity and digital transformation.

In this week’s newsletter I return to the “3 Topics, 12+ links” template of week 1, but present things a little differently…

Last week’s edition included 13 links across 3 topics. This week I go the ‘Special Edition’ route and focus on one topic: Medium. 

The last couple of years has seen a revival of the Art of the eNewsletter. I have found myself paying much more attention to enewsletters in my Inbox... than to the marketing junk gushing from social media

Two Weekly Review posts on the subject of innovation.

'Innovation' threaded its way through a lot of the resources added to my TumblrHub last week: from innovation-friendly management through to innovative Content Management Systems for tomorrow's newsmedia business models and personal productivity tools.

An update to a post first published in 2013, as I created a first version of MyHub on Tumblr.
