Images, not words will open up the city of Bologna. Google Goggles is basically a search engine that uses images instead of words and one that Google is pushing with gusto, albeit in a sort of experimental way. A recent article and video online via the BBC, demonstrates how we will soon be looking up [...]

Good PR for Cities
Saturday, December 10th, 2011
If social media is good for ‘Protesting’, why not for a city? Considering the Arab Spring made good use of social media, now it appears that the infectious use of Twitter and Facebook et al is heading north into the colder climes of Russia. International – and some national figures – are commenting that this [...]

Sunday, January 10th, 2010
We’ve finally got around to setting up our free travel guide of Bologna. It’s taken a couple of months and several reworkings of the design until we are now 90% satisfied that its ready to go. There’s one major difference here than with any other guide on the market. At the bottom of each page [...]

Free Travel Guide of Bologna
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
The digital era of travel guides is a roller coaster. It’s clear that the next generation of guides will certainly have a digital format of some sort but it’s also quite evident that there appears to be a huge gulf between what publishers would like to do and what people on the street are actually [...]

Free DVDs for all guests

Dinosaurs in Tourism Offices
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
Dinosaurs – not the real ones of course but their human ancestors readily thrive in our societies, particularly in places you would never expect. Take the little visit with a respected economic advisor from ASCOM in Bologna yesterday (mention no names as I might have to go back some day!). He quite happily declared that [...]
