Had a lovely chat with Alex from BBC Tees on the whole problem of how do you spot an email scam. Nice lively interview; hope it helped people.

The News in Portsmouth just interviewed me for an article on how to improve email usage.

Spent most of today in a studio in London doing a round of local radio interviews for broadcast tomorrow on the subject of fear of the Internet amongst the over 50s.

It’s been a busy media week for me…! Three magazines have interviewed me, as well as a couple of student journalists. I’m doing several radio interviews and I’ve also been asked to record a slot for a BBC TV show later this month.

Another comment from me appears in today’s Daily Telegraph.

My interview with the Business Editor of the Reading Chronicle led to a front page story in the main newspaper and then the whole of the front page of the Business Review sections. Wow!

A production company working for Channel 5 just phoned and asked me to appear on a new technology programme as their “Internet expert”.

BBC Radio has just interviewed me about the whole concept of “virtual assistants”. Nice little piece about getting your life organised by someone else!

Interesting how things develop. The fact that I appear regularly in the media appears to have been spotted by at least one (very well known, international) PR company. They called today and asked me to be an independent spokesperson on a project they are doing. What they want to do

Earlier this morning the doorbell rings and standing there was a reporter from ITV News. After a brief chat we agreed on a recording that will take place later in the week.

BBC Tees had me live on air for half an hour today talking about “web revenge” – how people try to use Internet systems to get their own back on people who have crossed them…! I had a fun discussion with Alex Hall during her mid-morning programme.

Today I was on the BBC Ulster consumer affairs programme, On Your Behalf, where the presenter Linda McAuley quizzed me about email stress. I was doing the interview “down the line” from the Portsmouth satellite studio of Radio Solent. It was decidedly non stressy for me because it was a

This week seems to be Daily Telegraph week…! Today I’m being quoted about inbox overload, which is also this week’s subject following some Scottish research. You can read the article called “The curse of inbox overload“.

Today I was called by the Midday News team at BBC Radio Five Live to talk about email overload. This followed the publication of research from Scotland which showed that many people were getting stressed out because of too many emails. I was interviewed by Aasmah Mir for about four
