For social media consultants, coaches, online community managers and others with a keen interest in keeping up with the ever-changing landscape and "ecology" of social media, the original Conversation Prism, launched in 2008 by Brian Solis and JESS3, was an invaluable aid, a wonderful eye-opener and a thing of contemplative beauty in its own right, although possibly for some others a dramatic depiction of why they found the whole social media thing overwhelming!

For me and no doubt others it is a thrill to see this new version - 5.0 to be precise - the first update since 2013. You can download the image in portrait or landscape mode and there are poster version for sale.

The Conversation Prism is a visual map of the social media landscape. It’s an ongoing study in digital ethnography that tracks dominant and promising social networks and organizes them by how they’re used in everyday life.




There is a place for stock photos (I think!) and for our own images, but I'm always on the lookout for sources of other images I can use which are free, able to be used multiple times, and for commercial as well as non-commercial purposes. Cue Mockup World.

Whether you are looking for an iPhone, iPad, iMac, MacBook, AppleWatch, packaging, t-shirts, a street sign or huge billboard mockup – you’ll find it here.

Mockup World is an online service that offers designers and web developers free access to hundreds of ready to use mockups! The site is managed as a hobby project by André (Twitter @avatter), Social Median and Blogger from Hamburg, Germany.



Lumen5 is a video creation platform designed for brands and businesses to produce social content for driving audience engagements online. The goal of the platform is to allow anyone without training or experience to easily create engaging video content within minutes.

The specific use of Lumen5 I've made use of is the platform's capacity to create a video out of a blog post. I've done one of these so far - Reclaiming My Passion for Blogging . I'm kind of delighted with the result and others have expressed their approval! Check it out.

Could my laser coaching service help your business, or that of someone you know?

Are you finding it a challenge to get really clear on a business or career opportunity?

That's not unusual.

Laser coaching is designed to help you get the resolution you need.

Laser coaching works on the principle that there is a truth in every situation, a truth that may not always be obvious. Laser coaching brings that truth to the surface and supports the process of facing it square on, and then deciding on appropriate action.

After a laser coaching session with me, business coach ​​​​​​​Marla Tabaka said this

In a single, thirty-minute conversation, Des redirected some concerns I had about my business model, introduced me to several valuable resources, and brought clarity to an issue that I’ve been struggling with for months. Yes, all of this in thirty-minutes!

If you are ready to get the clarity you need to be able to take decisive action, check out my laser coaching service at this link
