I am glad I managed to embed the term “digital biographer” in the mind of the interviewer, and was delighted it made its way into the headline. (Not least because I now own digitalbiographer.com)
It does sound a little more literary and glamorous than ‘blog butler’ or ‘cyberspace concierge’ I think!

The BCC journalist Alan Johnston, kidnapped in March in Gaza, has been freed by his captors today.
Full story from BBC here.Those thousands of people round the world who campaigned for Alan’s release always hoped that reason would triumph over violence and coercion. Today, those people have a little victory. Welcome back Alan - it’s good to see you.
I think there will be a few people waiting to say hello when you get back to Scotland!
