I love getting emails. Or Facebook messages. Or ‘tweets’. Or any of the other various webby things that we’re all so very addicted to.
If you want to contact me with regards my work at the BBC, please email dave.lee@REMOVETHISbbc.co.uk
For everything else, please use: davelee.mail@REMOVETHISgmail.com
Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/davelee (don’t be offended if I don’t follow back, I’m getting a lot of followers lately)

If you’re a student asking for advice on blogging, journalism, whatever, I make every effort to respond to emails. But I’m much more likely to respond if you’re friendly and polite. Cheers!
Also, I’ve been receiving a few emails lately asking about work experience. Sadly, I’m not in a position to offer work experience to anyone — I’m not nearly important enough! I’d suggest looking at Gorkana jobs, or, if you have a particular place you’d like to work, try their own respective homepage. For the BBC, start here.

Dave, I just read your article over on bbc.co.uk about making money on social networks and thought I would share a little more insight to support your key points.
I am one of the founders of Drivers Republic which is combination of digital publisher and social community focusing on the niche of car enthusiasts. In the same way that MySpace users accept relevant advertising as a music/entertainment audience, so does the Drivers Republic visitor from their automotive standpoint.
It’s about creating a win-win for the audience and the advertiser – they both would like to meet each other provided such contact is relevant to their needs. Social networks provide the only viable means of intermediating this contact and providing that the user is in control of this process (via privacy) settings then the value of this relationship will flourish.
The problem faced by any general social networking environment is that the nature of the conversation is less specific and therefore feels more intrusive. If you go onto MySpace or Drivers Republic and talk about your music or motoring interests then you are publicly (and knowingly) declaring your preferences – to which it would be acceptable to respond. If however you are talking to friends on Facebook, Bebo or other such broad-topic environment then the response is far more invasive, and is more akin to eavesdropping.
The future is in niched social communities where the implied contract between user and host is more explicit and the value is more demonstrable.
We at Drivers Republic for example use our understanding of users preferences and ownership experiences to invite them to unique events with car manufacturers (a win-win proposition), based on their perceived value as a consumer. The more information they provide, the better we are able to connect them with an outcome they would see as benefit. So it is not just advertising that funds the social network economic model, more and more brands are seeking to connect the online interaction of users with the offline activities that actually translate into revenues.
The social networks that enable this process will be the winners and this is ultimately what determines a healthy and sustainable balance sheet.
Cheers,
Steve Davies
(MD of Drivers Republic)

Hi,
I’d like to inquire about purchasing a simple text link – something like “Stein Diamonds – Rolex Watches” or a small banner (120×60) on your homepage on XXX.com.
We’ve been selling diamond jewelry and luxury watches for over 25 years and I thought our products might be a good fit for your readers.
Our budget is around $40 per year. Is this something you’d be open to?
Regards,
Phil
Stein Diamonds
