Simon Hill’s Summary

Interested in all things web, focusing on user and organisational behaviourial issues towards the web.

Co-founded furnish.co.uk, a soon-to-launch site that pulls together the mid- to high-end home furnishing marketplace, unique designers, accompanying editorial and design inspiration, with products all available directly from the site. Why? Because the web is dominated by a few big low- to mid-end furniture brands and by affiliates who just promote/prioritise these usual suspects. Painful for consumers who want a balanced market-wide choice of quality products without having to trawl magazines, shops, websites, brochures, etc and painful for quality suppliers who can't get a foothold.

Founder of "intranetters", an active online community of intranet/comms/media managers in UK and European organisations.

Simon Hill’s Specialties:

The science and sociology of the web.
