I spoke this morning in one of the IDM Academy slots at Internet World (Thanks to Emma Castellani & Joanna King for inviting me and supporting me very smoothly) I talked about blogs and podcasts and how you can use them for marketing purposes. Got 17 people along in the mini-theatre which apparently was a…
I went to the In the City Interactive conference last week but sadly had to leave before this interesting-sounding debate at the end. I got audio of the keynote speakers in the morning, but not sure what to do with it, I’ve set up a wiki page to link to them and collect any views…
Last week, I published my first interview with a UK public servant, which is to be part of the offering of Public Service Conversations. I spoke to Liz Railton, who is Deputy Chief Executive of Essex County Council I’m very pleased with how it turned out as a first go, but I’m making the audio…
Max Niederhofer (in charge of operations for 20six, the blogging company) has posted an initial manifesto and created an associated wiki where people are already starting to stand up and say “Hi! What a good idea…mmmmm…. what could we do?” As Max says on the “soon-to-be homepage” of the EIP site, “The EIP wants to…
Just saw this ascii-movie pointed to by Piers in Euan‘s comments. It made my heart sing. The first piece of ascii art I ever saw was in the early 70s – a picture of Racquel Welch that my father and his colleagues had printed – dunno who did the ‘digitising’. I seem to remember it…
I guess my years at the Audit Commission created an intolerance in me for stuff that looks like it restricts people’s creativity in the search for premium efficiency or effectiveness. My initial prickliness when reading Euan’s piece More is Less has subsided with subsequent readings. For me, my podcast is more about art than efficient…
Technorati tags (when they work) have proved to be a great way to bring people here. I installed a plugin to automatically turn keywords into tags, but since then I haven’t seen my posts showing up on technorati. I just took out the bit that was defining the class attribute in the link so they…
It’s funny because it’s true. I’m looking forward to seeing enraged Liverpudlians burning Radio Userland boxes and ageing copies of Wired Magazine outside the Cavern and beating their kids if they catch them reading Scripting News. I’m also looking forward to the day that Mr Winer makes a stand for world peace by staying all…
Hugh MacLeod organised a fantastic geek dinner tonight (err.. last night) and yours truly spent one hour of it wandering around and interrupting the fun (54:02min – 18.5MB) It really was as much fun as it sounds. Everyone was just amazed at the numbers of people and just how well organised it all was. I…
ICA conference? Check. Lambeth Council interview? Check. Geek Dinner – just a few minutes away. I’m touching down in *$$s in The Strand to transfer the audio I got today. Tomorrow is going to be a big upload and publish day. I’m thinking of using a wiki page to distribute audio from the conference –…
