Hubris, Open Internet and Clean feeds

Parts of this post were orig­i­nally a com­ment on Sen­a­tor Kate Lundy’s blog post on the Clean Feed pol­icy. Today, Sen­a­tor Kate Lundy, a politi­cian I admire greatly and my local Sen­a­tor, posted her views on the government’s Clean Feed pol­icy. While hint­ing at her oppo­si­tion to the pol­icy, she very much toes the party […]

Do these people have no idea? — the folly of the Internet Filter

This after­noon, Sen­a­tor Stephen Con­roy, the Min­is­ter for Broad­band, Com­mu­ni­ca­tions and the Dig­i­tal Econ­omy made the announce­ment so many of us had been dread­ing  —  that the Fed­eral gov­ern­ment would be going ahead with its plans to fil­ter Aus­tralian Inter­net access and unnec­es­sar­ily pro­tect us from nas­ties we nei­ther want nor need to be pro­tected from. It […]

The release ear­lier this week of the draft report of the Gov­ern­ment 2.0 Task­force has the poten­tial to be a water­shed moment in the man­age­ment and deliv­ery of gov­ern­ment and its ser­vices to the peo­ple of Aus­tralia. I find it more than a lit­tle inter­est­ing that after not much more than pass­ing inter­est in the […]

Deep thoughts

I write a lot of words about the three tag words for acid­labs  —  Con­ver­sa­tion. Col­lab­o­ra­tion. Community.  —  and what they mean in this world where Web 2.0, Enter­prise 2.0, Knowl­edge Worker 2.0, Gov­ern­ment 2.0 and all the other over-​​​​hyped Pick­Hot­Topi­cOfThe­Day 2.0 sub­jects are dis­cussed. It’s not often that I man­age to get any of my thoughts spot on, […]

Social media strategy should be a long bet

This post is being pub­lished in Mar­ket­ing Mag­a­zine’s 2009 Media Guide. I’m not sure when or if MM are pub­lish­ing it online. Over the years, I’ve prob­a­bly ded­i­cated some­where in the low-​​​​mid six fig­ures in words to the sub­jects that inter­est me: user expe­ri­ence social media web strat­egy knowl­edge work and the peo­ple that do it Most […]

Use the connections — recruitment and social networks

Today I spoke at Social Media: A Recruit­ment Rev­o­lu­tion, where I debated (kind of) Seek’s Jake Andrew on the sub­ject Do you need a job board when you have social net­work­ing?
