Crowdsourcing…An Experiment.

Crowdsourcing…An Experiment.

The power of the people.  That is the battle cry of the internet these days.  The gathering of people online and the subsequent distribution of their home-produced content are supposed to be at the heart of the revolution we used to call Web 2.0.  We’ve all read a lot about the impact of social media on our world today [...]

Building Social Media Champions

Building Social Media Champions

Recently I was asked: “How do you think people in the middle of a corporation/organisation can effectively drive the use of social media to build more meaningful relationships with communities of shared interest” It’s an interesting question because it assumes (rightly so I think) that you can’t build social media use from the top down.  [...]

Reaching The Other Side

Reaching The Other Side

So as it turns out getting my own site hosted with a custom domain was the easy part.  Once I secured the domain and set up WordPress (WP) I had a lot of work ahead of me.  In order to have a functioning, professional looking, site I needed to find a base theme & customise it to [...]

Bridging the Gap

Bridging the Gap

So I’m making progress on developing my blog.  If you recall I was trying to figure out whether I am trying to simply get my point of view out there or whether I am looking to build the most professional and entertaining site possible.  I decided to take the plunge and see if I could create something more professional.  However, [...]

The Great Blog Gap

The Great Blog Gap

Now that I’m 6 months into my blogging career (and I use the term losely) I’ve come to a crossroads.  I want more from my blog site than my blog site provider, Wordpress, offers beginners via wordpress.com and I’m not quite technical enough to be able to jump right into the more technical skills that wordpress [...]

Privacy Isn’t Dead…But It’s On Life Support

Privacy Isn’t Dead…But It’s On Life Support

The death of privacy is only slightly exaggerated.  In truth death is imminent, the question is do we, or should we, care?
The advent of social media coupled with the average teenagers lust for attention means that many things that used to be private to us old folks just aren’t private to the average Gen. Y’er.  [...]

Enterprise & Social Media…its coming!

Enterprise & Social Media…its coming!

Social media for enterprise…kinda doesn’t sound right does it?  The separation of work life from social life is a mainstay of the Australian lifestyle.  We all want work/life balance so do we even want enterprise in the game & how do you do it without making a mess? The answer is ‘yes’ we want enterprise in [...]

Ping me!

Ping me!

Well it didn’t take that long or that much effort to find what I was looking for.  Ping.fm is the Write Once Post Everywhere application I’ve been searching for.  For those of you with multiple social media accounts this is your carpel tunnel salvation.  Sign up for a Ping account and you can post a status [...]

Social Media for Enterprise

Social Media for Enterprise

I’m interested in ways to use social networks (public and private) and other social media for enterprise.  I think there is a definite use for internal communications and collaboration and idea sharing. Critical mass and a bit of a paradigm shift are all that is necessary to jump-start the activity.
My challenge to you all is [...]

WR.O.P.E them in

WR.O.P.E them in

 

It occurs to me, while posting to my Facebook account, my Twitter account, my Yammer account, this blog, and my private social network that a lot of time can be wasted just telling people what you’re doing. What I need is an application that allows me to write once and post everywhere I want to [...]
