Playing around with Posterous – and finding that it might just work for me

If you haven’t checked out Posterous yet, you should. Inspired by Steve Rubel’s move to this service, I’ve been playing around with it and loving the functionality. In essence its a very simple blogging platform that allows you to post via email, beautifully presents your media content and allows you to syndicate it easily to [ READ MORE ]

Back to blogging

Well kinda, sorta, not quite yet….. Its been almost four months since I left Whitehall – at the same time its both flown by and feels like a lifetime ago. Now I’m pretty settled I’m starting to think about gov things again and taking keener notice of what’s going on (and there’s been quite a [ READ MORE ]

Us Now – go see

I was lucky enough to snag a ticket to go and see Us Now at the RSA on Wednesday night. Us Now, by Ivo Gormley, is a film about the power of online collaboration and communities – and what that might mean for future government. Its very powerful, highlighting some excellent case studies and interviewing [ READ MORE ]

Free legal web project barcamp

I seem to be permanently in a state of writing about things a week or so after they have happened at the moment and trying to play catchup. This is a case in point. A week last Saturday (18th October) I went along to the Free Legal Web barcamp. The event was set up (and [ READ MORE ]

Another phrase that sends shivers down my spine in the office

It was remiss of me not to point to Tom Steinberg’s excellent piece on ‘one pagers’. Barely a day goes by when i am not asked to produce one of these (often by someone who has already requested, and received, a paper on the same subject previously…). Whilst I enjoy the discipline of containing an [ READ MORE ]

On my (relative) silence, some good events, and upcoming speaking gigs

For regular readers I’m sorry that its been a bit quiet around here lately – especially as I embarked on a series of six posts about models of social media adoption but have only managed to write four of them so far (I promise I will do my best to get the final two completed [ READ MORE ]

Five words I hate at work

Facilitate Stakeholders (grrrrr) Engagement Optimise Transitioned (disclaimer: I use these words often in the workplace, because sometimes jargon seems to suggest credibility…) While we’re at it, haven’t got a lot of time for ‘vision’ at the moment (cue inevitable Mark O’Neill punchline…)[ READ MORE ]

view from my window

view from my window Originally uploaded by Jeremy Gould. We’ve been moving offices over the weekend and today I was in with some colleagues checking our kit all worked before the others come in tomorrow. We’ve moved from Victoria Street to the old Home Office building in Petty France (two minutes away) but a quantum [ READ MORE ]

Two tools I really like

Don’t normally do tech tips or gear I generally like here, goodness knows there are enough places on the web to find that kind of stuff. But I’ve recently come across two online resources that I think are absolutely fantastic so I’ll share them here for anyone who is interested. First up is up is [ READ MORE ]

Interesting2008: fascinating and inspiring

When Russell Davies first floated the idea last year of holding an event full of interesting speakers, I was hooked. Unfortunately I couldn’t go due to holidays so when Interesting 2008 was announced, I was determined to go (I don’t know Russell, but am in awe of his energy and his imagination. “How to be [ READ MORE ]
