Ideas-sharing, Social media, web 2.0 and other buzzwords
The best thing about
SXSW is the people - as there's some really very smart people to learn from. Here's 7 things learnt from
@scottbelsky (founder of the Behance community) and
@Jeffrey (UX director at Digg) about crowd-sourcing:
1) Jeff Howe coined the word "Crowd-sourcing" in 2006
2) Businesses have crowd-sourced 3 different things: 1) wisdom (e.g. Wikipedia) 2) Labour (e.g. Mechanical Turk) 3) Wisdom and labour (e.g. Digg…

I'm just back from
this event, getting together the 'great and good' of the Bristol digital media community to discuss what the council should do with its new website.
The backstory is that the council has seen that its current site doesn't fit what is needed either internally or externally, and so they're currently in procurement for a new CMS. After that, they're up for suggestions from the digital…

Here at Delib, we're the kind of people that like to learn from each other and from what the other companies in our group do. We had a really interesting talk a few weeks ago on social media vs 'search engine optimisation' (SEO), from Tim in our sister viral marketing agency Rubber Republic

Interesting
report out from Tweetminster the other day about the amount of politicians and political parties using Twitter at the moment, which hopefully adds a bit of context to the whole 'This will be an internet' election meme around at the moment.
More interesting in many ways though is the response to it from the political chattering types, and
Tweetminster's response to that. Lots of useful stuff…

Anyone else catch this (the episode and the drift)? I watched the
latest episode of Spooks over the weekend (and enjoyed it, so what?) and, part-way through, realised that it was actually a dramatisation of what's going on in the heads of those risk-averse types who see in online participation cause for terror and dread and disruption, rather than opportunity and progress and value.
I don't want to give the…

I'm in the London office today, and just took a photo of this postcard on the wall, thinking it would fit with a blog post at some point. Then it suddenly struck me, today's main internet news in this part of the world fits it perfectly.

I've been researching sentiment analysis, and I think I've found pieces to suit a range of tastes and interests.
Tasters
First the notes from a 2008 talk given by Lillan Lee from Cornell University. Lee's topic is "...the flood of interest in: sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and the computational treatment of subjective language."
This is a good 'who, what, why, how', featuring:
- - background

OK, so the whole of the digital government Twitterati has come out of the woodwork to 'have their say' on
what a bad job Capita have done of the new Birmingham Council website, how it's outrageous that it cost £2.8m, how they all would've done it better using WordPress/Drupal/paper and sellotape/whatever is their consultancy specialised weapon of choice blah blah blah. Mostly, I'm not interested in their griping and…

In the context of Senator
Obama's radical and successful use of the internet to win the Presidency, commentators wildly speculated about how President Obama would then use the internet to govern. Having amassed 1 million+ followers, would he run the first ever Twit-ocracy and use Twitter to solve his country's problems? Would he run an enlarged collaborative People's Cabinet via Facebook?
Months into President Obama's period of governance, we…
