Found/interesting: 17 May to 2 June
Look what I found interesting.
- Crisis Communications for the Social Media Age – Also works as a guide to rebuttal 2.0
- Swine Flu 2.0 : A Case For How Managing Social Media is a Matter of National Security – …and here’s a real-life case study from Ross Ferguson et al’s trans-Atlantic cousins
- Twitter’s hype is different than Second Life’s – Refuting the notion that excitement about Twitter’s impact on comms is akin to yesteryear’s misguided hype for Second Life.
- What’s Your Government 2.0 Personality Type? – I can’t work out if I’m a risk-taker, edge-rider or something else not described here.
- Overcoming the challenges to open government – Missed it at the time, but Tim wrote a cracking article on the 50 hurdles to open government and prompted a very interesting discussion. That discussion is now taking place on a wiki, and is well worth checking out. Something Andrew Stott and team might want to take a look at?
- The voices of government – Thought-provoking breakdown of the current UK government bloggers (including yours truly) into 5 categories, the fifth of which is still something of a ghost town.
- Over Easy | WooThemes – Lovely WP theme for SMEs
- Perch – A Really Little CMS – Nifty new super-lightweight CMS for SMEs.
- BAN Internal Email – Wish that we could, but think the best we can hope is it will one day be superseded.
- 45 provocative propositions about using social technology – Provocative but right on the money.
- The Knowledge Management Culture Shift – From “Admitting I don’t know is weakness” to “Admitting I don’t know is the first step to learning”. No wonder it’s a struggle.
- Matt Tee on POIT: Power of information taskforce – Nick Booth interviews Matt Tee on the Power of Information Taskforce recommendations.
- PR 2.0: Twitter Tools for Community and Communications Professionals – Amazing and (it claims) definitive list of Twitter tools with concise summaries of what they do and why they might be useful.
- The 6 Dangerous Fallacies of Social Media – I’ll be pilfering some of the ideas here for my own strategy. The square/rectangle metaphor is especially clear.
- Obama plans more open government – in case you missed it.
- ScribbleLive | live blogging – another liveblog option, cf. coveritlive
