Found/interesting: 31 Dec to 6 Jan
I found this stuff interesting while browsing around.
Maybe you will too.
- How boring: Celebrities sign up to Twitter to reveal the most mundane aspect of their lives - a balanced view from the Mail.
- Twittering on: How internet ‘micro-blogging’ went global – A more thoughtful piece on Twitter including the Israeli consulate’s use of it for PR firefighting. Interesting thoughts here about the correlation between Twitter users and bloggers, and the pros and cons of the low threshold 140 character medium.
- Small talk that has become a very big deal - Telegraph’s take.
- Obama voters expect him to keep the conversation going in government – A summary of the Pew Internet report and spot-on commentary from Nick Booth: “It will only be fruitful if Obama’s team and the government they inherit find new ways to pass authority and permission down the food chain. This is not potential, as we have with UK government. This is a reality which will be tested from this month onwards.”
- We are the government. Us Now. – Interesting discussion in the comments over on Dominic Campbell’s blog between Us Now director Ivo Gormley and MP Tom Watson.
- Top ten ways not to choose a social media consultant – Sound advice from Wolfstar’s Stuart Bruce.
- Handy white papers on web content management – CrownPeak have some good papers on choosing and using CMSs here. Useful stuff.
- IBM report: The Blogging Revolution – Can’t remember where I saw this, and whether it’s already done the rounds. But this report from the IBM Center for the Business of Government is a rich source of social media case studies from US government and has great tips for would-be public sector executive/spokesperson bloggers.

Hello, I'm Neil Williams. I'm a government web geek, a dad, a husband, a grower of veg, a keeper of hens and a lapsed comedy writer, roughly in that order.
