For the past week or more, I have been carrying around a newspaper cutting from the 29 September edition of The Guardian: a Media Guardian article by Professor Jeff Jarvis of the City University of New York (and the buzzmachine.com blog). I’ve finally got round to reading it properly and it’s fantastic stuff. In the …

@NCEmagazine over-Tweets
A few weeks ago, I noticed (Construction gets Twittering) that UK trade magazine New Civil Engineer had started using Twitter to send out news alerts. At first, it was blasting about a dozen every hour, on the hour, but it then slowed it down a bit – to just five an hour, every hour…. I …

Business needs more SaaS
Last night I attended a meeting combining the North London branch of the British Computer Society and London Wiki Wednesday, during which there was some discussion of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) (I also talked about Be2camp). By coincidence, I have just come across a news item on the BCS website, Business needs more SaaS, outlining findings from …

The Three Es
At the beginning of the year (see 2008: SaaS will soar, SaaS will surge), I wrote about Jeff Kaplan‘s predictions for the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) market. Amid recent financial turmoil on both sides of the Atlantic, he has again been urging people to consider SaaS in an article The Three Es That Will Drive On-Demand Services …

Relevance – not sheep!
Ever since I first got interested in what we now understand loosely as Web 2.0, I have been looking for ways to make it relevant to my day-to-day job. For example, I started blogging three years ago to create an online presence to expand on the content of my book (flyer); at BIW, I have …

TfL mashup idea
While looking for ideas for topics at Be2camp, I came across another cool suggestion on Show Us a Better Way, the UK Cabinet Office’s Web 2.0 competition site for ideas to unlock the potential of publicly-held information (see posts here and here). James O’Malley has suggested opening up Transport for London (TfL) data and making …

Construction gets Twittering
On Friday afternoon, I got my first Tweets from UK trade magazines Construction News and New Civil Engineer, as two of the Emap Construct titles took their first steps into the Web 2.0 world of Twitter. Initially, @CNPlus went into overdrive repeating itself several times over but it’s now sorted out an RSS problem with …

Dipity.com
My enthusiasm for Web 2.0 tools shows no signs of abating, and I have been experimenting with Dipity.com, a fantastic tool for producing timelines. It can seamlessly incorporate various sources of information; you can upload your own images, link to website images and maps, and suggest sources such as RSS or Flickr feeds. And like …

Think no more
Zerochampion blogger Phil Clark is today (Think RIP) coming to terms with publisher CMP’s decision to discontinue its sustainability conference/exhibition event, Think – the latest manifestation of which, Think 08, I attended earlier this year. As the event organiser, he lists various reasons behind the decision: Crowded market/branding Names – “we were too late to …
