Just a thought… If one runs a blog or online forum about erectile dysfunction and the use of viagra to combat that – how do you decide what is and isn’t spam?
A hypothetical thought, of course!

Creative Connectivity
I’m talking at Creative Connectivity – a conference being organised by the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Support Centre, which is funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee – on the subject of the risks and opportunities presented by Web 2.0 and social media for e-learning providers. The RSC are doing some great work in encouraging teachers and learners to engage with the web to create new learning opportunities. This includes a network they have set up using Ning. It will be a really interesting day, and I’m dead chuffed to be involved.
It’s on the 22nd January (2008!) between 10am and 4pm.

Regeneration
Am currently reading Pat Barker’s Regeneration, all about Siegdried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen and other fictional soldiers recovering at Craiglockhart War Hospital during WW1. I must admit to, shamefully, not knowing an awful lot about the ‘great’ war before reading Oxford University Press’ World War One: A Very Short Introduction. It so interested me that I immediately spent a Christmas book token on David Stevenson’s 1914-1918, which looks a beast of a read.
Here are some of the links I have been looking at, hunting down background information:
