The latest development to LGSearch is LGSearch+ – which is simply a different search page, but with the latest news from the IDeA, The Guardian‘s ‘Society’ section, the latest links from Info4Local and the Local Government Association‘s news. These are…

Robert Scoble asks ‘What is social media?’ Stowe Boyd answers: Social Media Is Not A Broadcast Medium: unlike traditional publishing — either online or off — social media are not organized around a one-to-many communications model. Social Media Is Many-To-Many:…

Am not surprised at all about the impact Henrik Larsson has had at Man Utd since joining. You can’t help but feel it was a shame that he spent so much of his footballing life in the backwater that is…

[youtube 6gmP4nk0EOE] This is a great video on YouTube by Michael Wesch of Kansas State University. I’ve seen it linked to in lots of places, but my main reason for repeating it here was to test the use of the…

I have had a few comments in the 2,000 odd Bloggers post requesting that links to their blogs are removed. These seems to be for two main reasons: The bloggers never asked to be involved in the project (as, incidentally,…

Having added the various sets of new links to LGSearch, aside from keeping the list of links up-to-date, I think LGSearch is pretty much fully developed with what’s available from Google Coop right now. I still wonder, though, whether there…

The BBC points out a new site the Liberal Democrats have set up to discuss their manifesto for the next election. MP Steve Webb, running the web-based project, said it would help frame “detailed policy”, but that the party would…

Nice article on the BBC website about Jason Lee, the ex-pineapple headed ex-Forest striker. At 24 years of age, Jason Lee was living the dream of every professional footballer. The year was 1995, Lee was plying his trade with Nottingham…

ClickInfluence is Nick Wilson’s new venture. It looks good, and I’m subscribed. He links to an interesting document on community design by one Patrick Duparcq of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

Yep, a stackload of more sites have been added to LGSearch, making it a very useful thing indeed. The sites added come under the labels: Police and Fire Health LG Related And as with the Councils and Central Government sites,…

The first major update has been made to LGSearch, the now-inaccurately described local government search engine. The sites for central government departments have now been added. You can find a list of the sites included on the LGSearch project page…

I’ve changed things around quite a bit on this blog, partly in an attempt to force myself to update it a little more often. I’ve upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, 2.1, which does various things in a much…

From Google Reader’s trends feature: From your 238 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 2,827 items, starred 0 items, and shared 56 items And I had the weekend off entirely… I try to remember to share the stuff…

Quite interesting chat between Stephen Fry and Tony Blair here.

When, oh when, will Steve McClaren, or whoever else is managing England, learn? Square pegs, round holes. Square pegs, round holes. Square pegs, ro… you get the picture. Picking Ben Foster and Jonathan Woodgate was good. Picking Phil Neville at…

The theme I am using on this site at the moment, Fjords01!, is beatiful. But for some reason the CSS makes italics (through the em tag) appear like this. Until I get round to changing the stylesheet, I am having…

Despite being an avid reader of RSS feeds – not just from blogs, but other sites like newspapers, and other new organisations – I still get a newspaper every day. I guess this runs somewhat contrary to the idea that…

Charlie Brooker, TV reviewing god, has a pop at the ‘I’m a Mac’ ad campaign with his usual savagery: The ads are adapted from a near-identical American campaign – the only difference is the use of Mitchell and Webb. They…
