- We’re all blogging now
Attempts to define what blogging is risk missing the point; blogging’s influence has spread far beyond blogs themselves
- Number 10′s site highlights what is social, and what is not
The trouble faced by the new Number 10 website is that Gordon Brown, and government itself, isn’t very webby. Without tackling that, Web 2.0 approaches will fail
- Number 10′s new site misses the 2.0 mark
The new Downing Street website attempts to mask its lack of interactivity with a web 2.0 mask. It really doesn’t work.
- Did AOL steal my work? I need your help…
Did AOL steal a photograph from Flickr? If you know your copyrights (or creative commons), I need your help – and others may do, too.
