Negative Attention
Another brilliantly lucid Shirky offering: Group as User: Flaming and the Design of Social Software If you like this article I’d highly recommend Derek Powazek’s Design For Community which details, equally lucidly, much of the thinking and practical development around online communities. It’s a shame that someone has taken down the excerpts of chapters on …
The Winner Takes It All
How odd, I’ve never won anything (well, apart from some pointless literature thing when I finished 6th form… literature… me ;o) and then, for 5 minutes at the keyboard I end up with a free book and global fame, ahem, guess which line I penned, betyacan’t!

Difficult
This is a very difficult decision to make and one I’ve been thinking about the last week. Here’s the story. As many of you know I’m employed by a University, which shall remain nameless (and if anyone does know which Uni it is I’d appreciate it if you didn’t mention that at the moment, will …
Disclaimer
Unfortunately this is necessary, after I’ve received some professional (and possibly legal) advice there may be some more on this. “Please note that all of the material in this weblog or any services or support that I may provide through this weblog or incsub.org are entirely separate from my employer. This is all done through …
Wikipedia makes Guardian top stories
Cool, check out this Guardian article about Wikipedia… with any luck people might look at me a bit less blankly in the near future :o)
