Suw: Andrew McAfee and Ross Mayfield have started a wiki to gather ‘enterprise 2.0’ case studies on a Socialtext wiki. Could be a very useful source of information – must add my own case studies there!

Suw: What makes a blog successful? Much of what is said here, such as ‘pick the right people’, ‘read other blogs’, and ‘practice with an internal blog before going external’ is what I tell my clients. Must read this in more detail though.

Suw: Ross Mayfield and Andrew McAfee’s enterprise 2.0 case studies wiki.

Suw: Seth says that if you’re great at being a community organiser you’ll never be out of work. But, of course, businesses have to realise that they need a community organiser in the first place.

Suw: Nice to see David Weinberger be able to respond in full to Andrew Keen’s assertion that the web is dreadful. For my money, I think Keen’s nothing but a troll, but I fear there are too many technophobes who agree with him.

Kevin: Jemima Kiss talks some sense about social networks and brand silliness.”f you go to a networking event, you don’t mingle with brands or monolithic institutions – you deal with individuals and personalities.”

Kevin: Roo has a good roundup of reality check blog posts on Web 2.0 and the obsession with ‘shiny’. It really is about what people do with the technology and not just the technology and features. Good quick roundup of posts.

Kevin: Thanks to Meg Pickard, my partner in community at the Graun, for this top link of top blogging tips. Good read for all bloggers and journalists wanting to make the leap from mass media to social media.

Kevin: Spring offers location-based services. I think there will be a lot of future demand for LBS news services. Development should begin now.

Kevin: An assessment of Assignment Zero. “nd one model that doesn’t work is attempting to use crowdsourcing simply as a cost-saving measure. Communities must be cultivated, respected and deftly managed if they are to come together to create economic val

Suw: I’m not a gamer, but stuff like this and Spore make me want to be. Player-created levels that you can share across the network? Oh yes please!

Suw: More about LittleBigPlanet.

Suw: Steph Booth’s talk about the multilingual web. We’ve discussed this no end, Steph and I, and this talk is an excellent overview of the problems of trying to provide multilingual services on a mainly monolingual web.

Suw: Pot. Kettle. Black. Can I make a wish that they both lose?

Suw: Litigation as a business negotiation tool?

Suw: Good round-up of Oiwan Lam’s protest against Hong Kong’s censorship laws, examining the part that Flickr’s actions may or may not have played in the authorities’ decision.

Suw: Cool! I want!

Suw: Rufus Pollock uses economics to figure out what the optimal term of copyright would be, and discovers that 14 years is about right. No chance of any policy maker taking any notice, though.

Suw: Sean Bonner does battle with email, using autoresponders to encourage people to use other ways to get hold of him.

Suw: Enjoy internet radio while it lasts, because it might be gone after Sunday. The music industry is committing suicide by a thousand cuts and taking as many others down with it as it can.

Suw: And the moral of the story is: online, anonymity isn’t all that anonymous.

Suw: “The only way to get Net Neutrality with teeth is by changing the business models of the businesses providing us with access. Peel apart the layers like a piece of rotting plywood.”

Suw: Transcript of danah boyd and Henry Jenkins’ interview from last year.

Kevin: Robb takes a look at the closing of Backfence. What can news organisations learn from this hyperlocal play that didn’t make it? Will newspapers really pursue hyperlocal strategies? If so, how?

Kevin: Peter Krasilovsky takes a look at the collapse of Backfence. Should newspapers focus on hyperlocal strategies that “are not centered around local news (which it turns out, is not always very compelling)?”

Kevin: Scott Karp adds his two cents on the collapse of Backfence. “Hyperlocal is about “community,” sure, but on the Web it’s more about utility.”

Kevin: Mike blogged this in June, but I love this quote from Kate Adie: Journalists shouldn’t have any time to blog – there are too many stories waiting to be told! No, Kate there are too many stories to tell, which is why I blog.

Kevin: Steve at the Bivings Report notes how the Sacramento Bee is requiring commenters to use their real names. I think that allowing people to develop an identity and a sense of ownership in that identity might be as effective.

Suw: Moo and Lulu, bringing print to the web.

Suw: Oh lord, I really need this stuff

Kevin: Very simple instructions on how to install WordPress of Movable Type locally to have as a test set up for blogs. Thanks Brian.
