Game

I am going to Delivering the New PR 2.0 next week, which should give a good oppor­tunity to see what those cheeky spin-​​​​monkeys are going to come up with next. I was hoping to sign up for Journalism 2.0, but appar­ently it involves losing your job and defaulting on your mortgage. ;)

Speaking of deliv­ering the

Children

Pesky beggars. Haven’t thought about them a lot since I left teaching ten years ago.

Anyway, I just wanted to express some appre­ci­ation for Channel 4 and Steve Moore from poli­cy­un­plugged for organ­ising today’s In The Wild event. It was about how Channel 4 Learning might develop inter­active content to replace (in the main) its ter­restrial broad­cast content. The

The same thing goes for some­thing like del.icio.us — you’re almost com­pelled to write about ‘tasty features’, ‘yummy deals’ and other

Live and Blogging

A little spat has developed this week over some­thing called Liveblogging, which I found quite inter­esting because it brings up some con­ten­tious ideas and opinions about blogging in general. And I’m not refer­ring to the shameful ‘heavy fingers’ incident that spoiled the Guardian Changing Media con­fer­ence for one unfortunate woman…

Liveblogging refers to people blogging an
