Cory Doctorow is God. Well, by rights he should be given his insightful ’seven straw-men of the meta-utopia’ tenet.
By rights also, Doctorow should be up there with flaky luminaries like Tim Berners-Lee or the raft of other Social Media ‘Experts’ and ‘Cloud Consultant’ brigade of poseurs.
Despite the over-arching desire of organisations to mould, to [...]

Ankle-deep in rain, shivering and sneezing, norovirus and Swine Flu 2.0 on the way, could it get any worse?

It could. And yet while the above external variables are all out of our direct control, there are those we have direct control over yet we neglect at our peril.

Hence a word to the wise: only this very week, after two years of stalwart service 24/7, my trusty laptop (no names, no pack drill) died due to what appeared to be a shorted out 5v pin on the USB chip – which in its death throes, greedily took all the vital data thereon down with it into Dante’s digital inferno.

Once upon a time it was all so simple. Wasn’t it? Content was just, well, content. The guts of documents, files, records, stuff which had content and was worth keeping.
Now, it’s all changed. Not only has the whole ‘content is king’ thing changed beyond all recognition since the digitalisation [...]

To those of a certain age, it hardly seems five minutes ago that Jim Barksdale of Netscape Communications was waxing lyrical, like some web evangelist, on the merits of the Navigator web browser – over and above the arch-villain Mosaic-based Internet Explorer variant.

Following on from our last edition where we featured digital assets, the notion of ‘toxic’ financial assets has been all over the mainstream media, highlighting the relative value of tangible and intangible assets. Apparently, many wealth management funds are trying to move client assets into gold, a safe haven during times of economic upheaval. So, while bonds and other securities take a battering, the realisation that an asset has value has shot right up the agenda to the extent that Wall Street and its creative financial engineers are scrabbling around for liquidity plumbers to unblock the pipes.

Last weekend’s inaugural meeting of the Convention on Modern Liberties (www.modernliberty.net) was a resounding endorsement in the effectiveness of new social media and user-generated content, not to mention the digital asset management systems to create, store and retrieve the raft of rich media created from the single event itself.

Witnessing cameras and microphones swarming around the convention hall, being streamed live online to the web as well as narrowcast on big screens to other affiliated events around the country, was a compelling example of the potential for Web 2.0 and beyond into rich content which adds value.
