Comments elsewhere:What I've been saying elsewhere:
- Mission Creep | Neil Williams " Blog Archive " Government Twitter etiquette: talk but don't follow
- Neil Williams: "Twitter is more than that. It’s a two-way relationship, a network, and wherever possible we try to treat it that way."
- Breaking rocks " Lost ConsCIOusness
- Mark O'Neill: "Complexity adds risk. If I have just a single rock then my risks are limited, the rock basically sits there. I could lose it or drop it or trip over it or break it but that’s about it. If I have two rocks then not only have I now doubled the number of those risks but I gain new ones as well - one of the rocks could fall off the other for example or I could lose one rock behind the other."
- Six approaches for social media adoption - 6. Embed " Whitehall Webby - digital media in government
- Jeremy Gould: "What do I mean by embed? I mean investing in self-hosted applications and tools to allow officials to use social media tools in a corporate environment."
- Free Our Data: the blog " Blog Archive " Ononemap.com to close, pursued by Environment Agency
- Free Our Data: "The website ononemap.com, which has been featured here on a number of occasions - first for getting the list of telephone masts, and then for getting Environment Agency data about flood risks for England, Scotland and Wales - is shutting down."
- Unlocking the Power of Local Government Information " Power of Information Task Force
- Richard Allen, Power of Information Task Force: "This is our draft recommendation for local councils wanting to follow a Power of Information approach"
- Mission Creep | Neil Williams " Blog Archive " Avoid social media mistakes: forget the technology and focus on the task
- Neil Williams: "Choosing a technology without a firm idea of what you’re trying to do is one of the fastest ways to fail."
