G’Day World: Independent Investigative Journalism

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Cameron Reilly’s recent Podcast “Ex-Gloria Jean’s Franchisees Speak Out” is investigative journalism in the raw.
Further evidence that non “Mainstream Media” can do deep investigative journalism. TPN goes into the same orbit as Crikey.com.au in my book.
The story has been going along for some months and shows Cameron’s desire to find out the story to a [...]

Our Benevolent Federal Government should Filter More

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

As commented over on Stephen Collin's Blog: Dumb decision by our new government over ‘Net filtering. Some people mention this is a mere policy dump on the last day of 2007. Of course, the Australian web 2.0 community is not necessarily happy about all this talk of censorship.

Stilgherrian Rattles Their Cages

Monday, December 17th, 2007

It is difficult to believe any organisation lives in the mid 20th Century.
Yet, Stilgherrian has found one. Maybe it's his vet?
There will be a point where us Generation-X-ers start worrying about the future rather than the size of our LCD/Plasma screens. We'll look to our parents and apologise for our self-centred-ness (whilst underneath blaming the [...]

The Immersive Conversation

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Thinking ahead of the game.
Scoble is leaving PodTech. Doing something else from mid-January 2008.
In his post he talked about live streaming/twittering and the conversation that results from immediate connectivity to an audience.
From Scoble's post:
Another thing that opened my eyes? The Google Open Social press conference where I had the only video, thanks to Kyte.tv and [...]

Duncan Riley, On The Pod #9

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Thanks to Duncan Riley for a great conversation today - now On The Pod, on The Podcast Network.
Articles mention: Jeff Sandquist in the April 2007 Wired.
"The heat internal being 70x" is a littler hyperbolic - more like 70% of the heat is internal when blogger steps outside our blogging guidelines. Some notes on our Policy [...]

In Like Mike

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Uncle Mike talked about this last week: why you tag your photos (cc) and geotag your photos.
Unlike other large corporations who have mis-used (cc) licensed photos, Schmap correctly asked and obtained permission to use one of my photos on their site:
