Interesting item on use of Web 2.0 technolgies to open public debate and enable the public service organisations to use the “power of the cloud”
From Asher Moses in the SMH on 16/June/09 posted this article
The NSW Ministry of Transport is developing an official application for iPhones and other mobiles that will allow public transport users to plan trips and track their ferries, buses and trains in real-time.
Good to see NSW Government starting to embrace iPhone and mobile technology at long last.
Note that apart from Oprah and Ashton real content is being distributed through twitter….
CNN’s breaking news feed, ,000 followers to reach one million.

Article from Miranda Divine in the SMH today…. some interesting points!
In a speech to the House of Lords last month, an Oxford University neuroscientist, Susan Greenfield, warned about the effect on the brain of friendship through a screen on MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and Twitter. They can effectively rewire children’s synapses, “infantilising” the brain and eroding attention-span and empathy.
So what do you think?
Bittorrent in the news again, this time with iiNet being sued.
iiNet has previously said that the case was “like suing the electricity company for things people do with their electricity”.

A good use of technology, getting people to vent what they think about NSW roads and public transport through this site put up by NRMA.
Original article for this was on SMH http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2009/03/24/1237656900855.html.

Interesting to look at how the company that makes the flash/flex etc does training, and also a flashback to ColdFusion delveopment.
The ColdFusion 8 project-based curriculum is designed to teach experienced web developers how to create dynamic, database-driven web applications using ColdFusion 8.

Time to kill IE6! 
some things make you smile. Yes can we please get rid of IE6… unfortunately on this side of the firewall we don’t have everything certified for Mozilla / Open Standards, we still have IE6 functionality that is essential to certain business apps actually working,… but aside from than yes please bring down ie6!
“IE6 is the new Netscape 4. The hacks needed to support IE6 are increasingly viewed as excess freight. Like Netscape 4 in 2000, IE6 is perceived to be holding back the web.” – Jeff Zeldman, standards guru

OK, I’m a little behind the news on this but Google has now finally released Urchin 6.5. Google bought Urchin a few years back and reused some of that technology in the Google Analytics suite. Google Analytics is fine as long as your in the public space but just doesn’t work for intranets and “behind the firewall” knowledgebases.
Now, New, Next
