Election 2.0 – List of social media election sites to watch.

List of Social Media Election sites for Australian 2010 election. An early analysis of election 2010 sites.

Telstra NBN – Goodbye copper networks

Looking back over copper networks – now finished if Telstra and NBN heads of agreement goes ahead as planned.
