This is a presentation I gave to one of my favourite Australian television stations:

Social Media And Building Tv Audiences Communities

View more documents from Laurel Papworth.

Here are my notes (my presos work better as experiences rather than blog posts but never mind..):

I talked about social media evolution – we started with blogs as a one-to-many channel but they didn’t come with in built audiences. So Facebook came along at the right time. But Facebook is a gated community, Twitter gave us live updates and half gated discussions. In other words there is a reason why we migrate from one tool to another.

Pfft. It’ll never catch on… (image: Duke.edu) You’ve got until THIS Friday to have your say. That’s the way it works, don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger: On 16 October 2008, the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, announced the release of a discussion paper aimed at stimulating ideas and comments about the future roles of Australia’s two national broadcasters, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Special Broadcasting Service (SBS). If you know what you want to say, say it on the government site. Not sure? Then have a look at the PDF background Continue Reading…

Australia: KevinPM Web 1.0 site

For a second, I thought he was self gagging a protest on Minister for No-Broadband Stephen Conroy’s ISP filter plan #nocleanfeed. KevinPM is not Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is about social media. I’ts not about using social networks to push agency media, nor is it one way “PM to voter”. Web 2.0 is interaction PM to voter to PM, or at least voter to voter. Now, I don’t think that Kevin Rudd should sit on Twitter (KevinRuddPM) all day responding to a handful of voters chatting. He has better things to do. Like run a country. But a designated Senior Continue Reading…

Please place your foto on Flickr, use tag nocleanfeed so I can find it HERE. Lots of brouhaha at the moment over the internet filters. As opposition grows against the Government’s controversial plan to censor the internet, the head of one of Australia’s largest ISPs has labelled the Communications Minister the worst we’ve had in the past 15 years. Separately, in Senate question time today, Greens senator Scott Ludlam accused the Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, of misleading the public by falsely claiming his mandatory censorship plan was similar to that already in place in Sweden, Britain, Canada and New Zealand.

LONG LIVE Recommendation 7.14 “… content funded by Australian governments … should be made freely available over the internet ” (as long as you don’t want to quote/discuss it, one assumes). A few days ago, the National Innovation System Review came out. I have had it open on my desktop for a while trying to decide what part to blog. So here it is: IMAGE: “Sorry copying text from this document is not allowed” So much for being able to blog about innnovation in Australia. Innovative Discussion: The exact sum total of how much the Government of Australia values a Continue Reading…

Google has gone into partnership with the ubiquitous cable magnate John Malone and the bank HSBC to give internet access to people in Africa and other nations via LEO satellites. Financial Times: They will today announce an order for 16 low-earth orbit satellites from Thales Alenia Space, the French aerospace group, as the first stage in a $750m project to connect mobile masts in a swath of countries within 45 degrees of the equator to fast broadband networks. Larry Alder, product manager in Google’s alternative access group, said the project could bring the cost of bandwidth in such markets down Continue Reading…

Social Network Telecommunications view presentation (tags: open-mesh fon telecommunications to) Whew, I just got home from presenting on Social Network Telecommunications – the Consumer as ISP at Broadband Australia 2008 conference. Anyway, I thought I’d take you through the slides (above), which develop further my other open mesh blog posts. The First Bit (up to slide 6) Click or got to Flickr for full view of diagram I wanted to show that currently social media is still very 2.0. Locked down content. The user generated video or podcast or photo or mix of all goes in the content box. It’s Continue Reading…

… or, are blogs dying/dead?Click for readable diagram: Any content site that is pre-prepared content, single channel, little crossover, lecture style etc. The problem with blogs is they aren’t collaborative. Yes of course it’s possible to have a conversation. People can leave comments on your blog – the Dine In version. Or they can comment in their own blog post, linking back to yours (Take Out or TakeAway). Or a mashup of the two, by commenting on an RSS feed about your blog. But it ain’t collaborative. I’m speaking here specifically about Blogs. Blogs are portals for content you create Continue Reading…

Video 3.0 – Social Video

I said on the 2WebCrew podcast ages ago that YouTube was dead and just didn’t know it. I got poohpoohed. But I think my points were valid. YouTube is trapped content. It’s not peer-to-peer, but hosted ‘static’ content. It’s like a traditional broadcast channel online. Look at how the politicians used it in the last Australia election. That’s not Social Video. It was great, for us to create content at home and then publish online, but it’s not collaborative.Enter Qik.Use your mobile phone and stream LIVE to their site. Not ‘film with your mobile and then upload, at your leisure, Continue Reading…

April Fool’s Day rituals: Whirlpool and NineMSN

Warning! Warning! ***Spoiler*** Don’t read ahead if you still like to believe in Santa Claus and pixies and that social networks will solve world hunger, global warming and your personal financial woes. Communities offline and online have rituals. It could be an Easter egg hunt at Easter, or Talk like a Pirate Day, or even just how we say hello/goodbye and thank you. Each ritual has a deeper tribal meaning – I think clinking glasses and having a toast was about calling down vengeance if anyone snuck some poison in. April Fool’s Day may well be the one day of Continue Reading…
