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.

Hat tip: young Priscilla I could have fun with a real estate site. It would get sued – I’d call it SlumLordAndLady.com.au but it would be a hoot! Why not just tag these ones with “humour” and change the puky green menu bar to some lovely colour with smiley faces on it, so we all know it’s not real? Then leave it be? gosh I have so many ideas for how to build community around classifieds. I really need to concentrate though… Property ID: 2006832414 Kirribilli House: OPEN FOR INSPECTION sorry OPEN FOR ELECTION Impressive waterfront views! Poised on the Continue Reading…

So a) is it good enough and b)is this a model I want to support? User-pays online is rarely successful, its better to look at another model. But I do like Crikey. Lots.
