Online communities based around creativity and passion can be interesting beasts. Particularly if they exist also as an offline community because it’s intriguing to see how they play out online. The St Kilda Writer’s Festival was on this past weekend. It’s so disappointing when they go to all the trouble to put up lots ofinformation…
I headed over to the Financial Time’s site to a piece on the BBC and their revamp. It was titled “BBC’s warns of ‘big shock’ as it signals shake-up of its website“. The snippet they (Emiko Terazono and Aline van Duyn) gave me looked enticing… The BBC, already the UK’s biggest online brand, yesterday signalled…
I did have high hopes for NowWeAreTalking (see my bloglet and subsequent comments) Telstra’s attempt to build an online community around it’s services. But. The Age (Helen Westerman and Rebecca Urban) has an article, Telstra makes a discourtesy call. TELSTRA’S online mouthpiece nowwearetalking.com.au likes to do some plain speaking.But a recent posting taking a swing…

There’s very few threads and posts. The forums are over moderated and the online community seems to be destined to pat Media…
Forums finger doof deadbeats!!11!!! So says David Braithwaite of the Sydney Morning Herald. Forums on doof community websites such as australiens.net and oztrance.com are buzzing with chatter about undesirable gatecrashers at the Good Friday, Amazing Sunday event. Well I went to australiens.net thread (for the Alien in every Australian) and there were 17 posts. That…

You pick a postcard and have to finish the sentence A Real Australian…” Do you like my entry? Wish me luck! I’m not sure if it…
