Facebook's new privacy policy - scarey?

This is worth a read...if you DON"T OPT OUT, they have they right to share your and your connections images and other data with advertisers.

I really don't think this is OK.

Palin on Alaska

Ian Ritchie is amazed to hear that Sarah Palin has been booked to present an 8 part TV series on Alaska. EIGHT HOURS!! - jeez! - one hour refuelling at Anchorage was quite enough for me.

The Chancellor: Tweet or Twat?

Did you catch the debate between our three prospective Chancellors last night on Channel 4?

C4 News' Krishnan Guru-Murthy chaired an hour-long live debate between Alistair Darling, Vince Cable and George Osbourne, which invited viewers to send in their questions. The event drew 1.8 million viewers… Continue

Time and Space

Lifelong learning, flexible partnerships, collaboration as a default – all phrases I used at the recent Adult Learning in Scotland Conference. But what do these phrases really mean?

Firstly, they mean a small but fundamental shift in the focus of our attention: a redefinition of what we mean by success and effectiveness. Rather than ask how the institution benefits, we begin to ask how the individual benefits and to look at the greater… Continue

UK Digital Economy Bill - are we heading for internet censorship?

Picked up on this today.

Is this scaremongering or are we looking at something a bit more serious? I'm not seeing a lot of chat on this over here, anyone have thoughts?

Interactive Highlands - The Human Dimension.

At the Interactive Scotland launch last week the feedback from the floor was dominated by calls for high speed broadband to be rolled out across the highlands. If there is no broadband in the Highlands then Interactive Scotland becomes a msinomer for Interactive Central Celt - which doesn't have the same visionary Nation changing ring about it.

We once moved to the Highlands on the grounds that our PR business didn't strictly require… Continue

On the Digital Inspiration "Platform Strategy"

[Copied from a response at http://blog.digitalinspiration.org.uk/2009/12/platform-announcement/.]

I think the intent here is good. But there are huge obstacles to achieving this as part of any grand plan. I'm not sure it's even a very good idea to attempt to do it.

I think we need to start with a much better definition of what we mean when we say "platform".

There… Continue

WouldYou like to go to Cannes?

I think this is so funny and clever.

To enjoy the video and enter the competition you possibly would have to join 'The Auteurs' and have a facebook account. It's just fun!

Good afternoon 38Minute-ers,

Facebook gives you syphilis - official

Well, we all knew it was bound to happen sooner or later, and now it has.

In my day it was toilet seats, door handles, or, as many a mother would claim, hanging around with those girls who smoked and wanted to go up the park for 'a bit'.

Now, we know that was all superstitious nonsense, duff gen, not worth the paper it was printed on. For today the real culprit has been named and shamed and I think we can all agree, we had a… Continue

Holding power to account

Social media sites are often hailed as the digital guardians of democracy, holding power to account and delivering news directly to consumers without the need for a journalist to act as mediator.

Yet political events of the past few weeks have reinforced the valuable role of good old journalism. On Monday, Channel 4's Dispatches: Politicians For Hire revealed secret footage in which politicians including Geoff Hoon, Patricia Hewitt… Continue

Sometimes under our very noses

Delighted to have discovered the quite incredible work of sound artist, performer and the sad dj Marco Donnaruma scudding into my inbox via those lovely French digi-aesthetes at Digitalarti.com this morning. Doubly delighted to discover that having performed in over 15 countries from Europe via India and the Americas, that Marco is based in Auld Reekie, aka Edinburgh.

Read more about Marco and his work on free, open source culture at… Continue

Shop Art - The Thrill of the Haul

It was originally Descartes who said 'Cogito ergo sum' - I think therefore I am - a catchy little statement that supposedly defined existence. This was later revised in the 20th century by philosopher A J Ayer who thoughtfully… Continue

Power to the people?

My good friend Woody has a saying, 'No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.'

It seems a fair comment especially when governments take a high-handed attitude towards policy.

Such high-handedness can be seen in the way the present government are attempting to… Continue

Coming to a living room near you

Sometimes I wonder if we fully appreciate the massive change technology has brought in the last 40 years.

I am old enough to remember the revolution Color TV brought to our humdrum b&w lives in the late 1960s.

One of my parents' neighbours bought a… Continue
