E-mail Print PDF

the future of TV?Watching ABC TV's Q&A while tracking comments on Twitter has become an obligatory combination.  Where else can you watch a discussion involving prominent social commentators and review public responses in real time?  All you need to do is search twitter.com with the hashtag #qanda and follow the discussion which is always very lively.  Q&A is breaking new ground as an interactive forum which allows viewers to participate, not only by asking questions in the studio but by posting questions and video questions to the Q&A website and by creating 'mashups'.  Mashups are short, user generated multimedia presentations.  The Q&A site offers a large range of video footage which can be downloaded and integrated into a funny political satire.  The nature of the program and the site is truly democratic allowing viewers to upload their videos and have have political comments aired on national TV.

I've been adding new links to the weblinks section of my Joomla installation (Sliced Wikizine)for some time now and have managed to build quite a nice collection of very cool Web 2.0 type links in a range of categories (including: Animation Blogging Code Graphics Web Design Social Media Multimedia Writing and Online Tools ) One thing that always bothered me was that the new links I added always displayed last on the list of links. Of course, links can be manually reordered using the admin backend but I couldn't help thinking there had to be an easier way. Of course there is...

The Weekend Eunuch

E-mail Print PDF

female eunuch"When I was in high school in the '70s, I was a member of a generation of girls lucky enough to benefit from the gains won for us by the feminists of earlier decades. We were told we could do and be anything we wanted. Yet, more than 30 years later, there are still some occupations and professions that many people regard as 'men's work'..." Editors Note by Judith Whelan, editor of the Good Weekend Magazine, Sydney Morning Herald. Whelan goes on to say that the 'women's issue' will contain stories on women in a range of jobs; a jockey. a pilot an engineer, a doctor and an umpire. It might well be true that many occupations and professions are still regarded as men's work, that the glass ceiling still exists and that equal employment opportunity rules go only part of the way towards redressing the imbalance. However, this belies the fact that Whelan's editorship of The Good Weekend may well have significantly hampered the feminist cause and moves towards equality.

Red Sky in the Morning: Turnbull's Warning?

E-mail Print PDF

sydney_dust_storm001Sydney siders awoke on September 23 to a blood red sky. The fiery haze was the result of the sun hitting the blanket of dust, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Jane Golding said.

"The reason for the dust is we had some really strong winds in the inland areas of NSW and in South Australia for a sustained period yesterday," she said. Source: smh

As far as the climate change and ETS debate goes, the timing couldn't be worse for Malcolm Turnbull and the coalition. A wave of strange weather has hit eastern Australia and the words on everyone's lips is 'climate change'. This coincides with Kevin Rudd's attendance at a special United Nations climate change summit in New York and an ultimatum to Malcolm Turnbull from Senator Penny Wong: "If Opposition amendments are not made available in October, the Government's capacity to consider these amendments seriously, and with appropriate prudence, would be significantly constrained... " Her words carry the implicit threat of an early election. Source: Herald Sun

The End of Twitter?

E-mail Print PDF

One of my followers on Twitter yesterday, and I wished I could remember the User name that posted it, posted a link marked as "What if Twitter shut down?" You can read the entire article here.

After reading the post, I wondered who dropped the ball on this? And what if indeed Twitter could be ordered to shut down, what would it mean to any of the other social-media sites like Facebook? What would this mean to other micro-blogging sites? Are they infringing on TechRadium's Patent also?

One would think that with the success of Twitter, TechRadium would work with Twitter to see how they could build on the usefulness of Twitter. Last I read, 4 million users were registered with Twitter. You cannot dismiss a community of 4 million people from one day to another.
