Lean startup
It's a new trend of starting a start-up happen all around the world. It's not surprising knowing that the idea is from Silicon Valley. However, since it's new, be skeptical. I prefer to apply it in web startup context only.
Social Media Vs Accessibility
Social Media Vs AccessibilityPublic Sector Forums (PSF ) Buzz & The Public Sector Customer Services Forum
The document discusses the lack of accessibility of social media platforms and provides examples. It notes that while social media pushes for digital engagement, the platforms are generally not accessible for users with disabilities. Common issues include CAPTCHAs that cannot be accessed by screen readers and user interfaces not compatible with keyboard navigation. The document provides some examples of making social media more accessible, such as Facebook making site changes and YouTube offering closed captioning. It emphasizes that accessibility should not be a reason to avoid using social media but is important to understand and properly support. Organizations are encouraged to test accessibility and learn from mistakes.Wiki accessible
A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively edit its content directly from a web browser using a simplified markup language. Ward Cunningham created the first wiki called WikiWikiWeb in 1994, installing it on the web in 1995. Wikis support hyperlinks and easy text syntax for creating new pages, enabling communities to write documents collaboratively without needing HTML coding skills.
Harness the web and grow your business
The document discusses how businesses can harness the power of the web and social media to grow. It outlines that the web is a network of networks, people, and things that provides universal and global access. It emphasizes that businesses must distinguish themselves as a good signal on this amplifier by being engaged on platforms like Twitter, blogs, mailing lists and Facebook. It provides tips for getting started with social media such as blogging regularly, starting an online group, and using metrics to measure progress. Businesses are warned that they must converse authentically to build connections and avoid potential pitfalls like poor content that could damage their reputation.

NHS World Service
The document discusses how new internet technologies could allow the UK's National Health Service (NHS) to share its wealth of public health information with the world in a cost-effective manner. It notes that health information is frequently searched online and that the NHS currently provides information to the UK public. The document proposes having other governments and organizations embed NHS health content on their own websites, allowing the NHS information to reach broader global audiences without requiring them to visit UK sites. It suggests this could provide a valuable source of neutral English language health advice worldwide.

These sites range from village sites with a few hundred views daily to large city discussion forums with tens of thousands of users. They cover topics like local campaigns, events, wildlife and community news. The document advocates that public bodies should engage with and support local sites by providing access to public sector information to help local communities.

DIY-Do It Yourself
- DIY refers to building, modifying, or repairing things without professional help. It became popular in the 1950s for home improvement projects and spread to other areas like art, crafts, and technology.
- DIY allows for informal learning and knowledge sharing locally and globally through platforms like Google, YouTube, Wikipedia and online communities.
- While DIY provides more access to information and support, getting the right information can sometimes be challenging without expertise. The concept is shifting from "Do It Yourself" to "Do It Together" through collaboration.
Rethinking the mobile web
This document discusses how to successfully develop for the mobile web. It notes that while web developers are enthusiastic about the mobile web, they do not yet know how to work with it or support any specific mobile platform. It argues that mobile companies need to court web developers by supporting web standards, attending relevant conferences, hiring developer advocates, giving developers devices for testing, and accepting it will take time. Only companies that treat web developers seriously will have their platforms embraced by developers and fill with popular apps. The document urges mobile companies to talk to web developers to understand their concerns and priorities for developing successful mobile web projects and platforms.

Mozilla Service Week - How to make an impact!
The document provides information about Mozilla Service Week, which takes place from September 14-21, 2009. It aims to connect tech-savvy volunteers with organizations and individuals needing technology assistance. Volunteers can help promote the event, pledge hours, find or create service opportunities, and use templates to guide common tasks like performing an "Internet Health Check." The goal is for 5,000 volunteers to contribute 25,000 hours of service to help people use, access, and improve the web.
Web Development in the Facebook Era
The document provides an overview of traditional web creation in the era of social media. It discusses the early history of the web from its invention in 1989 to the rise of search engines and social media. While many people now spend most of their time on Facebook, the document argues that traditional websites are still relevant for businesses, personal projects, and content that benefits from deeper information and control over user experience. It then provides guidance on how to create a basic website using common tools like domains, hosting, CMS platforms, and analytics.
Creating content
What’s the secret to creating content that spreads like wildfire? There are no guarantees when it comes to going viral in social media, but there are certain types of content that do better than others. Adapted from previous presentations by Amy Vernon, this was the first in a three-part webinar series with Bill Belew and Phil Hollows.
How To Create Content
The document provides tips for creating content that works well on social media. It suggests finding story ideas through tools like Google Alerts, RSS feeds, forums, and Twitter searches. Four types of stories are described: targeted stories about industry news, funny stories that play on current events, how-to stories that teach readers something useful, and commentary that expresses an opinion on popular news. The document also discusses using different types of content like infographics, timelines, videos, photos, and lists. It emphasizes making content useful, relevant, consumable, and keeping it simple.

SEO Post Panda and Penguin
This document provides suggestions for developing an effective long-term SEO strategy in the post-Panda and Penguin algorithm updates. It recommends focusing on creating websites that offer genuine value to users through relevant content and user experience, and promoting sites through natural endorsements rather than manipulative linking practices. Building domain authority over time through quality content, usability improvements, and social engagement will lead to increased organic traffic more reliably than short-term tactics.

The document discusses assistive technology and its future. It describes how assistive technology has stagnated with little innovation and continues to have a clinical stigma. However, additive manufacturing and mainstreaming accessibility into more widely used products provides opportunities to customize assistive technologies to individuals and increase choices for independent living. The role of design, technology, and communities like Enabled by Design are poised to transform assistive technology.

The document summarizes seven inaccuracies and mischaracterizations in the IOP's case for its new building as identified by Cabe Franklin.
1. The IOP's lighting analysis is inaccurate in its assessment of light levels in the living room of 12 Balfe Street, which only has one front window not two as stated.
2. The top floor room characterized as a bedroom is actually used daily as an exercise/changing room.
3. The windows labeled as serving the "Hall" actually light the living room, so reductions in light to those windows are relevant to guidelines.
4. Describing the retail units on Cally Road as "derelict" mischaracterizes their status

William Perrin discussed local media projects funded by the Carnegie UK Trust through the Neighbourhood News program. Five diverse projects were selected through an application process and each received two payments of £5,000. The interim findings showed that local media projects do not need to be capital intensive and can be supported through small amounts of funding. Each project demonstrated a blend of journalism, community engagement, and technical skills. The funding helped create jobs for media workers and increased community involvement in local news production. Perrin raised social and media policy questions around how to better support start-up local news projects and encourage more market competition through small online news providers.

Justice wide open - communities and courts
This document discusses issues with transparency and access to information regarding local courts in the UK. It notes that basic information about daily court listings and case results are not available online, making it difficult for the public and journalists to follow what is happening in their local magistrates court. The document proposes a "Courts Transparency Charter" that would establish citizens' administrative rights to have timely court listings published, including names of all participants, as well as publishing case results online, while still protecting privacy and preventing contempt of court. It argues there is a need to resolve conflicts between open justice traditions and modern data protection and privacy laws and practices.
Using the web in tackling anti social behaviour - Baroness Newlove seminar
William Perrin of Talk About Local discusses how local citizens can use websites to improve their communities by streamlining information sharing and coordinating action on issues like abandoned vehicles, arson, and licensing. A community website called kingscrossenvironment.com engaged 400-500 daily readers and helped secure £1 million in funding. By translating complex issues and driving people to meetings, online networks can empower citizens to be more effective and work with local representatives. While not a replacement for in-person engagement, websites are grassroots media that inform communities without regulation or subsidy.

1) The document discusses how open data and smart data can empower citizens and neighborhoods by giving them information to hold local governments accountable for issues like broken street lights and arson.
2) It provides examples of how open data on street light repair times and abandoned cars could have helped the author address problems in their neighborhood in 2002.
3) The author argues that local governments should embrace open data and empower citizens by giving them the information they need to help deliver public services.
Highbury magistrates presentation
The document discusses sentencing for local crimes in Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court. It outlines the purpose of sentencing as punishment, crime reduction, reform, and public protection. Sentencing options include fines, community service orders, probation, and imprisonment. When determining a sentence, magistrates consider sentencing guidelines, the seriousness of the offense based on factors like harm and culpability, and information about the offender like criminal history and remorse. Guilty pleas may result in reduced sentences. The document prompts magistrates to apply this framework to example theft cases involving offenders of varying ages and circumstances.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
