speaking of social media… have you seen Pownce? Got invites going free if you’re interested… C is quite excited about it – but then that could be caused by the boredom of doing security policy doco for a Govt Dept….

@quadrapop: I’ve just spent 2 whole minutes looking at Pownce, and I’m underwhelmed.

Pownce is a way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends. You’ll create a network of the people you know and then you can share stuff with all of them, just a few of them, or even just one other person really fast.

In other words, instead of just emailing or phoning my friends directly to tell them stuff, I route it through this third party called Pownce who get to insert advertising into it.

Sorry, what’s the benefit for me again?

Say you had a great photo you wanted to share with all of your friends. Just add the file and all of your friends will get it right away. They’ll be able to reply and tell you if it’s cool.

Oh, you mean just like if I emailed it to them? Or posted it on my blog?

Bah.

I’ve commented on Australia’s federal Budget for Crikey every May since Labor took power in 2007. This year will be no exception — but how will I top last year’s rant?

Look, I’ve been thinking about this stuff all week and I can’t decide. So over to you. Scroll down for a Proper Scientific Poll on the Internet! What media stuff would you like me to do? I last wrote about this in January, in Five questions and no answers about my media work. Read that [...]
Weekly Wrap 152: LulzSec, Optus, radio and thinking stuff

05 May 2013 in Weekly Wrap

My week Monday 29 April to Sunday 5 May 2013 began gently, with planning and washing and other chores, and just two articles to write. But by Wednesday night I’d also done four radio spots, washed an infinite number of towels, and eaten most of a sheep. Or so it felt. Then Thursday was full [...]
Talking LulzSec and hacktivism on Triple J’s “Hack”

04 May 2013 in Conversations, Internet, Media, Politics

On Tuesday, Triple J’s current affairs program Hack decided to take a look at hacktivism more generally in the wake of Matthew Flannery’s arrest — and boy was it a shemozzle! I was interviewed for half an hour or more. Also interviewed were independent journalist and “chaos magnet” Asher Wolf, and Nigel Phair from the [...]
