Engaging with the community using social media

via slideshare.net

I had the honour of presenting this Vital Issues Seminar today for the Parliamentary Library, at Australia's Parliament House. In between interruptions by the bells, Sen. Kate Lundy chaired the meeting and even managed to throw me some curly questions to deal with.

Also demonstrating that the Parliamentary Library is walking the Gov 2.0 talk, you will find a copy of my slides and also a sound recording* of my presentation on the Parliament's Website. This I should add is not only a great resource for people working in parliament, but also those that wouldn't necessarily normally have access to these sessions either.

*BTW that noise at the beginning is the bells ringing through the PA system.

So, you don't want people commenting on your Website? Watch out for Google's Sidewiki

I don't want to pick on the SMH in particular, but it was the first site I found with some real comments attached:


BTW You don't have to install Sidewiki to follow the comments, there is an RSS stream (e.g. the SMH home page) although it appears to be restricted the comments per URL not the whole domain. The API for this service also means we could expect to see a bunch of new tools appearing that take advantage of it, e.g. Twitter integration.

One defence against SideWiki are encrypted (HTTPS) pages. And luckily for intranet managers, SideWiki doesn't support comments on internal sites. Yet, anyway...
