Legal issues in Web 2.0

Friday, March 26th, 2010

This week the UK eInformation Group put on an event in Edinburgh looking at the legal issues in Web 2.0, presented by Professor Charles Oppenheim.

Unfortunately I was unable to go, but via the magic of Twitter, and some fantastic live-tweeting by @karenblakeman, I was able to follow the key messages from the day.

I’d recommend checking out the hashtag #ukeig, or for your convenience Karen has also set up a Tweetdoc of the event.

Thanks again Karen!

Better Connected 2010 and the changing web

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Hot on the heels of their (always hotly debated) annual report on the state of local government websites (Better Connected 2010), we were pleased to welcome SOCITM reviewer John Fox to a workshop session this morning to provide what he described as a “web content ra-ra-ra presentation”.

Disclaimer – I haven’t had the chance to read the full #BC10 report yet. I hope to add my own perspectives to this blog once I have. What follows is a summary of John’s presentation on the report and what he thinks it means for local authorities.
