After a decade of IBM thinkpads, I shifted to a Apple IMAC G5 20", set up the Airport Express wireless network, plugged in the Shuffle, and synched my O2 XDAii. RSS, Tagging and Podcasting. Just bringing Web 2.0 to Australia.

At the same time Matthew Ingram is blogging about the protocol of twittering at funerals : "I found it interesting that amid all of the hand-wringing, the rabbi who did the service didn’t seem to see anything wrong with it at all. He seemed to feel the same way as I do — that it might have been helpful for some people who couldn’t come" - the age old blogger vs journalism 2004 US debate, continues to do the Aussie Idol 2008 conference circuit @ Future of Journalism summit. Good "FOJ" summize thread. Cam is playing his normal devils advocate role up in his new home state. Good 2c some things will never change. Although irony is Cam doesnt appear to be twittering (even if he's on stage) but traditional slash convergent media types are :)

25c here today so it would be perfect for some top down bart-nega captured "Lovely Porsche 997 Turbo Cabrio" as he titled his photo. But as all I need to really achieve is from A (sitting in front of imac google reading) to B (coffee shop in Balnarring 8 minute drive away) I dont really need a 997 TT Cab, but doesnt mean I dont want one. What do we put ourselves thru business for anyway ?Gladiators survival of the fittest ? Family and spawn ? Bunkered Compounds ?
Um anyway, Steven Hodson is having a similar end of week 'Wow There Is A World Beyond Social Media' blog post : "Social media might be a really cool idea and all the services being bu - i'd yammer as well as twitter, instead of, or preferably within basecamp.September 12

Interesting dilemma posed by Fred Wilson (Brad Feld seemed in opposite camp) re whether a twitter for the enterprise is wanted for microblogging or whether employees are consumers prefer the original, bottom up consumer centric twitter. I love twitter, but with clients and competitors on it and monitoring I can't really say certain things. So some of the features, authority provision and features of yammer (company email address) sounds really attractive to me.
So would I use yammer over twitter ? No. Would I use yammer for the microblogging portion of my collaborative projects over the equivalent non-existent features in basecamp ? (then hopefully thru api's and feeds suck yammer functionality back into basecamp) - Totally. So I see a future for yammer. And for those that think a derivative of twitter cant win; Ask the flickr guys - end of week asian blogging goog m+a while doggies trounce swans.September 12

It's been a big damn week I achieved enough of my Monday blog post todo list and I dealt with the high priority issues, which will follow into execution of tasks next week. But I've started and broken the back of it, and got some rhythm playa, so after hearing the dogs get their groove back and trounce the swans, I like hearing about Asian based blogging type companies (in this case the "Brand Yourself" TNC) outside the US, be acquired by google. Makes u think u might not be crazy implementing a non-US blog related strategy :P
