Interesting post on trying to identify all the areas of cost that might be involved in implementing a Social media strategy - Tony Molloy

I joined to be part of the conversation! I also see the room as another great listening post. - Avi Kaplan

I just picked up a non-profit client in my new media consulting work. As I develop a social media strategy for them, I expect to be paying close attention to what people are saying in this group. - Blackeyed P

"You might also like to join the growing community in the FIR Friendfeed Room – http://friendfeed.com/fir – it’s private, just request a subscription. There are lots of links to resources, posts, etc that relate to show topics or that other members have found and shared" - Tony Molloy

"Opera's right-click menu also allows you to send selected text to the Directgov search if you've created it" - Tony Molloy

"If you're using Opera, open the Directgov website in the browser, right click (Ctrl click for you Mac fans) in the Directgov Search box and select Create Search from the drop down. Enter a name and keyword (for example Directgov and dg) and save. You should then have Directgov as a search engine choice" - Tony Molloy

"An excellent list Dave. I think the only bit of hardware I’d add might be a portable mixer if you’re running a number of input streams/devices at any location. On the audio recording side, I’ve used the Zoom H4’s little brother, the H2 and it performs really well and appears as a USB drive when connected to your PC, so taking the recorded audio off for editing, etc is very easy. There’s lots of audio editing software to choose from and Audacity is a good choice, Wavepad is another one that gets mentioned quite a lot. Another very useful tool is Levelator http://www.conversationsnetwork.org/levelat... which evens out the sound levels across the whole recording very effectively. Just to move away from the ‘kit’ slightly, I think another important aspect of any reporting that you intend to do is to have a plan of what you want from it before you do it, rather than do it and then wonder what you can do with it. I don’t think this planning needs to be burdensome, but it should help you..." - Tony Molloy

"I set up an internally hosted Wordpress blog at work and it provides our primary communication tool for staff and volunteers, in place of a number of noticeboards, endless emails to ‘all staff’, printed documents in pigeonholes, circulation folders, etc. Anyone can register for an account and all are given Author rights by default so can post and comment. It’s available from any PC. It also serves as a basic intranet by using pages rather than posts to hold the internal telephone directory, useful phone numbers, copies of electronic newsletters, policy documents, etc , etc. The home page also serves as a gateway to all the other online services that are used, so it’s a portal as well. It’s been quickly taken up by everyone and is usually the first port of call for the volunteers when they come on shift, to see what’s new. It’s also good for new trainees, etc as they have one place they can go to for everything and don’t have to remember lots of different URL’s etc. The cost was (and..." - Tony Molloy

"I’m in, can I run Linux on it?" - Tony Molloy

"The medium IS the message" - Tony Molloy

I'm not competent to comment for the non-profit sector, but maybe some of this room's members might like to join in with the FIR community? - Tony Molloy

British academics are about to embark on a novel research project that will see business leaders from some of the world's leading companies use PlayStation 3 as a business tool. - Tony Molloy

"Usefully, Akregator only shows me the RSS text unless I choose to read the complete story and if you view the site in Firefox with NoScript turned up full the only ad that comes through is the Amazon link, so it's not too bad at all" - Tony Molloy

Nah, if they get it they'd have bought a Linux netbook :-) - Tony Molloy from IM

Leave it at home? - Tony Molloy from IM

track interests using the Semantic Web and collective intelligence. - Tony Molloy

"140 I’m Looking at what’s available in Social Media, Open Source & ICT to organisations in the UK Charity & VCO sectors" - Tony Molloy

I usually say that 'social networking' or 'social networks' are the 'private side' (facebook, linkedin, etc) , and 'social media' the 'public side' (digg, delicious, flickr, youtube, twitter, friendfeed) - Alex Barredo

what's interesting to me is how people define the word 'media'. I was originally thinking of it as mediums that go beyond words so, photos, videos - hence flickr and youtube as 'social media'. There is also the sense of media in its common use as 'news'. However, there is another thread on FF, which I can't find now, that defines media as 'the medium in which people communicate' hence blogs, email, discussion groups are all social media. - Laura Norvig

This is a collaborative resource. Created by activists, for activists. We are discussing the basics of organizing loose groups of people - networks. - Tony Molloy

"Good post Dave, There are some details of various Linux Blog editors here http://beans.seartipy.com/2007... and some more here http://beans.seartipy.com/2007... I don’t know what they’re like though, I use Scribefire myself" - Tony Molloy

There's a notice on the UK site - http://www.bestwestern.co.uk/ - Tony Molloy

Thanks Tony. Interesting this is only on the UK website; maybe they're trying to keep it local, as it were. - Neville Hobson

Imagine having the freedom to organize information the way you think. - Tony Molloy

I implemented a simple in-house Wordpress blog on an old server as an experiment in creating an 'intranet' for the non-profit where I work, using posts for dynamic content and pages for the static stuff (internal phone list, etc), to hopefully provide a central, timely, information source and to see if the staff&volunteer team would get value from it. It got 60+ posts in the first month... more... - Tony Molloy
