It’s how the speed, screen size and controlled environment of the iPad now means that content design on screen can finally come of age and grow some balls.

Your content isn’t the same as my content Or so I tweeted whilst watching the recent Apple keynote. A

am finally getting the rest of the series up.   Part 1 , part 2 , part 3, , part 4, part 5 , part 6 , and part 7 are all here on the blog. We have talked throughout this series on communities of practice about “content.” 8221; Well, what the heck is content, why is it important and how do we make the most of it - especially when there is a LOT of it. This is the eighth  in a series of blog posts I wrote for  Darren Sidnick late last year. I

Functional wireframes are incredibly difficult to read - the method of presentation gets in the way of being able to translate the information into a real screen, especially at the review stage. Visual wireframes also started to break down a belief that information architecture can be considered in isolation to information design. The information is the interface. I have a love hate relationship with wireframes. In the last 10 years they’ve been a part of every web project I’ve worked on.

This is a brief report and things we learned about the experimental ‘knowledge networking’ and ‘social reporting’ facilitation work done at Online Information 2008 , co-authored between David Wilcox and Emma Wallace and me. As delegates entered this information as part of their profiles, this gathered two ‘tag clouds’ which reflected the interests of the attendees and gave them a natural route to finding eachother. We worked with Lorna Candy and the team at Incisive Media to help them provide more networking opportunities for delegates and speakers before and during the conference, online and offline, using different tools.

Specifically: how we construct content templates, how that content looks when it’s in place, art direction at a micro level and how we can create richer, more engaging and, importantly, more ‘useful’ reading experiences online. Based on a grid system, they employ a wide central column for the body copy and a number of other columns, usually on the right of the screen, for related information, links to other stories, MPUs, tools, etc. Isaac and I have been discussing how users consume media and news which has raised some interesting questions around online publishing. Specifically:

Since I write for multiple blogs and provide blog consulting services to businesses, my work flow in very content heavy. decided the three main sections are one: content monitoring, two: content collecting, assembling, and creation, and three: content publishing and archiving. Step two then reaches into both steps one and step three for new content. This is the second part of a five part series on how enterprise 2.0 tools can work for an enterprise of one, myself in this case.

From time to time I run workshops, strategy sessions and give keynotes at Travel and Tourism conferences on the role of social networks, user generated content and peer reviews in that industry A new industry booklet from Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre (STCRC) has revealed the power of interactive web tools, or user-generated content (UGC), in influencing consumer’s travel plans. The research has revealed that almost a third of people think interactive web tools such as blogs, reviews and star ratings are ‘very influential’ in their holiday planning, with a further 50% saying these tools have ‘certain influence’ on their travel decisions.

Making sense of huge piles of raw information used to require a degree in computer science, a university lab mainframe’s worth of circuits, and an awful lot of time. Data enthusiasts like Cohen and Gundersen see in this changed information landscape the potential to do something big: leverage the interest of a newly enlightened public with ever-improving technological tools at its disposal to shine a giant spotlight on the inner workings of the government. How well is data-driven democracy doing? In the Washington Monthly , Charles Homans has an extensive investigation into

The main thing for me was to chat with Affiliate marketers about how social networks pass information around. But it does show that influencers can bridge social networks carrying the information across from one community to another. User generated content - blog articles, videos, podcasts, take time to gain traction. Ack While you are reading the presentation outline below I’d like you to think about the Twitter change today. Today Twitter turned off “see replies to those I’m not following”.

decided the three main sections are one: content monitoring, two: content collecting, assembling, and creation, and three: content publishing and archiving. Step two then reaches into both step one and step three for new content. Here are some potential new school approaches to content collecting, assembling, and creation that I discussed with Gil. This is the fourth part of a five part series on how enterprise 2.0 tools can work for an enterprise of one, myself in this case.
