A pre­sen­ta­tion given at Web Directions South, Sydney Australia, September 29 2006.

It seems that every­one is talk­ing about user gen­er­ated con­tent and online com­mu­ni­ties these days. But how will cit­i­zen jour­nal­ism, user-​​generated con­tent, the Blogosphere, tag­ging, rank­ing, and Wiki knowl­edge reshape brand­ing and your busi­ness? How do you man­age and scale this com­mu­nity and then hand con­trol to your users (and how do you explain to the boss what you’ve just done?). Gain an under­stand­ing that dia­logue is the new con­tent and learn how to max­imise the ben­e­fits (and min­imise the pit­falls) of cre­at­ing online com­mu­ni­ties in this pre­sen­ta­tion.

A pre­sen­ta­tion given at Web Directions South, Sydney Australia, September 29 2006.

In this spe­cialised ses­sion Thomas gets us up to speed with his “Come to Me Web” frame­work for struc­tur­ing infor­ma­tion and web sites. This frame­work includes the “Model of Attraction”, Personal InfoCloud, and Folksonomy. This ads the focus of design­ing and devel­op­ing for infor­ma­tion use across devices and con­text. With this frame­work we can con­sider mobile, broad­band, web stor­age and per­sonal off-​​line stor­age of infor­ma­tion and its impli­ca­tions as we struc­ture our infor­ma­tion and sites.
