Simon’s Blog (the official one)

Here is my presentation of the new version of ruralnet|online delivered at collaborate|2008 on 10/4/08. Sorry that the audio is a but stuttery . . . I need more practice. but anyway I think it is still helpful.

[Addendum: at one point I say we had 40,000 users. I should have said 4,000 users and this is the number on the slide.]

If the slide transitions don’t work automatically for you, you will have to advance them yourself. Or, you can go to slideshare and watch it there.

When we set up online systems for groups the specification usually includes ‘forums’. These are online places where people who share interests can gather to share and exchange ideas, information and knowledge. However, forums are rarely very active. The next generation of internet tools (aka Web 2.0) offer new ways of thinking about linking people who share interests. The screencast below gives an idea of the possibilities.

This is just an idea. We’d be really interested to hear what you think.
