In Sydney Thurs eve, fed up of late night shopping? Hopefully you will come along and argue the case for the web is not a creative space? Or perhaps that there is something more fundamental happening?
DebateIT: All the web’s a stage!
Join us as we debate whether the internet is helping unleash creativity. What opportunities are [...]
Twice this week I’ve stumbled across interfaces which I’ve found irresistible and blog-worthy. The first is PicLens (not brand new this week - but certainly within living memory ie: several months). The second is the Zoomii interface for browsing Amazon books.
PicLens is a Firefox 3.0 plugin which allows you to navigate through sites such as [...]
An interesting insight on news.com.au featuring Laurel Papworth (social network strategist and occasional LAMP presenter) doing some detective work on what your profile on Facebook or MySpace really reveals about you. The article “Facebook, MySpace reveals hidden messages‘ and video embedded below includes Laurel suggesting profile update status is now the new way (SMS being [...]
from news.com.au:
An American mother has been indicted in connection with a MySpace hoax that ended with a 13-year-old girl committing suicide after being spurned by a fictitious boy.
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles indicted Lori Drew, 49, on criminal charges of conspiracy and accessing MySpace computers “without authorisation to inflict emotional distress on the [...]
MySpace UK has just announced a deal with the Lonelygirl15 team to make a 60-part webisode series called I Love Chieftown. This comes hot on the heels of a deal with Bebo to create the Kate Modern series and, in the style of LG15, will be highly interactive and designed to exist within the ecology [...]

Also featuring Aussie K (who has 102 000 MySpace Friends) they both talk with David and Kim [...]
An interesting insight into the most popular social networkers.
Went to a MySpace developers pre-launch party last night and had nice chats with the Australia MySpace crew and visiting US developer leads (see previous post) who are here to catalyse some really cool ‘widgets’ and apps for a still pretty dominant global Social Network. One thing [...]
There is talk that the features of social networking will gradually absorb into everything we do online or possibly be accessed through bespoke personal portals. This means that future social networking may not be destination dependent and we won’t need to log in to a branded url to connect. Can Facebook, MySpace and Bebo sustain [...]
Online Issues The internet as a creative workspace for artists. Protecting copyright and avoiding liability in respect of user generated content. What are your rights in respect of podcasts, vodcasts and blogs. Legal issues around youtube, myspace, and Facebook. Selling and publishing your work in the online environment – the benefits and pitfalls. Delwyn Everard Arts [...]
A colleague just returned from holidays in Canada and told me the only Australian news he’d seen or heard in the month he was away was party boy Corey Delaney. Interesting how putting out a party invite on MySpace can lead to a viral media spike more significant than major flooding in Queensland, the announcements [...]
We all know Facebook has slowly been eroding MySpace’s dominance of the Social Netosphere (new word?) - mainly in our view, because it had opened its doors to developers early on.
