Nice to see you.

The State of the Internet

03.08.10 Posted in Web by Rosie Sherry

These types of videos (showing lots of web and social media stats) pop up every few months.  Nice to watch occasionally.  (Though does get a bit repetitive once you’ve seen a couple).

The Impossible Hampster

03.04.10 Posted in Transition by Rosie Sherry

I love what the nec (new economics foundation) produces.  Right up my street.

I forgot to blog about The Software Testing Club Magazine

02.19.10 Posted in Software Testing by Rosie Sherry

In the rush to get The Software Testing Club magazine live, I realised I neglected to blog about it.
If you haven’t seen it, check it out.

I have no friends

02.12.10 Posted in Me, Social, Web by Rosie Sherry

Well, I do really have some.
But if you would like to learn tips and tricks on how to connect with people on the internet (some people call it social media) then maybe you can come to a wee workshop I’ve conveniently called – I have no friends.


Reluctance to take community seriously

01.17.10 Posted in Community by Rosie Sherry

There’s a great post about the reluctance of people to take community seriously.  Also a response to it too.
Both worth a read if you’re into ‘community’.


Crowdsourcing for government

01.07.10 Posted in Community by Rosie Sherry

I can’t help but look at the government and feel completely dissatisfied.
There really could be a better way.
As an example, imagine if:
Each street in every town and city had a representative.  A community person. Someone who ensured everything in the street was ok. Someone who would act and report things on behalf of the street. [...]
