Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Looks as if those in authority are starting to take the “wisdom of crowds” seriously — including putting money on the table.
Google has just announced a Project 10^100, to solicit ideas that can have a dramatic impact on life. “These ideas can be big or small, technology-driven or brilliantly simple — but they need to […]
Urgent: demand real-time data feeds as part of bank bill
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008This is urgent, because of the scope and speed of the banking bailout legislation. I urge you to act on it asap.
I just blogged on the Huffington Post (a shorter version appeared here last week: I pulled it and submitted to Huffington because of its greater reach and clout) that there’s a methodology that […]
Ike’s lessons: is alternative to single evacuation path no possible?
Friday, September 12th, 2008I’m just speculating on this, but it does seem to me — as I blogged during Rita (when there were considerably fewer GPS’s on the road) — that it ought to be at least technologically possible today to not order everyone in Houston to evacuate via I-10.
Instead, since we can precisely identify where a car […]

Thursday, September 4th, 2008Hi. If you’re intrigued/perplexed/excited by what I’ve posted in the past about data syndication and visualization tools, I hope that you will be able to join us next Tuesday morning at the National Press Club for an informative and stimulating seminar on the topic of the strategic use of organizational data feeds such as RSS […]
Gustavfeed & Gustav Info Center: great examples of my tips in action!
Monday, September 1st, 2008There’s a great new Twitter feed today, Gustavfeed, done by social media strategist Joe Solomon,
It is sampling Twitter-related posts from sites including:
Utterz
Twitter
blip.tv
YouTube
Technorati
Vimeo
Hmm. Don’t see anything from Qik — are you monitoring them, Joe?
IMHO, if you are a first responder or if you’re directly affected and you need to get first-hand situational awareness, you […]
(un) Ready.gov: they still don’t get it
Sunday, August 31st, 2008PARDON ME FOR SHOUTING, BUT I’VE BEEN ON (UN) READY.GOV’S CASE SINCE THEY WERE CREATED ABOUT THEIR FAILURE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CREATIVE USE OF CELL PHONES AND OTHER MOBILE, PERSONAL, NETWORKED COMMUNICATION DEVICES PLUS WEB 2.0 APPS — ESPECIALLY ONES SUCH AS TWITTER THAT FACILITATE MOBILE SOCIAL NETWORKS.
HOWEVER, I JUST CHECKED THEIR HURRICANE PAGE, […]
Gustav: my emergency tips can save lives
Friday, August 29th, 2008BTW: Since today is the 3rd anniversary of Katrina, and the Bush Administration totally dropped the ball not only during Katrina but also afterwards, I hope you’ll follow the Unitarian-Universalist Service Committee’s lead, take the Hurricane Katrina Third Anniversary Quiz to test how much you know about what happened (and hasn’t!) and, Ask your U.S. […]

Join me for LIVE Interviews Online at 3 EDT!
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Hi!
At 3 EDT today, I’ll be Dave Witzel’s guest on “LIVE Interviews Online,” answering questions from Dave and YOU on how I got involved in the public data and data visualization movement, who’s doing it right, and what the future is (I’ll be easy to spot: I’m wearing the rose-tinted glasses on this issue!).
We already […]
Show Us a Better Way: convinced it’s a turning point in public data
Monday, August 4th, 2008The old PR guy in me rears it’s ugly head!
Once in a blue moon a promotion comes along that really seizes the public’s attention, and, if there’s some substance, can really change the way we live (no, I’m not talkin’ “Real Coke” here).
I’m convinced that’s the case with the UK’s Show Us a Better Way […]
