Can’t or form different types of relationships? Always nice to see some Gen Y bashing (not) (via Steve Nimmons)

Emma’s coverage on the session Mitch and I ran at 2gether08

“Tell us what you’d build with public information and we could help fund your idea!”. Great work from the Cabinet Office pushing for innovation and openness in the use of public data.

Sound enough aspirations but a strange exercise in stating the obvious at a random point in time. Conclusion: unnecessary and pointless.

The debate I took part in at RSA. Worth a listen for a laugh if nothing else! (am first speaker up a couple of minutes in)

A desktop app for FriendFeed.com that also allows you to post to Twitter and Flickr from your desktop.

Interactive business planning software for start ups and other businesses. Worth a look (via Delineator)

So that’ll be me then.

One to try methinks.

“Create & Share Presentations Online” pretty darn good ones too.

A social take on government recruitment.

Sustainable design mixed with technology and social innovation to drive behaviour change (particularly around sustainability issues currently). Like their style.

Good work e.on (via e.on_paul)

HUGE online network for new (and not so new) mums and dads on the joys of parenting.

“The Virtual Policy Network is a global, not-for profit organisation…in Europe, North America and soon Asia [to] stimulate dialogue through research projects, events, publications…encouraging local debate [and] on-going global conversation”

Genius quote. Genius (via Carrie Bishop)

Conversation cafes for the residents of Redbridge. Great work!

Little movement in this direction so far it seems (or at least in a meaningful way) (via Carrie Bishop)

Medical equipment needs to look nicer (via Alberto Nardelli)

Ooh I like this. Makes animated presentations/videos based on your pics and music. Nice (via Carrie Bishop)

What do people know anyway? Everything it seems… (via Carrie Bishop)

Matthew Taylor on the Conservative’s current thinking (and gaps in that thinking) on community empowerment and pro-social behaviour

Planning for the big youth online event in September (and probably the most stylish and effective use of Ning I’ve seen)

Seriously. What a missed opportunity. Instead of a simple yes/no vote, the Ministry of Justice require you to write at least a 5000 word response to a 47 page consultation document! Transformational government my arse.

A trend to track (via Adriana Lukas)

Good find from Carrie Bishop

Ideas gathering tool from Delib for DCSF. Like their style (via Nico MacDonald)

Chris Heilmann on his vision for hacking for accessibility. Will be supporting however I can - very worthwhile project.

“Changes happen mostly without us”. Coping with complexity as the way forward. Well worth checking the whole series.

“Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide”. Sad as it is this is my kind of toy!

£80m being made available via the North West Development Agency. TIme to relocate?!

“Creativity is no longer about which companies have most visionary executives, but who has most compelling ‘architecture of participation’” (via Richard Dennison)

Interesting stuff. Be interested to see the stats for participants. If this won’t get people on there nothing will (via Carrie Bishop)

Build apps for all sorts.

Nice idea, although looks like a fair amount of spin to me. Much of the innovation is business as usual stuff and definitely most imposed top down. Although some would say this is what differentiates between innovation and more disruptive creativity.

Spot on. And that time appears to be now (via Justin Kerr-Stevens)

Another great one, this time a presentation on how to be all gen y at work - and make it work for you (via Justin Kerr-Stevens)
