excellent howto re combining twitter with other web 2.0 information resources, to create a feed/stream of really useful information in e.g. emergencies.
Return to this, to examine in detail & talk with our resident techies, about rehearsing with this – one would need to . -

More from Patricia Anderson (bless her), this time on twitter for health & healthcare. V handy presentation
-
amazing round-up (URLs galore) of twitter examples in the health domain, and a short summary of both potential benefits and limitations to be aware of.
-
some examples of large organisations using sns for business. Some use in-house versions of sns, others go direct to apps like FB. Some info on what people do with the apps, too
-
useful case examples – though they all seem to be private sector, so a wee bit more transposition needed to public sector context. Should be doable though!
-
The scale of British water consumption and its impact around the world is revealed in a new (WWF) report today, which warns of the hidden levels needed to produce food and clothing.

Thanks to PF Anderson (Patricia of MWM-L?) for a really excellent starter-4-10 overview of open-source or mashup-based support for disaster/emergency response. Emphasis is on maps & mapping, but that’s fair enough given the importance of the geographic element in most public disasters (wind direction, waether patterns etc.)
But NB. the very nice barefoot mock-up at http://imrscommunity.typepad.com/ealing_instant_community_/ for things like ‘local chemist info’ and ‘find someone/tell them you’re OK’ bits.

A collection of examples surfaced by a simple Google search – I wanted to be able to refer to some pre-existing examples, to show people what might be acheived by using a wiki for ISD’s ‘Green Group’

“As the Government becomes the biggest user of ICT in the UK – spending around £12 billion a year – Government IT Goes Green will take a comprehensive look at the challenges and opportunities for public sector organisations looking to take a more responsible approach to the environment.”

An interesting-looking idea, a sort of cyber version of the well-known medical case presentation & review? Wonder what our Information Governance folk would make of it, though the site suggests that no ‘patient data’ is necessarily involved. How does the clinician go about anonymising what they contribute then?

“An independent review into the use of online technologies to enhance engagement between central government and the public” Undertaken by the Hansard Society’s eDemocracy project. Includes a number of case studies. Surely, lessons here for the rest of the public sector too, and material relevant for posible toolkit.

“This audit is designed so you can find out how green your office is. It includes basic information on identifying environmental impacts and finding solutions. The majority of the questions will apply to all offices.
It should enable you to gather some basic information about your office, take action and track your progress.”

Excellent canter through the main current literature on climate change. Also includes brief recommendations from some of the stars, on what inspired them.
Could be seriously depressing, but strikes a hopeful note when outlining the potential of 'pyrolysis' for carbon capture.
-
useful graph of 'engagement continuum' – handy, it's licenced for potential re-use
-
The State Services Commission has developed a Guide to Online Participation for the New Zealand State Services with important input from the Participation community of practice and international validation.
This site is about getting input as the group tests and refines the guide and update resources. You can also share ideas and knowledge with the Community of Practice.
Invitation needed -
The Guide to Online Participation will help State servants identify and develop exciting and innovative ways to engage with New Zealanders in policy and service design and delivery.

great set of images from Beth Kanter, collated from various social media reseearch & commentary that she's seen over the last while
-
early days for a go at a generic toolkit for the use of web 2.0 and social media tools (in public sector organisations?)
-
wiki-based toolkit site with some useful lists of things like tools & methods. Also a note of their experience & things other people should think about, in their project journal
