Colin McKay, a Canadian Government communicator and blogger and social media pioneer extraordinaire, has written The Secret Underground Guide to Social Media for Organisations. It is not a technical guide. More a cultural, managerial guide to avoid the roadblocks set by IT and legal departments. Colin has blogged about it himself.
At 23 pages it is a quick and enjoyable read.

Norfolk’s leading regional paper has picked up on the Cllr2.0 project. It tells us that we are creating “grassroots democracy at the click of a button”. A touch of hyperbole aside the article lets our councillors say why they are taking part and lists their blogs.

But you’ve got to question the paper’s internet strategy when a story like this isn’t on their website.
