I was updating my feeds today and decided I had better add the news/press/media release for a number of local vendors. I had not done this earlier as last I had looked most did not provide RSS feeds, I had hoped this situation had changed. Unfortunately I was wrong. Of the 12 vendors I check before writingContinue reading “Australian Vendors fail with RSS”

Welcome to 2010
2009 was a long year for many, it started out with all sorts of doom and gloom, then we have had some ups and downs but generally most people I speak with agree the year ended in a fairly good way. So on to 2010. First question is it Twenty Ten or Two Thousand and Ten?Continue reading “Welcome to 2010”
A history lesson of sorts
I got distracted today so I started digging through my old blog posts to have a look at some of the subjects I have covered in the last 5 years. Initially I was very much focused on blogs as a method of solving all of the world’s issues. Mainly because that was the main formContinue reading “A history lesson of sorts”
Talent Management Power Blog?
Yes it seems I have risen to the ranks of a power blog for the first time. Yep I appeared today on the Fistful of Talent/HR Capitalist’s 5th listing of the top 30 blogs on talent management. Previous listing have been judged by humans to determine if a blog was to be included. This timeContinue reading “Talent Management Power Blog?”
Is blogging over?
Two interesting things have happened in the last 3 days. I woke on Saturday morning to the news that Joel Cheesman, the Cheezhead site and from what I can tell brand had been purchased by Jobing. Part of this change is the blog will be no more. This news struck me as very strange, givenContinue reading “Is blogging over?”
A blog story 5 years on

Over the years I have written a lot about recruitment, but also technology, management, and HR. In summary over the last 1,825 days: I have typed out 1,313Continue reading “A blog story 5 years on”
Telstra’s social media policy
Yesterday Telstra was the first major Australian corporation to publicly release it’s social media policy. Called guardrails to help employees navigate the world of social media the policy is defined around three concepts, the 3 R’s; Representing, Responsibility, and Respect. After the last few weeks I think both employees, management and stakeholders at Telstra willContinue reading “Telstra’s social media policy”
Joining HR Tech Central
A few weeks ago I received an email from Tony Karrer from TechEmpower about a new blog consolidation service he is building called HR Tech Central. So what is HR Tech Central? The HR Tech Central community collects and organizes great information on human resources technology. I figured why not. So I have given permission to re-publishContinue reading “Joining HR Tech Central”
Jobr.com.au using comment spam?
Today I woke up to find some comments waiting for approval from a site jobr.com.au, a small job board here in Australia. The comments were typical of someone creating comment spam (such as nice site and 🙂 ) and on posts about a competing job board, all from the same IP address but with differentContinue reading “Jobr.com.au using comment spam?”
Relocation activities
Just a quick post to belatedly let you all know things will be a bit quiet for a few days while I move house. The process started about 4 days ago, and while most stuff has been completed I suspect blogging will be a bit light until next week. Anyway I am sure you allContinue reading “Relocation activities”
