Just read an email from Peter Black from Queensland University of Technology that they have had to postpone the Australian Blogging conference that was to take place this year. Unfortunately due to a last minute and unexpected problem with sponsorship, QUT has decided to postpone the Australian Blogging Conference until later in the year. WeContinue reading “Australian Blogging Conference postponed”

Interesting blog statistics (well to me at least)
Having a very slow day, we had a bit of a late night, so I thought I would review some statistics on my blog for the last year. Total posts 234, down from 310 last year. The most commented on post How not to recruit Jeremy Zawodny, or anyone else for that matter, 20 comments,Continue reading “Interesting blog statistics (well to me at least)”
My link blog
Over the last couple of weeks I have been using Google Readers share function as a bit of a link blog. If you want to see what is interesting me in my feeds you can come along for the ride either via a browser or feed.
Voting in the Recruiting.com Awards
I have been ignoring the HR blogosphere for the last couple of months, partially by accident and partially on purpose. In the last couple of days I noticed that the 2006 Best Recruiting Blog awards are on, strangely enough I am not nominated this year but I think I know why :-). Anyway enough aboutContinue reading “Voting in the Recruiting.com Awards”
Share the love!
Another Google Reader post. I have been testing out the Shared Items feature of Google reader. It kind of looks like it could double as a Link Blog. I have been meaning to create a separate link blog but just never got around to it. My posting to del.icio.us kind of does it, but IContinue reading “Share the love!”
Google Reader and the bad blogger

Why cause I control how the application works not the other way around. IContinue reading “Google Reader and the bad blogger”

Not sure how long they will remain there, probably til I get bored with them :-). First up is the “Meebo Me” widget which allows blog readers to ping me directlyContinue reading “New widgets on my blog”
Tom Reynolds unemployed corporate blogger
Last Friday Tom Reynolds was let go from Telstra, which by itself is not a big issue, people get let go everyday. Where this little story gets a little interesting is Tom is a blogger, and not just a personal blogger but a corporate blogger on Telstra’s site called Now We Are Talking. Ok could beContinue reading “Tom Reynolds unemployed corporate blogger”
Are we in an echo chamber?
An issue facing the tech blogosphere is that many people both internal and external to it claim that the blogosphere is just an echo chamber and nothing new comes out. From my limited view point I do not think that the HR blogosphere is an echo chamber, sometimes I feel that we need to linkContinue reading “Are we in an echo chamber?”
Viewing blogs on mobile devices
There has been a bit of talk recently about viewing blogs on mobile devices. Dave Winer has even built a tool to help out. Personally I don’t tend to use a mobile device to view anything, the costs are just too prohibitive here in Australia. However I do think the idea is very cool andContinue reading “Viewing blogs on mobile devices”
