Small things that annoy me, a lighthearted rant/
STOP IT WITH THE NOTIFICATIONS.
I do not want my day to be interrupted by a device chiming because you have a sale, your partners have a sale, your computers are feeling lonely because I haven't visited them today and would like some attention (looking at you, #Facebook), you have some new feature I will never use because it's annoying.
Every time I get a new phone, I spend a couple days disabling bunches of notifications. LEAVE ME ALONE!

Why do people keep doing pointless self harm – news aggregation
There are hundreds (over the last 20 years likely thousands) of news, aggregation sites. It’s a common #dotcons model to enclose the “commons” people see free content and think I can capture that. The problem is news content looks like it’s free, but that’s because it’s “free” to spread, but it’s VERY expensive in human (and thus money) to produce the content. This side is never addressed in these failed tech projects.
We currently have #traditionalmedia all round the world pushing to be […]

What is journalism in a dotcons community space?
Ten years ago, I posted photos of a police raid on a boat in Mile End Park to a local Facebook group. What followed was a storm of critique from fellow community members, particularly around privacy, ethics, and the nature of local news. That exchange came back through the memory algorithm on #failbook, it’s interesting because it sits at the heart of a question we keep coming back to. What is journalism, and where does it belong? The debate wasn’t just about a photo or a post. It was […]

One more step OMN
The OMN is an open network, so we call each of the sites “nodes” as they are small parts of the wider World Wide Web (WWW). Openworlds is the test node/site of the network, currently with links to 10 embeds on sites as an initial soft roll out. We are aiming to expand this out up to 100 sites over the summer for the hard launch.
If you have a website and want to play a part in this “soft roll out” go to openworlds
Step 1: If you are interested in only some subjects or groups, click on group tags (with @ in front) and/or subject tags. You can choose as many as you like and then only these will show up in your river embed. Then click the RSS link.
Step 2: Take the URL of the RSS feed, in the new window that opens. Go to your CMS/site/blog and install an RSS display/widget and add the RSS URL to it. You can use the formatting options to change the number of items and what info to display to make it look nice.
That’s it for now, your site is now a part of an open alt/grassroots media network. Playing a role in linking and cooperating to build a progressive worldview, empowering people to build a better world.
