  1. @davebriggs Did #ukgc10 really just sell out in 3 hours?
  2. Q: what, if anything, has UK govt use of new channels / tools - commentable docs, Twitter, etc - *actually* changed so far? (May quote you.)
  3. @harrym Got any usefully quotable facts/stats re the Digital Britain consultation which got ignored?
  4. @frabcus @dracos Any idea of current % of FOI requests done through WDTK? Was 8.5% in Q1, guess it increased? http://bit.ly/8cuki9
  5. Having trouble sourcing an annual budget figure for BusinessLink.gov.uk. Can anyone help?
  6. Directgov spent £7.48 million on 'advertising, PR, publicity and marketing' last year; budget for this year is £3.25m. http://bit.ly/7RZrRH
  7. Just a thought. All these deliverables for April 2010. How does that sit with pre-election purdah, assuming May date? #smartergov
  8. 'By 2011: Publish all comparative data on www.data.gov.uk and ensure it is *sufficiently consistent* to enable cost comparisons': good luck!
  9. 'Our public data principles state that.. Data underlying the Government's own websites will be published in reusable form for others to use'
  10. Data.gov.uk to go live January 2010. #smartergov http://bit.ly/8AZI9t
  11. 'Consulting on making Ordnance Survey mapping & postcode datasets available for free reuse from April 2010' #smartergov http://bit.ly/8AZI9t
  12. @shanerichmond Ant is the one who always stands on the left (as you look at them).
  13. I don't wish to be pedantic, but I don't think http://www.hmg.gov.uk can really claim to be 'the digital home of the UK government'.
  14. RT @wordcampuk: The next #wordcampuk will be held 17-18 July 2010 at http://www.business.mmu.ac.uk/
  15. Whatever happened to the winning projects from Show Us A Better Way? @dirdigeng
  16. Not sure about Waitrose mince pie icecream. Tastes as it should, maybe a bit too bitter, but certainly worth a try. 10/10 for innovation.
  17. Shut your mouth and pull out the balls!
  18. Bloody hell Fifa, can you not just pick balls out of a bag? I've got a local Christmas lights turning-on thing to go to.
  19. @sherls You guys are engaged? Did I miss that announcement? Congrats. But get your priorities right.
  20. I appear to be the only person who thinks Gavin and Stacey is no longer funny. Smiled occasionally, but didn't laugh once.
