Victoria has possibly the best egovernment site in Australia at the eGovernment Resource Centre. I use it regularly to monitor egovernment news and research online tools and trends. I have also found their eGovRC Toolbar useful as a fast and simple way to access information and news from their site. The toolbar works in either…
Without staff most organisations would cease to function. Without communicating to staff what they need to know, organisations cannot function effectively. That’s one of the reasons why staff communications tools – including intranets – are very important. However communicating with staff is generally not as exciting as making big budget television commercials, as this very…
A List Apart is conducting a survey on the work situations of those working in the web space – from developers and web designers, through to content managers and online publishers. Last year the survey (held for the first time) had 33,000 respondents, roughly 1,700 from Australia. This year is expected to be much bigger….

It’s a great measure for the advertising industry as it’s relatively easy to quantify and track over time and simple to value….
How do you rate your agency in the online world? I currently use a lot of different tools to build a picture of how our agency is doing, but I have not yet unified these into a simple set of metrics that tells me how we’re doing. Tools I use to rate my agency online…
New Zealand is a beautiful place to visit and I have fond memories of my last trip there. It also happens to be one of the most happening places in eGovernment, at least in this part of the world. In fact I feel a little disappointed in Australia’s progress at the national level compared to…
