He promised us there would be lolcats, and he didn’t disappoint.
Stuart Harrison, Webmaster and Lead Developer at Lichfield District Council gave us all the inside track on his creation of TwitterPlan, one of the most noteworthy and innovative local government mash-ups to date. For the uninitiated TwitterPlan, launched earlier this year, gives out planning application alerts via Twitter covering an astonishing 300-plus councils and counting, making it definitely one to watch.
The session notes blogged by Sarah Lay make a great companion to Stuart’s slides, which you can view below to get an overview of the project.
Mashups and More: Mike Saunt’s presentation
July 9, 2009 by Ian Cuddy · 1 Comment
Mike Saunt from Astun Technology, our second speaker in the mid-morning session, covered the Web 2.0 areas of Social, Technology and Mashups, looking at how and why the Government’s view of information has changed from that of ‘owners’ to ‘custodians’. Though social media is rapidly changing the way the public sector communicate with citizens, he underlined the need not to overlook more traditional forms of communication: “Cool technologies shouldn’t be the only form of access.” A highlight of his presentation was a live mash-up demo’ing the bringing together of planning alerts and Google Maps, giving a glimpse of the potential of Web 2.0 technologies and approaches.
