It's amazing it's fantastic wherever there is rebel he'll be there
Submitted by rickeyre on
It's an unusual name but a great concept. RebelMouse launched recently and I have a cricket-specific page at rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.
RebelMouse can, and has, been described as a visual mix along the lines of Storify, Pinterest and Paper.li all thrown together. Still in beta, but looks very exciting at this stage, so please check out my contribution as, and if, it develops.
That address again: rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.

Rugby league in Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific on LinkedIn
Submitted by rickeyre on
It's not quite as ground-breaking as my creation of aus.sport.rugby-league seventeen years ago, but I've set up a discussion group for LinkedIn members interested in the NRL and Pertinent League Matters in the Australasia/South Pacific basin.
I launched "Rugby League in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific", to give its descriptive title, because I believe it fills a niche that hasn't been catered for on LinkedIn to date.
Updated position statement on Facebook
Submitted by rickeyre on
In short, Facebook has become, for me, a glorified RSS reader, and little else.
This updates my previous position statement on Facebook posted in June 2010. All the insidious tinkering since then by the House of Zuckerburg makes little difference to the fact that I regard a Facebook profile as a necessary evil to maintain a reluctant frontier.
Will Goog le plus take over its mantle? Don't be evil.

From Newsvine to Delicious
Submitted by rickeyre on
I have decided to deprecate the use of Newsvine as the clippings service on rickeyre.com from 1 July 2010. Any new clippings that I bookmark from that date will be held on delicious.
The reasons include delicious' greater flexibility, configurability, wider user base, and (important) the existence of an API. Delicious is owned these days by Yahoo!, while Newsvine is part the new-media extension of old-media behemoths NBC and the Washington Post.

Not much debate, not much Penrith
Submitted by rickeyre on
It looked good in theory, it was dreadful in practice. Actually, even in theory it was doomed to failure.

I'm staying with Facebook... barely

This is an addendum to the "position statement" I wrote about Facebook and other social media on May 7.

Returning slowly to normal, and hi to the twitterati while I'm at it
Submitted by rickeyre on
As you can see, my blog is back on the air, having completed eleven incremental upgrades to bring my Drupal installation up to date. I'm doing this while my fabulous hosting provider is doing a server reallocation. Some features on my blog (including a lot of the cricket stuff that can usually be seen at the bottom of the page) is disabled until I sort out a few performance issues.
