Today is a day that all Montrealers of a certain age will always remember; it is the 16th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, the deliberate killing of fourteen women at the École Polytechnique. So, at some point during the day, please take a moment and think about those victims and all victims of violence against women. This day has also become the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women.
Adaptive Path,
the user experience agency, has always been in the “Web 2.0” mix, and last week Brandon Schauer published an interesting article, “experience attributes: crucial dna of web 2.0“. It’s a pretty good piece, but I always wonder – what about the fact that there was a TON of very “Web 2.0” stuff going on well before anyone actually wanted to live South of Market St.? The WELL? Very Web 2.0. The original HotWired? Very 2.0. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Steadman owns Plastic, which is clearly a proto-2.0 space. For almost everyone who was involved – professionally or not – in the WWW back then knows that Web 2.0 is really simply things getting back on the course we set 12-15 years ago.
I wonder why everyone seems to ignore this?
The NDP website offering
for the election is less flashy than the others (no “get yer weblogs here” titles polluting the main site) but in fact it’s far better executed than either of other large parties’ sites. They don’t have a fake-casual blog per se, but if you look at their Get The Latest page you’ll note that it has a nice and subtle RSS feed associated. If you prefer either section within that you can get an RSS feed just of that as well.
Whoops!
The Conservative Party’s Campaign Blog is only marginally better, but they almost ruin it all by not actually identifying the blogger! Their podcasting offering is better, but the instructions are terrible and inaccurate.
I read about this somewhere
yesterday (can’t remember where) but it has to be seen to be believed. The Liberal Party of Canada has a section named “blogs” on their main website but it consists of the most amateurish, poorly-executed waste of space possible. It’s really hard to imagine that professional political consultants can stay in business without having learned a single lesson from the (at least) two Canadian Federal elections and three US Electoral cycles since the advent of Blogs as a useful form of political communication.
Oh hang on, there is something more poorly executed – the Liberals’ podcasting page looks even worse.
