A lot of the sites I’ve worked on have been built under IT policies which means that they are built on the company hardware and often under restrictive software policies (decent .Net blogging software is there but it’s not quite as easy to flex as other kinds ;-) )

Tom pointed me towards a new contest by Toshiba which is an interesting combination of UGC, voting and hustling and debate.

I’ve been following the arguments surrounding Stowe Boyd’s posts about the death (or not) of the Press Release. There’s a whole bunch of stuff, links and commentary in those few posts that are well worth taking the time to read and consider.
