Social Media Draft For Government Organizations To Be Completed By The End
2011-09-29 09:17:00 The Department of IT (DIT) has been busy with the task of preparing a social media strategy for all Government organizations. This project has been brewing for quite some time. Vineeta Dixit, Ministry of Communications and IT, has affirmed that the policy will be ready by the end of 2011. Since Indian Administrative services and organizations are huge in terms of their reach and capacity, implementation of the policy will be a challenge. Currently, the DIT is busy aggregating feedback and holding meetings with people from all branches of Government including Ministries, State departments, Citizens, Legal experts, developers and so on. This is an important step as ‘Openness’ is a key aspect of Social Media. Dixit elaborates further on the uses of Social Media for Government organization, “Social Media can be leveraged by the government for various purposes including seeking feedback from citizens on policies—whether existing or proposed—re-pronouncement of public policy,...

We Should All Support Atheist Organizations
2010-10-21 12:17:00 Blair Scott (American Atheists) recently posted an excellent reminder of why it is so important for atheists to join at least one of the fine atheist organizations that works to protect church state separation and advance atheist civil rights. He described the refusal of a city council in King County, NC to remove a Christian flag from a veteran's memorial. It did not bother the council one bit that displaying this flag was unconstitutional. It was only when they realized that it would cost them $300,000 to fight it in court that they backed down. As Blair said, it is a shame that we do not have any sort of Constitution police to enforce the provisions of a document about which we all claim to care so deeply. And this is precisely why we should all support at least one atheist organization of our choice - this has become the role they serve. The real story here is not that evil atheists are changing things for the worse in North Carolina but that American Christians sometimes act...

Here 10 years as Web Producer for the Women's Sports Foundation led into her current position as Director of Communications at Women Win. During the Beyond Sport Pre-Summit Conference, she was tasked with with leading discussion about sports organizations' use of digital media. According to Murray, sports development organizations should not view digital media as just starting a website, blog, facebook page and twitter profile. Instead, she says, sports organizations should be looking to technology to solve problems. Women Win, an organization whose mission is to empower women and girls through sport, recently encountered a major problem: How does the organization collect and disseminate the best knowledge in...

Bill Gates - The End of an Era
2008-06-29 15:05:00 We have already covered about the legacy of Bill Gates here but I just thought I should add something about the man who I idolized for the larger part of my not so long life. So here?s is to the man who changed the way I interact with computers! For many, Bill Gates and his company Microsoft would more be remembered for the evil-doings and monopolization which led to their domination on desktop PCs but for me Bill Gates is a business man in a true sense of word. He truly knew the art of doing business. He broadened the company?s range of products, and then pushed it so aggressively that it led to the the domination and success of his products. Bill Gates predicted ?a computer in every home and on every desk??.and today its indeed in every home & on every desk and over 90% of those run Windows. So for me Gates will be remembered as one of the best-known business men and one of the best entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. And Now June 27, 2008 marks the End of an...

Toyota will give $5m and 23 vehicles to National Park support organizations
2008-04-29 00:44:00 At the end of March, when Toyota announced they would give $20m to the National Audubon Society, there was a bit of an uproar. Turns out, Toyota customers were not happy with the works that Audubon was doing to close down certain nature areas to visitors. The PR trouble isn't stopping Toyota from continuing to give money to groups that are looking after the land. Toyota announced today that it will donate a total of $5m and 23 vehicles to various U.S. National Parks. The donations will be used "to enhance environmental leadership and educational programs at parks around the country," according to Toyota's release (read it in full after the jump). The national parks at the Everglades, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and the Great Smoky Mountains will all see some of the money and were selected based on their work in teaching about the environment, particularly to students and teachers, and to people in inner-city and Native American communities.

Gates talks Google, Vista and (maybe) Yahoo
2008-04-25 23:15:00 Microsoft Corp.'s unsolicited bid to acquire Yahoo Inc. is still up in the air, but maybe it's inevitable in the eyes of Bill Gates. During an appearance Friday afternoon at the University of Washington, the Microsoft chairman at one point referred to his company as if it were second in Internet search. In reality, Microsoft is in third place in search market share -- although it would move into second place, still well behind Google, if it's able to bring Yahoo into its fold. "Often if you're No. 2 -- and in this case, a distant No. 2 -- you can try harder, so to speak, and try out new things that are quite different," Gates said when discussing Microsoft's technological ambitions in Internet search. Whether it was a slip or a sign of Microsoft's determination to finish the deal, the comment was the closest Gates came to even alluding to the acquisition drama. But he touched on many other topics during the event ? which felt like a combination homecoming and farewel...
