Nerds of the world…

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Thanks to AFLCIOnow for a tip on a new US union blog. LaborNerd (no relation) is a nicely digested version of labor gossip & big stories, just right for transatlantic nerds – and finding its way straight onto my RSS reader.

Anyway – this video on union labels is worth the price of admission alone. How times change, and not just the hairdos…

And also good fun for labor nerds this week is Unionblogs.ca, from activist and Drupalster David Empey. He’s done a Canadian version of Tigmoo.co.uk, scanning Canadian union blogs and aggregating into a shared feed. It looks to have a good future – he’s put on 50% syndications in it’s first week. I guess we’ll need an international aggregator aggregator soon – nerds of the world unite – you have nothing to lose but your unwieldy URLs…

When unions should blog

Friday, December 19th, 2008

A fun seminar at the TUC the other week, on how unions might be able to use blogging to influence public policy debate. Great economic policy blog case studies and tips from Tom of Labour and Capital and Richard of Tax Research, and a side order of demagoguic simplification from Paul Never Trust a Hippy, who very thoughtfully wrote up some well-worth-a-peek notes to share around.

I got my own 5 min waffle in, and this is pretty much what I said. Blogging is a technology (basically the combination of 3 ideas: simple and freely available publishing, loose networks and conversation through comments and links, and simple republishing and syndication via RSS to help people follow a blog),  which lends itself very well to six scenarios that unions might well find themselves in.
