		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking today about why trade unions don&#8217;t make a bigger deal of Open Source software &#8211; not just to use themselves more often, but as a model for the businesses their members work in. We like co-ops well enough, for example, or social enterprises.
I guess there could be an element in some quarters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People sometimes ask me “John, why should trades unions get involved with Twitter?” No, honest, they really do, my life is *that* exciting at times…
My standard response is that it all depends. The microblogging service Twitter is potentially attractive to unions as it&#8217;s something of a liberal and Labour ghetto, and it gets a lot [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t think I ever got an assignment in on time, and really found it a struggle to get much information out of libraries or lectures and into my head. Of course, since leaving uni for the world of work, I&#8217;ve found a big sop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve seen a whole bunch more union related blogs over the last year, at all levels of the movement (check out the lists at TIGMOO.co.uk for many of them). But one thing I&#8217;ve noticed has impressed me in particular, and that&#8217;s the first attempts at cleverly using other people&#8217;s blogs to talk to members. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another day, another aggregator. I&#8217;m getting quite into union aggregator sites of late, and think there could be something in this cheap and cheerful technology that could really be powerful for unions.
The latest experiment is Union Newswire. It collates and republishes links to union press releases from 19 UK organisations. The idea is to make [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re involved in trade unions, you&#8217;re likely hearing a new buzzword right now: &#8220;Just Transition&#8221;. My guess is that if you&#8217;re like me, the frequent repetition of this neologism doesn&#8217;t help clarify anything whatsoever, but it&#8217;s worth sticking with, as it&#8217;s an interesting concept, and one where unions may really be able to make [...]]]></description>

And, inspired by the IBEW social media organising vid, I thought I&#8217;d try out Prezi.com&#8217;s shiny new beta embed feature to show a presentation on the same lines that I did for UNI Global Union a few months ago.
BTW, I think Prezi has some good potential for union organisers too &#8211; a fair sight more [...]]]></description>

If you saw last year&#8217;s, you&#8217;ll know what to expect from it.
