Gahmen Bloggers Meetup (GBM)

[ Update: 9 of us so far! I’ll send everyone an email this week. In the meantime, read about what my co-organiser RamblingLibrarian has to say about the meetup. ]
A few of us were thinking of setting up blogs in our organisations. Then we thought, why not have an informal Gahmen Bloggers Meetup?
There are no hard and fast rules, apart from the fact that you should be a civil or public servant, listed in the SGDI. Also, if someone shares some info with the rest of us, but asks to keep it confidential, do respect that. No recording or surveillance devices will be used; no Minutes will be taken (yay!). However, in line with official policy, bar top dancing is permitted.
You don’t have to be a blogger, but should be interested in exploring blogging as a new medium. Those who have already started blogs can share their experiences with the rest of us.
Those interested can email me via the usual form. Please include your Gahmen email address so I can add you to the ‘Lotus Notes’ mailing list. We might hold the first meeting in November. [Update: I have disabled this feature in the form.]

I’m not exactly earning big bucks myself, but I guess…

  • Nothing to hide

    Recently I was updating different groups of seniors (including an elderly relative) on how information can be easily found on the Internet, say, about myself. In fact, someone did discover my online profile prior to meeting me, and I was recounting how impressed I was at this resourcefulness. However, that provoked a very different reaction…

    I am honoured to be speaking as a panelist at [Ogilvy’s Verge digital summit](http://www.the-open-room.com/verge-the-ogilvy-digital-summit/) in Singapore today at CHIJMES. It will be quite exciting. [As with Yuhui](http://www.the-open-room.com/verge-the-ogilvy-digital-summit/#comment-8), I’d really like to see representatives from the three Internet giants – Microsoft, Google and Yahoo! – all in one panel.

    That’s right – Too Much Information = No Time. A few of us Social Media folks were recently discussing how we’re past the phase where we read lots of news feeds. With easy-aggregation tools like Google Reader, there’s a tendency to oversubscribe to too many news websites and blogs. We end up skimming or not…
