It isn't good enough for innovation and growth now, let alone in another four years time. If Gordon Brown says 'everyone must invest in digital future' then let him make a start by making BT replace the obsolete copper infrastructure with fibre. Its cheap, easy and available. The tradesmen currently drawing dole could draw fibre through ducts and build a next generation network to bring pride and glory back to UKplc. Everyone needs to be aware that if we don't do this we are soon gonna be out of the race big time. The USO of 2 meg for every home in 2012 is pathetic.

I took a while to see the value of Twitter. Staring at www.twitter.com really doesn't show its potential. But I believe it can be a valuable tool for UK charities, and is certainly worth spending some time investigating. I've covered developments in how Twitter is being used as a fundraising tool at http://www.fundraising.co.uk/taxonomy/term/2513 since last year. And (commercial advert here), I've just announced what I believe is the UK's first training course for charities/vol orgs on using Twitter as a fundraising tool: http://fundraisingwithtwitter.eventbrite.com It's early days, and you might not want to go to a Twestival itself, but Twitter is a valuable tool for some charities keen to engage with a wider public.
