Areeba put together an Aggregated blog for Open Text a few weeks ago that is now up and live, really worth a look as if you are interested in what is going on in the Enterprise 2.0 space there is some great thinking going on here.

And it is a pretty awesome site too, if I don’t say so myself!

Yes, I am proud of it too

The Open Text Conversations aggregated blog

We do a lot of work for Open Text (and for RedDot, Artesia and some of the other Open Text companies).

We’ve been working with them for probably about two years now and have taken on a lot of their Strategy work and the higher level thinking on what they are doing and their overall strategic framework.

Latest on the list for us is the Thought Leadership Aggregated Blog, which we are very proud of. This site is aggregating blogs from a whole selection of Open Text staff and leaders in particular areas plus providing a set of other features around the blog itself.

This is the first step in a larger program of work that we’re in the midst of now, looking forward to the next bits of this over the next month or so.

Areeba has been working heavily with the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre’s Institute of Training over the past six weeks or so and we’ve created a new Brand for the Institute as well as a new website. The website is now live and we’re getting some really good response to both the new Brand and the new design.

Love it (I’m allowed to say that!)!

So I read this one yoday – worth having a look at and of course I got to this via someone posting it on Twitter – how ironic! This is off the back of one of the Project Managers at work removing Col and I because we both Tweet too much and we both have Twitter and Facebook hooked up!

Perhaps I digress…

The ‘Buying Friends’ piece of this really got me – suddenly ideas of going out and cybersquatting on all the permutations of Nike, Adidas and General Motors (well, maybe not GM, they’re only one step above AIG at the moment and we al know they’re stinky, so not worth much on the cybersquatting scale.

I remember a few years ago (picture me sitting on a porch in a rocking chair, add the shotgun if you like) when cybersquatting was all in vogue – I bloody missed out then because of ethics and morals. This time I’m ready, Twitter, here I come – I’ve got this year’s Brand survey and I plan on using it!

Take a look at this – very cool Barbie brand campaign…way to celebrate in style!
