Scouta to Twitter: “G’Day World”

Given all the current Twitter madness and the fact they have a nice easy API, it was time to get Scouta talking to twitter.

And a couple of hours later it was done.

So, now, once in a while, currently hourly, Scouta picks a random newly-added fave media item and sends a link to twitter.

You can follow scouta on twitter to see the updates there.
And one of the first things it posted to twitter was a newly added podcast interview that Rich and I just did for Cameron Reilly’s G-Day World podcast.  As it should be :-)

Brightoncisco

Brightoncisco, has a just spontaneously materialized to discuss Brighton as a potential Silicon Valley:

Someone proposed that Brighton could be the ‘next Silicon Valley’. Someone else said it was more like another San Francisco. There is a lot of activity around startups and tech industries here. There are two universities and a lot of talent. But some things seem to be missing. Maybe it’s the VCs. Maybe it’s the networking. Maybe something else. Let’s work it out.

Time to go look at Richard Florida’s Creative Class and see if we can spot what is missing.

Sounds good to me. The Wed 10am Brighton OpenCoffee is a bit of a struggle for me right now, but I’ll get there one day. Perhaps we can do an evening or weekend event?
