Brogan says it’s ok to do these so, ok, here’s the best of my posts about London Ontario so far. I noticed when I started putting them together they sort of make a case… but you’ll have to create your own adventure!
First, some background criticism on our mostly unconnected city:
- Should London Exist?
- Ontario in the Creative Age: First Thoughts [added]
- The Hub Dream That is London
- London, Ontario: The Future Innovator of Non-Bullshit Politics?
- Uncovering London Ontario’s Economy
Meanwhile we’ve got a great, burgeoning social media community:
- London’s Social Media Mafia: Behind the Silicon Curtain
- PodCamp London: The Day After
- Scene Not Heard
- London’s Social Media Momentum
Some positive suggestions pertaining to the city in general:
- How London Can Actually Lead
- Creating London’s Competitive Advantage
- Social Capital and Innovation in London, Festival Edition
- Leapfrog-Progress
- An Economy for Living
And some explanations why I think promoting social/digital media is the most effective way to make London a remarkable city:
- London Media: Time for a Homegrown Focus (+ video!)
- Citizen Journalism for London
- Long Tails of London & Social Media Yin & Yang
- London Needs an Information Hub
- A Bold, Ambiguous Vision (longer pdf)
I’m condensing all of these into one narrative, one argument that I’ll cover Nov 5 at the Central Library talk.
