Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
'Storify' of HoL's live tweets of new style area assembly
I know with complete certainty that no one was was out drinking last night. No one was relaxing with their family or out having a meal with some friends, not even just chilling in front of the TV.
How do I know this?
Well I'm just certain sure that you were all glued to my live tweeting of the new area forum.
But just in case on some flukish offchance someone missed it, I've made the tweets, (including pictures and sound files) into a Storify stream.
To read it, click here and give it a couple of seconds to load up.
Below is a clip of what you'll see:

Can I ask a slightly off-topic geeky question? How did you find Storify to use - easy,fun,frustrating? I tried to use it in my job to see if we could create some fun content with it but it told me our browser (IE8) wasn't good enough so I didn't get a chance to play with it.
EDIT: oh, and I think the iPhone mishaps add to proceedings! More dog pop, less dog poo, I say.

I think it was probably the browser then. It was pretty much child's play.

Hi Hugh
1. Did you get permission to do this Hugh
2. Did you (representing HOL) or the chair of the meeting inform everyone that you were doing this
3. I cant access this and can imagine many other people cant eitherThere is no information here to tell us what happened at the meeting
nothing actually on the site here to read
ie agenda - issues - actions ?
Do I have be a facebooker or tweeter to veiw any of this ?

Andy raises some interesting questions in terms of how we adjust or extend the etiquette we are used to using in one medium -in this case a public meeting -to a new medium, in this case twitter.
So I am going to respond in the spirit of seeking to start a debate.
I will format my response as separate replies to make it easier for people to pick up bits of the issue that interest them.

Permission?
But it is a public meeting, and tweets only represent the point of view of the tweeter anyway, so why would permission be sought?
And who would permission be granted by anyway?

Informing people? Again why? Except of course one might wish people to know, so that they could look at what you have done.

Access.
Always an initial issue with a new technology but one which tends to go away with time.
But then a public meeting is a "social medium" itself and access to that restricted to those who both knew about it and were able to get there -to be in that place at that time.

Agenda issues actions?
Are they not official council actions?
perhaps a link to the council web site is relevant?

(the point I am really making by this is that HOL is not in any sense official. And has never claimed to be. It IS a new kind of thing. a mixture of a permanent, online, "virtual" public meeting, and a news source driven by "citizen journalism". It is also evolving.
Hugh has started something. He probably guessed what it would be when it started.
But I would bet its not quite what he expected. Perhaps better.)
