It has been so refreshing to work with people that are so straightforward and upfront. After having such an awful experience previously it is great to work with nice people who do things right.

By Mark Walker
Read an interesting article on the BBC News web site today, the sort of article which makes you want to just hang your head and bang it repeatedly on the desk in frustration.
"The government has long aspired to reach out to citizens in a more engaging way and in the Twittertastic world of Web 2.0 it seems such a goal should be pretty easy to achieve.
But despite having a set of guidelines on how to use Twitter, Facebook and other social media, the government's intranet bans access to them.
Even in local authorities, only around half of the UK's councils allow employees access to such sites."
So what they are saying is, here are a set of guidelines to help use technology to keep the public and business informed of what we are doing, but whatever you do don't use it!
And the guidelines probably cost £300,000 to draw up, involved 80 MP's and took 5 weeks of their valuable time*. And we wonder why we are the last to pull out of this recession?
