As you many have noticed, I recently launched a new religion which I’m calling “LOTU”, the Laws Of The Universe. If you missed that news, read this. On January 11, 2007, I held the very first church meeting of LOTU. As befits a 21st century religion, I held it in Second Life at TPN HQ. It wasn’t a huge turnout – about 6 people joined me for the session you hear recorded on this podcast and then another 6 or 7 people turned up later on, and we discussed LOTU into the evening.
To join the LOTU Facebook group (where you’ll be notified of upcoming meetings, etc), go here.

Today I chat with Bronwen Clune, Founder and CEO of Norg Media, an independent Australian media company that allows anyone to contribute to the news as a Cit J (citizen journalist).
We talk about her vision for Norg (which stands for “news organisation”), how the media landscape is changing, and about being a female entrepreneur (my first ever female entrepreneur guest in 3 years??? WTF?).
It’s great to finally have Australia’s other online media entrepreneur on the show.
Bronwen is very popular on Twitter and you can follow her by clicking the photo below:
Thanks to @m0nty, @jodiem and @glemak for their questions submitted via Twitter during the show. Sorry to everyone else, you were too slow. 🙂

The first show of 2008! My guest today is local Yarraville boy Steve Sammartino, founder of Rentoid.com. I love Steve’s approach to his business and his entrepreneurial spirit in general. He came around to Casa del Reilly this morning to talk about the Rentoid site, why he left his big income corporate marketing job and how he lives on his investment dividends. It’s a great show to start the year with!
**update 2017-05-29** – unfortunately it looks like the audio for this interview disappeared in a server crash many years ago. You might like
this interview with Steve instead.

I just heard about this poll today via @bronwen. I’m not going to tell you how to vote or anything cheesy like that. I want to comment on the list itself. I don’t think any of the people on the list, except maybe Marty Wells from Tangler and Duncan Riley, who was probably running the Blog Herald back then, would have had any kind of public profile 5 years ago. Who were the OzWebCelebs five years ago and where are they now? Frank Arrigo should have garnered more votes and I’m sure if he’d blogged about it he would have. I just think it’s cool that there are a whole bunch of new people on the scene in Australia, most of whom I consider mates. I know most of the people on that list and I consider them a terrific bunch of people. They are people I love to talk to and hang out with. They inspire me, challenge me, and keep me on my toes. Most importantly, they are people who have chosen to make a difference. They are stepping up, putting their ideas and energy on the line, trying to create something, build something. I respect each and every one of them.

As the twittories project keeps growing (we’re now taking registrations for twittories #2), it seems like the idea is inspiring others to do similar projects. I got this email today from Mr Mayo:
Cameron,
I’m a middle school teacher in the US. I have been following your Twittory project. I’ve joined to add a contribution to Twittory #2. I’ve created an offshoot of your idea, but tweaked it to use with my middle school students. I gave you credit for inspiring me to try this out with middle schoolers on our Twitter Story sign-up page.
Thanks for the idea. George (In Washington, DC)

Sounds like a great idea, George! Will you be making it available to kids from around the world to contribute to? Is Twitter popular with kids yet?
I’ve been wondering about what other kinds of new content or services we can create with Twitter as the collaboration platform. How could corporations or governments use it? More importantly, how can the general public use it to empower themselves against big corporations and governments? How can we use it as a platform for social activism, for positive change?
