A new chance to win prizes by expressing how much you love Melbourne over on the Visit Melbourne Red Thread site that launched today.
They have five missions to choose from, each one showcasing a particular aspect of Melbourne lifestyle. You have to tell your story with video or photos and a brief review, then add it to The Red Thread forum by 12pm 16/11/07.
Mrs Cameron is one of the creative geniuses behind the site and campaign. Give it your support and win something! I can’t – family not allowed. Bah.
I think this is a great idea though – Tourism Victoria are using UGC to grab real content about Melbourne by people who live here and then put it up on their site. TV get the content for free, the creators get their work displayed on the #1 Melbourne portal, and the audience get to see/read/hear about the best things Melbourne has to offer.
If I was going to enter, I’d be choosing Mission 6 and I’d be devoting myself to the research of discovering the best dirty martini in Melbourne. Anyone want to help with me research?

The lovely Shelly Brisbin, Editor-in-Chief of Blogger & Podcaster Magazine, interviewed me a few weeks ago and I just noticed (while crusing in B&P’s Second Life HQ) that the interview has been published. You can read it here for my perspective (if you already sick of hearing it) on podcasting.

We’ve had a bunch of people visit the TPN HQ in Second Life tonight. All together I’ve counted 20 people. We’ve sat around and talked about Second Life, transhumanism, politics, you name it. A very varied discussion. At one point we were all even blown up by some C4 explosive and killed. Very cool.
Update: We had 30+ people turn up last night at various stages. Lots of great discussions. Hope to you see you all visit soon.

We’re putting the final touches on Peter’s new book (“Designing 2050: Pathways to Sustainable Prosperity on Spaceship Earth”, published by TPNTXT), and we need to get a Wikipedia entry loaded for him. I’ve got a bio on him but I need someone to write it up in Wikipedia. Any volunteers?
