What is this?

This is the work blog of Pete Ashton in his capacity as an online communications consultant, though it's often about more than that. If it's to do with people talking online and it interests me it'll be covered here.

If you're interested in working with me get in touch.

LocalGovCamp Roundup

LocalGovCamp was “an unconference for local government”, specifically those who are working with websites and social media tools in relation to local government.
