British Library Puts 800 Historic Maps Online
From the article, "In the centuries up to 1600 the contours of the British Isles were gradually revealed as successive generations of conquerors, monks, sailors, kings and nobles endeavoured to map the boundaries and resources of these islands. This fascinating process can now be explored online through digitised versions of over 800 items from the British Library's maps collection, ranging from Saxon times to the reign of James I. The maps can be viewed as part of 'The Unveiling of Britain' at:
www.collectbritain.co.uk/collections/unveiling/
'The Unveiling of Britain' allows users to explore items either as large images or using a zoom facility. Each map is accompanied by detailed explanatory notes, establishing the historical context of the map?s creation, with insights into emerging technologies used in its production and the political background to what it might contain or exclude."

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
