On Thursday 18 June Peter Williams from Deloitte Digital gave a fantastic presentation on Web 2.0 tools and methodologies to Stage 2 short-listed cIIF applicants to inspire them to think creatively about their potential projects.
Peter’s presentation focussed on a site he was personally involved with - the Flowerdale Bushfire Relief (and the corresponding blog). This site was rapidly put together to support the people of Flowerdale during the February 09 bushfires and went on to become a valuable tool for the entire community in the post fire recovery period.
Peter also discussed the website for Extreme Weather Heroes as a great example of a site that utilises freely available resources like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Google Maps, RSS feeds and blogs.
The Circus OZ website was also highlighted by Peter as a website that incorporates a range of Web 2.0 technologies, the combination of which allow it to be easily managed.

I am organizing some activities for OneWebDay in Melbourne. OneWebDay is an annual day of celebration, education, and activism for the future of the Web and the Internet that happens every September 22 across the world.
This year’s theme — One Web. For All — is all about digital inclusion, digital literacy, and working to close the digital divide.
I would really like everyone involved with ciif to work on this event. I know you’re very involved with digital inclusion efforts, and I think we can make a big difference here locally while joining a global effort.
Please sign up at my.OneWebDay.org and join my group for our city at http://my.onewebday.org/group/melbourne
Cheers
