Guardian on Gyford







Guardian on Gyford

Guardian on Gyford 07/08/2004 05:32 AM

The Guardian has published a wonderful profile of my pal Phil Gyford, whom you may know from the Pepys's Diary blog -- but who has also helped hack together some of the UK's best political advocacy websites.

His latest project, TheyWorkFor You.com, was launched last month with the intention of bringing parliament closer to the British people. With a team of almost 20 volunteers, Gyford helped build the site, which provides information on members of parliament and a readable version of Hansard, the parliamentary record.

"There's lots of interesting stuff," he says, explaining the motivation behind the site. "But it's so unappealing to read the Hansard site. For example, there's no way that webloggers can link into it. Presenting it in a readable way was something that had been talked about a lot before, but never done. We started making plans for it last August or September, but we probably started working on it properly just before Christmas."

Gyford: How BB should change


Gyford: How BB should change 04/03/2005 01:24 PM
Cory Doctorow: My friend Phil Gyford has written an essay for his blog on what he sees as the style changes necessary for Boing Boing's future as a commercial venture. I don't agree with everything he's written, but I don't disagree with it all either, and I'll certainly take it to heart:
The second example is Boing Boing's post about a high-school principal who "banned blogging" because it "isn't educational". Part of the blame lies with the source story at the Rutland Herald whose over-eager sub-editors misleadingly headlined the story "High school bans blogging". In fact the school banned a single website and the principal simply issued a sensible warning about children weblogging -- as with any activity online, kids should be careful with the information they make public.

But Boing Boing got carried away with the newspaper's headline, repeating it in theirs even though a cursory read of the newspaper article reveals that no one "banned blogging". The newspaper claims the principal doesn't think blogging is educational, and Cory could certainly have criticised him for this alone, although it would make for a less dramatic post. The repetition of the lie about the principal banning blogging, rather than his apparent opinion, is possibly also what prompted a reader to suggest people should email the principal to complain.
