This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek,
passionate photographer, anthropologist and
web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for
The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
The site includes a
blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other
projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.
Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.
While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.
