Show Notes: Open Source Govt and Blogging a Living

Brief set of notes for today's segment - in a rush, day off, yadda, yadda:

• Shadow Chancellor George Osbourne MP on Open Source software for Government but the best bit was surely his explanation of why he won't blog


• The Danger Room's Noah Shachtman on how squirrels will help build the better soldier


• The Telegraph's Peter Foster blogs the Ganges


• Ewan Spence (who's report was sadly curtailed by a smoking laptop) on the 10th annual Web Awards at SXSW. Also 2007 Bloggies announced on the same day, same venue


• Can you make a living blogging ? (more on that later)


• Blogging for Comic Relief (at 0305AM)

All ideas for next week's segment very welcome. Leave a note in comments (which have been a bit erratic of late - sorry about that MT issues I believe) or email podsandblogs@bbc.co.uk - make sure you clearly indicate that you are not a Viagra salesman..that inbox has serious Spam issues at the moment.
