Introducing MISaustralia.com

If I’ve got any excuse for being so slack on the blogging front for a while, I could blame MISaustralia.com – the AFR and MIS Magazine’s new site for the CIO and IT professional community. It’s been advertised the AFR for the past few days in case you’ve missed the marketing.

It’s really satisfying to see the site up and running. I’ve spent months working with Fairfax Business Media’s online, editorial and publishing teams in a consulting capacity, and on the pure editorial front I’m also wearing the online editor’s hat for a short time. We’re in the process of hiring a full time online editor, which will be great. Actually, necessary. I’m about to resume my studies after a break between semesters, and when I’m not studying I expect my podcast and the series of video interviews I’m doing for the site will soak up a good chunk of time. And the video shoots are coming thick n fast. Tomorrow I’ll be down in Canberra talking to government types at the AFR’s Govtech.

I’ll endeavour to write more about the site, the thinking behind it, and some of the other fun stuff I’ve been doing like setting up a podcasting studio with broadcast quality gear in the near future. But for now, lemme know what you think about MISaustralia.com.
