Follow Fenwick’s (@rfenwick) Wikileeks link to reach Wikileaks

It started as a bit of fun. Rob Fenwick (@rfenwick) registered the web site wikileeks.org.uk as a satirical wheeze when the US cable story broke early in the week.

But over night we learnt that EveryDNS.net, the US host of the Wikileeks.org DNS domain, has refused to support the site any longer. It claimed that an onslaught of denial of service attacks was putting other customers at risk.

A DNS service translates a web address into machine-readable numbers. Without a DNS host the only way to reach the Wikileaks site is via the http://46.59.1.2/.

That was until Fenwick stepped in and redirected the DNS on his Wikileeks domain to the Wikileaks. Follow wikileeks.org.uk.

CIPR Corporate Reputation blogging workshop

Here’s my presentation from the CIPR Reputation Management conference which took place at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester today.

I led a workshop on corporate blogging that examined why blogging was broken amongst UK corporate organisations, looked at examples of good corporate UK blogs, examined how to generate authentic content and the process required to kick start a corporate blog.

Many thanks to Ged Carroll, Stephen Davies and Rob Fenwick for their help in putting the session together. And to Speed’s Caroline Allen and Clare English.
