NZ Maori Internet Society (NZMIS)
In regards to the NZ Maori Internet Society (NZMIS) of which I have been the Chair of since 1999 with a 3 year break. I restructured the Chair role into two co-positions “International/Internet Governance” and “National/Organisation Building”. Teanau Tuiono is now the co-chair of NZMIS assuming the National/ Organisation Building role while I resume with…

Social Networks and Maori
I finally succumbed to perpetual requests from family and close friends to create a Bebo.com account. We know that Hi5.com is preferred by Thai’s and Orkut by South Americans, FaceBook.com and MySpace.com by a good international mixture. An observation that most intrigues me is that Bebo.com is, as is documented fact more for the younger generations (Gen M etc).…

Maori representaion on ICT boards
I have just heard Ernie Newman CEO of TUANZ speak at a Maori ICT conference (of which ironically we had no wireless Internet connection and cell phones were banned). Ernie expressed his vision for Maori and how Maori are creative and should participate more in ICT. Ernie was asked what TUANZ had done for Maori…

1O Year Predictions and Vision for Maori in ICT
After almost a decade after being interviewed by Ariana Tikao on my 10 year vision of Māori and ICT, I have written a new one and welcome any feedback and critiques. 1. Localisation partnerships As a result of many non English speaking countries beginning to demand that they be able to use their own language…

Google Māori is live and functional
Google Māori is accessed via the google.co.nz page. Alas, do I note that there are still macrons missing on the word “Māori”. It is refreshing to see it finally go live after the several years it took to get there. One important thing i have noticed that nobody has mentioned, is that there is still…

Google Māori
This morning i was informed that the Google Māori translation project is beginning to be rolled out and available at http://www.google.com/intl/mi/ . This site is still in English at the time of writing. So i imagine there is a roll out plan as with any newly developed system. There is also a small (up to…

Pete Mc Cauly and Steve Heath. Both have had a huge impact on the internet in NZ. I have had the pleasure of working with…

Pitcairn Islands worlds worst spammers
I would label this humor if the results were not published in an industry publication. SOPOHS a well known Anti Virus vendor published a scathing report about the Pacific Islands, namely Pitcairn Islands being the worst offending country in the world to relay spam If we briefly analyse Pitcairn Islands. There are 50 inhabitants from…
