Changes in the IEET communications strategy


Posted: Nov 23, 2006

Friends of the IEET

As you may know, I recently stepped down from being the Executive Director of the WTA to give my full attention to the IEET. I feel the wind back in my sails. One of the things we need to clean up here is our communications strategy and infrastructure. Marcelo and I are open for suggestions.

We’ve been trying to figure out if there was some way to get a good, formatted version of new entries in the IEET website to repost to the ieet-news email list. As you could see from all the gobbledy-gook, we haven’t figured it out yet, and neither apparently has anyone else using this particular site management software (ExpressionEngine).

However we have figured out how to pull together a monthly web-email newsletter:

http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/monthlynews

We’ll be posting that newsletter on the last day of the month to the moderated, once-a-month&special-notices ieet-announce email list and to the ieet-news discussion list:

http://www.transhumanism.org/mailman/listinfo/ieet-announce

http://www.transhumanism.org/mailman/listinfo/ieet-news

Responding to a monthly info-dump is far less likely to generate conversation, however, than responding to a trickle of individual pieces.

So we will continue to explore a way to get the new articles at the site to show up pretty and formatted on the ieet-news list. In the meantime we have set up five flavors of RSS feeds that you can subscribe to to get items of interest at the IEET site corresponding to four IEET programs, and then one for everything:

Life http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/rss_life/
Rights http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/rss_rights/
Security http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/rss_secure/
Culture http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/rss_vision/
All IEET News http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/rss_2.0/

We will also be opening the IEET site up for folks to register and sign-in, and then have access to commenting privileges. We used to allow public commenting but then we were buried under robotic comment spam and had to shut that down (a sign that the Singularity might suck IMHO).

So send Marcelo and I a note if you have an opinion on how and what you think the IEET should be sending you and the rest of the world.

J. Hughes
IEET Executive Director
