- Are social media e-discovery's next nightmare?
- by Barry Murphy. Computerworld, 20 August, 2012. "People who have been involved in the challenges of e-discovery for a while remember when email arrived on the scene nearly two decades ago. It changed the way people collaborate and left companies with mounds of digital information that was costly and time-consuming to sort through when litigation struck. The arrival of social media is in many ways a repeat of those challenges. As was true of email, social media comes with new metadata and formats. But because of the similarities, there is an opportunity to avoid the mistakes made with email.

- A Gov 2.0 spin on archiving 2.0 data
- A grass-roots approach to archiving social media records could save money and increase collaboration, By Brand Niemann. Federal Computer Week, January 27, 2011. "Agencies that struggle to preserve their growing volume of social media records ought to look to an untapped resource: their own employees. I have preserved the record of my work for the federal government for the past 30 years, especially the past 10 years. Based on that experience, I believe agency administrators, CIOs, chief knowledge officers and senior managers should encourage individuals in their organizations to be information architects and preservationists for their own information..."

- By John Alber. Computerworld, March 7, 2008. "Executive summary - Businesses are being overwhelmed with electronic records.

- Death of the Paper Tiger
- by Tony Bosworth. CIO, 9 May 2006. ""A DMS (document management system) is an excellent start for a government department because it gets all of the documents into a central place. But that's really all it does," says Jamie Wodetzki, CEO of SpeedLegal, a Melbourne-based company providing specialist DMS to government and financial institutions. Wodetzki says that the fundamental purpose of the DMS is to get the useful documents into some central place, "where people can find them and keep track of them and find out who has done what and when"..."
