- Government 2.0 Taskforce - Project 8: Online Engagement Guidance and Web 2.0 Toolkit for Australian Government Agencies
- December 22, 2009. "Headshift developed a series of practical resources to provide guidance to government agencies using Web 2.0 tools and provided a recommendation for a toolkit of Web 2.0 technologies that agencies can use based on principles of shared services and re-use. The report found that a diverse range of Web 2.0 technologies are already being used by government agencies and identified twenty-seven separate use cases for online engagement.

- Posted by Jason Morrison, Search Quality Team. Google Webmaster Central Blog, Friday, September 26, 2008. "... Comment spam is bad stuff all around. It's bad for you, because it adds to your workload. It's bad for your users, who want to find information on your site and certainly aren't interested in dodgy links and unrelated content. It's bad for the web as a whole, since it discourages people from opening up their sites for user-contributed content and joining conversations on existing forums..."
