Posterous: CMS for simple web publishing via email
"Posterous is the easy way to get content online using e-mail. You can e-mail content of just about any type (such as rich text, photos, music, video, Word/Powerpoint/Excel/PDF documents, and zip archives) to us. We will post it online in the most web-friendly format, then reply with a public URL that can be forwarded or shared with friends. Account creation is never required, but if a user does create an account, posts from your various e-mail addresses (work, home, and mobile phone) can all be integrated into one blog."

The Constellations publishing application: associative and dialogic
The Constellations publishing application is an instance of the Constellations Project. It is a structured repository whose organisational approach has been informed by an understanding of Mikhail Bakhtin''s Heteroglossia. In this way the application was an effort to facilitate the publication of user contributions through employing an associative and dialogic method. The Constellations application first went live in December 2003 and now represents the prototype for the post Web 2.0 Folksonomy application.

The Virtual Tutorial Gallery: promoting dialogic approaches to learning
'The Virtual Tutorial Gallery' is an on-line publishing system organised around the metaphor of a virtual fine art gallery. The system was designed by Jillian Hamilton to be used as a pedagogical tool within an art history context. The tool allows students to curate their own virtual 'shows'.

netMemory: nascent Constellations Project
I created the 'netMemory' tool in December 2003 as a support for Agnes Hegedüs' 'Object Memory Archive' project. The tool was designed as a scrapbook for collecting and sharing useful ideas and references during the conceptualisation process for the OMA project. While the netMemory tool can be seen as the logical starting point for my Constellations Project its usefulness to the OMA project was limited and so was removed shortly after being created.
