How do you get action over poor property management service? Use social media tools of course. Want an example where this has worked? Sure, go to TheTruthAbout: Solitaire & Peverel Property Management where people are using online tools from a purpose built website, presence on Facebook, and communication through RSS feeds, through to a No [...]
Looking forward to We20 in Leicester on Saturday, meeting people who want to make the city a better place to live and work!
I’m taking this great BusinessWeek piece about creating jobs by supporting start-ups in the US to the meeting in the town hall, and hope to get the chance to discuss its relevance to [...]
Interesting statement of ethics by pro-Labour bloggers setting out their ethic which informs their blogging. It includes this call to Government to see online engagement as a cultural change worth engaging with. Maybe a little blogging training would go along way in providing Ministers with the tools for the job?

Hmm, I thought, but haven’t we been told about the ‘global economy’ for years now, and its [...]

Thanks to Bristol East MP Kerry McCarthy I came across the new LabourList blog which launches today. It also has help on starting your own blog which is great.
Welcome to LabourList, the must read online forum for Labour minded people to come together to share news and views and, hopefully, also have a laugh.
Over the [...]
