BloggingBrum

I’ve recently read about a new online project that is being launched shortly called MyBrumTV - the first time I’ve found an interesting article in a free paper posted through my door! It’s created by a partnership of Birmingham Independent Group and South Birmingham College and looks like it’s essentially an online directory but sounds like it trying to use more alternative media to promote those listings e.g. footage of business and interviews with owners.

I’m interested to find out more but I’ve got 20 days odd to wait if you take a look at the countdown. However it does look like the cat might be out of the bag a bit if you search Google as what looks like the development site is available through mybrumtv.net - there is a media pack here that might be of interest but everything else seems not to be working at this time. Perhaps it’s just a place holder because otherwise they’ve got a lot of work to do in 20 days!

I’m disappointed with the social media impact of this project as I can’t find a thing about it (feel free to point me in the right direction). I would have thought a project like this should be leaning heavily on social media at least locally to boost the profile.

And if anyone is reading this who is related to the project please update the holding page to give it a page title other than “Untitled document” - a pet hate of mine.

The local elections that take place on the 1st May 2008 shall be broadcast across the magic of interweb on the Birmingham Local Elections website. All results will be published as they come in and a live webcast will keep you up to date with all the latest comings and goings.
