Hi there
Owing to the one or two issues we’ve experienced with the website this last week, some other updates have been delayed. We hope this week to have some more new features up. Thanks for your patience.
In the meantime, we’re pleased to report that we currently appear to be a leading light among our Local Authority colleagues in taking up Web 2.0 to improve communication with our customers. Looking at the brilliant Talkwiki website and specifically the The TALK Social Media Map, shows that St.Helens Council currently has the most social media links and web 2.0 applications of any local authority anywhere in the country!
The following are listed as examples of our use of web 2.0
- Our facebook page
- Our Twitter feed
- Our Web Team’s Twitter feed
- Our Where I Live page
- Our Streetworks page
- Councillors’ blogs
- This blog!
- Our Flickr page
and our two most recent additions:
- Our Identica feed
- Our friendfeed
As more and more authorities embrace web 2.0, we can’t imagine we’ll keep this position for long, but it’s good to see that our work in this area is being recognised.
What other social media / web 2.0 apps should we be using? What do you think of the way we’re using web 2.0? What other examples of good web 2.0 use should we be looking at?
As always, please do follow us or add us on any of the above to keep up to date with the work we do as a Council.
Thanks for your continued contributions and visits to the Web Development blog. The response and visit rates have so far well exceded our expectations. So keep visiting and keep commenting!
Thanks
