And it's official!
What started as an idea, and a single blog entry on this site, has now started to gain momentum. My CEO (Mark Rogers at Solihull MBC) has given this his blessing on an internal blog.
I was slightly embarrassed about the email I sent Mark being posted on the blog, but what the hell, it gave me the opportunity to ask if anyone else in the council has experience of blogging and social media tools, and if so, would they like to help with the SMS we’ll be running.
What happens now?
Well, I have a bloggers meet on Monday the 13th, and a Birmingham SMS on Wednesday the 15th, so I will be chatting to a few more people about making this all happen. The initial Solihull SMS will probably be a weekday evening at our Civic Suite, but this is to be confirmed.
Keep checking back, and do feel free to comment!
