LabourList launches today

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 last few weeks, there have been a number of misinformed reports about what we are trying to achieve with this website. Most have been completely inaccurate. A quick summary is available here.

What we’re really about is pretty simple. LabourList aims to provide a platform for debate for every level of our movement, and for those who disagree with us.

To encourage this discussion, we’ll have access to and insight from government ministers; we’ll host voices from the fringe and from the traditional media; and we’ll have regular reports from the grassroots that make our movement so powerful.

24 hour Twitter people

From Bristol East MP Kerry McCarthy..

OK, still only semi-Twitterate, even after my briefing from Sam at the Pervasive Media Studio on Friday, but things are happening…

On February 12th it’s the anniversary of Twitter, and Bristol will be celebrating in style – have a look at http://twitter.com/bristwestival and Bristol Twestival on Facebook for info. It’s for a good cause, charity:water, and it’s a party, so what more do you need to persuade you? I assume some Twittering will be involved too… or is it Tweeting? Sam did tell me… He also explained what pervasive media was, but let’s just say I’m not quite ready to answer questions on that yet. Sounds like they have fun though.
