I am looking to my local community to educate and give my services for social media consultancy to local area partnerships and governmental services on how to use social media for businesses. I think young people and old in local communities need to know how to use these tools when creating something of value in an online enterprise. My own hyper local news project 'The Castleknock Print Blog.com' is aimed at allowing locals to connect online using the likes of Facebook. Through our fan page, building a presence and community around this page and reporting local news using the like of Twitter as a broadcasting tool. Creating a link network for news reporting in communities is added value in collaboration. - shane Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:00:41 +0100
