West Bletchley Council embracing social media

13rd December 2011

West Bletchley Council have totally revamped their web site and it now reflects a very dynamic working parish council. West Bletchley are truly embracing social media as can be seen by their use of Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. This brings best of breed technology as well as widening the coverage to the varied audience of their community.

F acebook brings community chatter, Twitter is useful for quick and short news updates, and Flickr is a great system for publishing lots of photographs.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel and the huge organisations behind Social Media will be bringing new features and updates along the way. That was what "Web 2.0" was supposed to be about, bringing together the features and functions you want from a whole range of innovative companies.

One of the benefits of using Social Media is that the news, updates and photos can easily spread out to those that may not immediately think of using the council's own web site, but through their own online followers and friends they get to see items from those that do engage with the council. This way, your community citizens are a valuable element of your online marketing strategy.

People can now easily share any of your council web pages to their followers and friends on the likes of Twitter and facebook for example.

If you are a town or parish council looking to invest in your web site and take it to the next level, then call e-mango to see what we can do for you.
