Irish Labour Party - 1 comment

The Irish Labour Party has relaunched its web-site, and there's an interesting list of changes and enhancements at Graham Ó Maonaigh's blog.

A couple of things jumped out at me:
  • Events Diary: well, we had a go, and it didn't quite take off straightaway. Changes are being suggested on the forum, but what our Irish friends are looking into is some kind of integration with upcoming.org. I think we could do that, too; so maybe interested individuals could have a think how we could best do that, and share their thoughts in the comments, or (ideally) on the forum.
  • They have thousands of images in their Flickr area. Our group, with its 14 members, has a mere 34 images. Given that our own Labour Party lacks this facility, Bloggers4Labour and its bloggers ought to be filling the gap. If you're a Councillor or an activist, perhaps you have photos of campaigns, meetings, or evidence of local issues that you can bring to a wider audience? Anything politically-themed is of interest. Here's our original post on the subject.

Glad to see your taken notice. The website is going strong for us after the first month and the new internal message boards are a vast improvement from the old. Alot of the features in teh website are simply utilising the many Online community functions already in use instead of producing a duplicate custom made version.

Aside from this Labour Youth has been championing the use of Bebo and Myspace as a direct means to get in contact with younger generations, in particular school children of the later teenage years.

If anyone in the London Area would like to meet up with me to discuss this in more detail I'll be in London for the weekend to meet some fellow comrades on January 26th-28th. Don't mind meetings for a coffee to run over the process we went through and how the activist is central to any dynamic party website's success.
