I have decided to build on the @medway_tweet engine and do the same for @barnet_tweet and @hackney_tweet. I am looking forward to seeing how these communities pan out. Using twitter as a local communication tool is realistic now there are so many users accross the board.

Since launching @medway_tweet it has been interesting watching the community build and seeing the conversation local to the area.  The same can now be said for Hackney and Barnet.

Potentially I’ll be rolling this out over about 30 areas as a trial and then around 400 areas if things work as intended.  I’m hoping these retweet bots have a positive impact on the local communtities that they are intended for. We’ll see…..
