My Neighbourhoods has once again been featured live on air. The interview took place on radio station Spin 103.8 during their SPIN Talk program. It was interesting to talk about the site once again and the potential affect people think it could have. People are joining on a daily basis and communities are beginning to form all over the UK.

I hope to have the podcast available soon.

My Neighbourhoods appeared in The Sunday Times Style Magazine on the barometer (’Going Up’) this week. It’s an excellent piece of publicity for the site. The mention has resulted in more members from all over the UK, which is good news as the site continues to grow.

You can view the press clipping on the My Neighbourhoods site.

My apologies if anyone has been trying to get in touch via email. Our hosts - 1 and 1 - are proving to be extremely inept this week. Their email servers have been experiencing problems for 4 days now. I’m seriously considering moving hosts once this fiasco is over.

In the meantime, it’s best to call if or skype me (dannybull55) if it’s urgent.

This morning I was asked to take part in another live radio interview, this time on Colourful Radio, a national digital Talk, cross-cultural radio station. The interview took place on the Colourful Morning show with Amina Taylor who talked specifically about the decline of community spirit and how My Neighbourhoods could combat this by bringing people and communities closer together.

I’m delighted to be working with Danny Meadows-Klue at Digital Strategy Consulting. I worked for Danny at the Telegraph a number of years ago where we did some excellent work. I’ll be working with the team in a project management capacity and look forward to some very interesting projects.

Today I was asked by a Belfast-based radio station, U 105.8, to speak about My Neighbourhoods following our launch a couple of months ago. The interview took place on their Drive Time show and covered the social and community building aspect of My Neighbourhoods, as well the potential for helping local crime and improving the areas in which we live. The station was very interested in how the site seems to have reversed the trend for using technology to communicate with people across the globe by putting you in touch with your neighbours.

It’s excellent coverage for us and I hope to have the podcast available for download soon.
