On one hand we have what a pain twitter and face book are because it is all out of hand and on the other we have no one watches or reads or is interested.<br /><br />Well I have learnt more about our local community upwards on twitter and like minded people than ever I did anywhere else. so I applaud Twitter still hate face book and think the Helicopter does the most interesting tweeting.<br /><br />On a final note if the House Of Commons can be broadcast real time so can our local councils.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531425205384609992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241537031997879999.post-49927875641932814232011-07-13T21:48:07.400+01:002011-07-13T21:48:07.400+01:00I'm not at all impressed by the sign at the me...I'm not at all impressed by the sign at the meeting that prohibits electronic recording of the meeting. I'd like to know why, seeing as it was a rather important meeting that I'd liked to have watched. If Warwickshire County Council refuse to stream their meetings online, I was relying on sites like wiKenilworth to do the job instead. But now it seems you're not allowed to. This isn't good enough.Dan Essexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187095644493464497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241537031997879999.post-28980302667417413812011-07-12T09:28:15.586+01:002011-07-12T09:28:15.586+01:00My comments were meant as a narrative.

The OSC was a discussion about a topic, in this case libraries.<br /><br />I am sure if Councillors knew a camera was rolling, they would not have made off the cuff comments like that. Same is true if a dozen public were sat at the back. <br /><br />If one Councillor asks some really searching questions and the reply comes back quite vague - what is their to report? This was 2 1/2 hours of discussion.<br /><br />What I am surprised about is the lack of VISUALISATIONS. The room is equipped with a data projector and screen. NO LAPTOP was hooked up to show on screen data (or the report).<br /><br />Even in the 1986 movie Top Gun, they was huddled in a classroom watching videos of dog fights.<br /><br />Classrooms all have data projectors - it's the norm. If someone says, 'page 245 statistic' - it should be on the big screen in seconds.<br /><br />Next airing of this issue is Thursday 14 July 2011, Shire Hall 1.45pmMike Downeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951504706990260946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241537031997879999.post-2671467803833226222011-07-11T21:45:05.749+01:002011-07-11T21:45:05.749+01:00For some Councillors to vote on a paper they haven...For some Councillors to vote on a paper they haven't even read or those who have "disregarded" the majority of it's contents, is quite simply breathtakingly insulting to all the hard-working staff who livelihoods depend on their decision.<br /><br />I wish you would have named and shamed the Councillors who couldn't be bothered so similarly their constituents can return the favour come election time.<br /><br />It really just shows what a farce these committees are when all along the decisions have been made. I expect they can have a nice lunch and claim a few more expenses, so all's not lost, is it?<br /><br />As for those pesky library staff, well, they'll soon be out of your hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
