And so, last night I took myself off to Shoreditch House for the Computer Weekly IT Blog Awards. This is the second year that we've run these, and the first that we've actually had an awards night at the end, I believe. And what good fun it was. Drinks, chat, CW web editor James Garner in full-on Bruce Forsyth mode, and Leila Gilley, our newly-appointed community manager for Estates Gazette (pictured above with Brucie James), snagging one of the awards for her site Girls'n'Gadgets.I think it was particularly satisfying for me, because for the first time I really saw the multi-pronged blog strategy in, as it were, the flesh. We had CW journalists who blog there, alongside industry experts who we got blogging for the first time on the site, along with skilled existing bloggers who have come into the fold, including social technologist Suw Charman-Anderson, who has taken over The Social Enterprise blog (as per my rather cryptic post) and Hermione Way, who's using her video skills on the new Computer Geekly videos.
Only took us three years to get there...
There's a full list of winners on the site, along with photos of them all.
Good activity and congratulations for all persons.
I did *NOT* notice this LOL!!!
Nice to know you're such a regular reader. ;-)
