It's received some big coverage already but I wanted to add my thoughts on last week's big political/new media announcement: the Labour Party's launch of LabourList (see screenshot above). I was lucky enough to get some background briefing info from Mark Hanson, one of the people behind the site [full disclosure: I know Mark fairly well], and have an strong interest in politics (see: eDemocracy Update) so wanted to share my opinions.
Or at least I was going to until today when I discovered Labourist.org (see screenshot below). I'm not entirely what's going on now – was the (beta) labourList a teaser for the real site, labourist? Or is Labourist a Tory attempt to spike Labour's big new media unveil ?
Frankly I'm not sure and I'm going to hold off posting my full review until I get to the bottom of it. 🙂
