I was worried about the early start too but it was carried off on sheer momentum.

Cover It Live meant that we could control comments in the room itself. But honestly, I maybe left out one or two.

It was heartfelt and genuine.

I’ll admit to being a little worried when I first heard the idea, both at how momentum would be sustained over such a long period of time at at the potential for the contributions on the hashtag to get sarcastic or anti council (anything Council related is a very political issue with strong feelings abounding) — but it was handled very well and did provide a good show of support.

I’d sort of say it did contain (but wasn’t limited to) the ‘same old faces mentioning the same old things’, but it’s not losing the old that’s the aim but getting new people engaged — and this did that.

You’re done imho a very good job managing the social web presence — top stuff, let’s hope it leads to a Brum victory.
