Be Birmingham site goes 2.0, in a way

Be Birmingham is what used to be called Birmingham Strategic Partnership — that’s a sort of talking shop between things like the police and the council, which everyone is invited to contribute to.

They’ve revamped their website to include a forum, as well as blogs from their “community champions” – who take “various views from the community to be considered when strategies and activities are being developed”.

Apart from the sin of calling blog posts “blogs”, most other things seem to be three (comments, RSS and the like). It’s one to stick in your feed reader and watch with interest anyway.

  1. Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham, its people, arts, animals, buildings, parks, grass verges, factories and bus stops. We've even got a soft spot for the Black Country.

    B:iNS runs The Brummie of the Year Award, Talk Like a Brummie Day and organises odd stuff like spending all day on the eleven bus.

    BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds, a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer. You can hire him to work on your stuff, or follow him on twitter. There's also stuff from Danny Smith and Karen Strunks.

    Feel free to send us anything you're interested in - or think we might be.
    If you've got gigs to promote, best to chuck them on the talk board.
