Media Maze

Well after 6 days of posting items sourced from Google feeds and selected sources unearthed, plus my own journalistic endeavours I have managed to have 19 followers.

Of note is TV3 which has picked it up as a solid info source and private messaged me to establish contact. Out of these 19 followers I am trying to build a group of people who will give updates via Twitter about HV Rail and SH2 in their commute to work in Wgtn

All positive stuff at present. Given Twitter very low penetration in Wgtn (regularly search Twitter local 15Kms) my estimates there are about 50 users.

I hope promotion of Twitter will lead others online so it make take time to build an audience with enough local followers.

My goal is 50+ on Twitter before I will contemplate the supporting blog. It is extremely interesting to note that the photos on Twitpic have between 15-20 views, which means people are reading the feeds. I cant wait for good analytics on Twitter to see the penetration of views which means people are finding value.

Im hopeful about all of this, but there is a lot of work with that hyperlocal blog if numbers build to my break point.
