@Liz_Azyan Interesting subscription numbers for those channels, which might suggest low interest but I’d be wary of making that assumption.

@paulmirvine I think its also important to see the number of highest views for each channel too. There was one with almost 70k!

@Liz_Azyan We don’t really use it, as is often the case, we let others learn the lessons first!

Given that these sites have the capacity for interactiveness, I found them pretty uninspired. Few if any comments. Sign ups seemed to include other local governments perhaps trying to beef up each other’s numbers. Certainly seemed to be more one-way that two-way method – a ‘build it and they will come’ approach to using the technology.
Don’t give up though. It’s time is coming. I think it’s all about how we make it useful for the community.
