Oops!
Not so clever. For someone who purports to be interested in unions and blogging I shouldn’t really have missed comment on my own union running a live conference blog last week. I do have the half-excuse that I’m only just back from hols at a pal’s farmhouse in rural Spain, where the landlines haven’t ever got to – let alone the wireless networks, so I’ve been web-starved for much longer than I’d like to be again!
So first in my bookmark list is going to be looking over the whole of the “100 Years of the NUJ” ADM blog, and seeing what I missed whilst I was busy sunning myself.
Congrats to the NUJ for doing this – A group blog like this gives you a good feel for an event, as well as letting members read and comment on the goings on at conference. Other unions like the RMT have webcast theirs, which is also good, but I think I’d prefer a blog format as a member, as it’s easier to cherry-pick from, without knowing the running order or sitting through bits that don’t interest me (shameful to admit I know, but there might be the odd moment I could nip out for!).
