Birmingham has a key goal in promoting itself as a leading digital city by 2010. To do so it intends not only to showcase the excellence of its digital expertise to create services that reach international audiences but also in highlighting how innovative interventions at a local level are leading edge and world class in their nature and should be recognised as such.
National government has already identified two interventions from local social media experts and highlighted them in national reports: the plain English translation of the city’s Big City Plan by a group of civic-minded bloggers and the role of hyper-local blogging in the Digbeth area. Birmingham and the West Midlands has the opportunity to capitalise on this and should work towards being seen as a centre of excellence in such social media initiatives.
