Quote:The thing that sprang to mind when I read the blog was the person who was standing for IfA council who popped up on BAJR briefly, and then went away saying that it was unfair for her to campaign on the web as not everyone has access to the web.Haha, I never went away. I'm always watching
And you missed the point that i was making in that situation (or i never made it well). In that situation i didn't care so much about the audience access as much as the candidates. I didnt want to campaign in an arena where i was only one, I felt it was tantamount to shoving my agenda down people's throat with no option to hear others arguments or opinions. Probably had more to do with me being a wee bit too self effacing than a lack of technichal (i.e. web) adoption. If a written leaflet or flyer was also an option, seemingly open to or adopted only by me, i would have felt just as reticent.
I have absolutely no qualms about using the internet (regardless of the lack of tech-y knowledge in the heritage sector, which at times is shockingly bad). I would be surprised to hear anyone using the argument "that not everyone has the web" to opt out of using it as a marketing and communication tool :0
