Geo-Location Project

Posted on May 8, 2012 by | Leave a comment

THE HEDON BLOG and HU12 Online are both part of a new Geo-Location Project.

The HypARlocal project is being organised by Talk About Local and involves ‘geo-tagging’ articles with the location of the subject of that story. So an article about St Augustine’s Church will be marked, or geo-tagged, on a Google Map at the location of the Church.

The project is about exploring how mobile phones and tablet computers and other hand-held devices can be used to find stories associated with a particular street or location.

As an example of what can be done, we’ve published a page on the Hedon Blog which indicates certain articles that have been geo-tagged in this way.

HU12 Online – keeping you updated on progress

Posted on March 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

LOCAL SHOPKEEPERS and businesses will have had a visit from Ray Duffill in the last couple of days with the promotional leaflet about HU12 Online (not visited everyone in Hedon yet, but aim to!).

HU12 has had 1,000 attractive leaflets printed (by Hedon Green Print) and they represent our *first publicity drive since starting in business last week.

The Hedon Blog had organised its Good Deeds programme with the intention of raising enough money to do enough leaflets for every household (in Hedon, Preston and Paull) but despite raising £27 (with thanks to £15, £5 and £2 from anon and £5 from Diane Davies) we didn’t raise enough. However, the donated money has been put towards printing the current leaflets.

HU12 will be visiting the major shopping and business areas across the post-code area with these leaflets over the next few days/weeks.

We would also like to say ‘Thanks’ to our first two advertisers on HU12. They have given us one of our first milestones of achievement - we will acknowledge our supporters on the Hedon Blog from time-to-time and hope that you support them in return.

*Thanks also to BBC Radio Humberside and Seaside FM for the interviews.

Announcement: HU12 Online ‘trading’

Posted on March 6, 2012 by | Leave a comment

REPRODUCED FROM HU12 ONLINE:

HU12 ONLINE starts ‘trading’ from Wednesday 7th March 2012.

The www.hu12.net website (HU12 Online) will play the role of a ‘hyperlocal’ news agency which will gather and collect local news,  information and events, from – and relevant to – the South Holderness towns and villages.

As well as being published on HU12 Online, the material will be shared with other news providers and also on social-media networks. In this way HU12 will seek to publicise and positively promote the area – whilst not neglecting to report the more contentious issues on occasion. But the focus will be on publicising those smaller community stories and issues that do not normally find their way into mainstream media.

In short the website aims to expand its coverage of local news, information and events financed through the income generated from providing a series of locally useful initiatives:

  • offering low-cost advertising and promotion services for local businesses and organisations;
  • advertising local vacancies on our Jobs page;
  • starting our Shop so that local people can sell or swap items;
  • hosting an Amazon shop;
  • offering simple website creation and management services.

You can find out more about some of these on HU12 Online Commerce.

The results of our trading activities should see HU12 Online (and the Hedon Blog) covering more issues, and in greater depth than ever before.

We ask for our readers continuing support – and please make sure you tell your neighbours and friends about HU12 Online!

Opportunities to add to local debates on HU12 Online

Posted on October 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

SINCE HU12 ONLINE went officially live on 4th October 2011, it has become the local web-place to discuss the more ‘controversial’ issues affecting the local area and the surrounding villages.

An article about the teachers suspended from South Holderness for allegedly making inappropriate Facebook comments, and the social media campaign waged in their defence, has received much attention and has been picked up by other media organisations. See: Supporters wage social media campaign.

The publication of allowances  paid to East Riding Councillors’ has sparked renewed interest on that subject both in terms of visits to the website, but also debate on our Facebook Page. See: Should Councillors get paid?

And today we summarise the debate on the Boundary Changes as a ‘taster’ to some of the issues that may be discussed at the Public Hearings taking place next week. See: Should SW Holderness be included in the East Hull constituency?

In addition, visits to the What’s On? page has increased as readers discover that the page is for the wider area and not just Hedon. This vindicates the decision to host that page on HU12 Online.
