Thanet Star - actively improving Thanet one idea at a time

Read all about it

Written by Matt B · first published 10/09/2009
New features at Live in Thanet present an opportunity for the newsier blogs to share their content. Live in Thanet is a cross between a forum and a social network for those of us that live in Thanet and with the roll out of a new news sharing application this might be the time for some blogs to share new headlines with the users of the forum.

What is kept and what is lost is of course down to the votes of the members but I have a feeling that our newsier blogs (you know who you are) would be well advised to slip the odd headline item in there from time to time. After all we don't want just the "big papers" to scope all the glory.

@huddi1 Short thaw expected Monday then freezing conditions. Expect lots of road ice. Could get stuck at a friend's house for a while.
