    Has anybody seen this site.....great idea and well pulled together.

    http://www.mayotoday.ie/

    I have no conenction....a chap called Anthony Hickey is doing it. Great to have things like cinema listing and mobile friendly too. It is a big change from getting the local news on MWR web site which is staid and dull.

    The other interesting thing that differentiates it is that there is no death notices! ;)

    I hope it works out and goes from strength to strength.

    They could at least got an Irish host for the website, they went to the bother to get a .ie domain then host in the USA. Its annoying when You can nearly count to 10.

    I appreciate why MWR do it and that there is a big demand for it....I think Paul Claffey was the guy who introduced it first. I'm sure it may have been a risky idea at the time, he's now reaping the rewards in spades. Is that public service broadcasting, giving the people what they want?

    It's just not my cup of tea...... :cool:

    In all honesty, all the media organisations in the west and elsewhere are doing it. http://www.con-telegraph.ie on Facebook and Twitter as well.
