As you can see not only are we playing around with the look of the site (and watch this space for a radical new look coming soon!), but we have also been playing around with new names for the site and we have come up with Web Connect Community Reporters.

Web Connect is a partnership of local community portal sites which is co-ordinated by MCIN.

The aim of the network is to empower local communities in Greater Manchester by improving access to appropriate, accessible public, private and community and voluntary services through community portal sites. These sites are virtual communities that provide a sense of community and belonging, a wide range of local jobs as well as a chance to showcase the vibrancy and sense of place of the community.

And as you know the Community Reporters will be feeding news and information into these virtual communities and contributing to that vibrancy and sense of place - in short connecting people through the web.

Post a comment and let us know what you think of the new name.
