The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
27 May (Part 3) - The Wizard of Oz
Probably not many readers are nerdy enough to have noticed that every change
to Bexley is Bonkers is announced via RSS (Really Simple Syndication) but not
everyone understands it or subscribes to an RSS news reader so for the past ten months a
Twitter announcement has gone out too. Probably I am old fashioned but it seems rather
intrusive to push everything under everyone’s nose so Tweets are restricted to
blogs I arbitrarily consider ‘significant’. However for die-hard Twits there appears to be another way.
Some clever clogs ex-Bexley resident now living in
Sydney, Australia is running a script which regurgitates my RSS announcements
as Tweets allowing 100% of site changes to be picked up via Twitter.
