IT is sad to see that the BBC Manchester blog has pulled down the shutters and been closed, but all good things must come to an end.
Both Robin Hamman and Richard Fair linked out to Manchester bloggers from the site, but also arranged get-togethers which I am sure helped people link up and connect in a more "real" way.
As Robin writes it is good to see that the blog has been used as a blueprint for other similar blogs within the BBC, but also highlighted by others beyond the UK as a good example of using blogs as a two-way process.
Many of the ideas, tools and techniques we used as part of the BBC Manchester Blog have since been embraced by other BBC Blogs, websites and programmes. Indeed, word about the model we created for the BBC Manchester Blog has traveled far and wide, sometimes taking us with it, influencing a number of interesting projects elsewhere.
