@Liz_Azyan Interesting subscription numbers for those channels, which might suggest low interest but I’d be wary of making that assumption.

Hi everyone,
Knowsley MBC is also actively using Youtube – you can view our channel at http://www.youtube.com/knowsleycouncil
Best wishes,
Ryan Forrest
Huntingdonshire District Council also have one – with specialist green playlists on their way!

Given that these sites have the capacity for interactiveness, I found them pretty uninspired. Few if any comments. Sign ups seemed to include other local governments perhaps trying to beef up each other’s numbers. Certainly seemed to be more one-way that two-way method – a ‘build it and they will come’ approach to using the technology.
Don’t give up though. It’s time is coming. I think it’s all about how we make it useful for the community.
