Twitter Live From Ventnor Town Council

10, Mar 2009 in Media, Tweets, Ventnor

Twitter Live From Ventnor Town CouncilYou’ll have seen that we thought that the Ventnor Town Council meeting was going to be well attended and quite exciting last night … well relatively at least.

It was.

Turn out was pretty high, with about 40-45 people making it along.

We’ve got more pieces coming about about it, but to have a catchup on what was covered, have a quick run through the Tweets (that’s postings on Twitter) that we did live from there last night.
