Glad to see that Tom & Matt have made the decision to do Day 2 on the forum.
Having done a little of this in the past it is incredibly hard just keeping on top of things let alone running back to a laptop constantly to add forum, FB & Twitter posts on a regular and informative (and accurate) basis.
I think you"d agree Paulie, it"s nigh on impossible to do an update justice on your own. There"s so much going on at critical times, if Matt is the only one posting, then content is going to be missed.
I do agree and I have a vested interest, as in the interests of full disclosure, I offered my services as an updater for several events this year. APAT are trying this approach first, I understand, judge whether they wish to continue with it.
I fully understand that the economics of having two compensated updaters onboard is a tricky one for APAT so the balance between giving the members what that want and what APAT is willing to afford is always going to be a delicate one.
I feel that FB is a limited tool as updates only go to people you choose to befriend rather than the wider APAT audience.
I don"t think anyone is suggesting 2 compensated updaters, are they?...
It depends on what you mean by 2
What I meant was two people doing constant forum updates of which, if I may, Tighty and Leigh were the best examples.
At present, it appears (and perhaps it"s only an impression) that everything flows through you on the updating front. Now I know that"s not purely the case as Tom is obviously there but both you and he have a great deal to do during the day including liasing with the venue, player relations, sponsor relations and more.
So perhaps what I meant was one more (rather than two) updater who"s only role is to actually update.
Of course, for reasons I mentioned above, I"m not a disinterested party here.
