What Do They Know FOI requests to the LGO
Monday, February 1st, 2010Twitter now added to news page
Monday, February 1st, 2010Just to refresh, any post submitted by anyone to this news input blog is automatically fed into the latest news page The latest 6 news items posted are shown on the news page but all posts are archived on the blog. The only condition is that it must about Ombudsmen or administrative justice in one way or another. Spam and inappropriate posts are removed
We also feed the last 6 blog posts from a number of blogs directly into the news page. If you click on the underlined blog title you will be taken to the home page of their blog, if you click on the underlined article title you will be taken to that particular post so you can read more on that story. If you have a blog or website which can generate an RSS feed and you would like it added please send me the link. Examples can be seen on the news page. Up to now we have three blog feeds, Trevor’s, Jagger’s and Lillian’s. It is important that RSS feeds are from continually updated sources so they do not become to static.
We have also just added twitter RSS feeds so if you twitter about administrative justice, an ombudsman or a council please send us your twitter RSS link and we will add it to the page. Again the last 6 tweets are shown but you can visit the tweeter’s home page or an individual tweet or even a link within a tweet.
All systems go!
Monday, April 27th, 2009Anyone can input news about UK Local Government and Public Service Ombudsmen into our new system. Once submitted via the news input blog and verified it is inserted automatically into the on-line Ombudsman Watchers News Paper. This on-line newspaper can be accessed by readers from either the LGO Watch home page, the PSOW Home page or the Ombudsman Watchers home page.
More advanced news reader
Sunday, April 26th, 2009Very shortly we will be adding an improved news reader that can import news from the What Do They Know website as well as others that we can’t currently read. This should substantially increase the amount of ombudsman relevant news available on this page.
