Pretty well exhausted but always room for more ...

NOTE: This is content from the web re:Brand posts going back to November 2010. We have kept the re:Brand posts as a legacy archive but, on a go forward basis as of October, 2011, the new DATA eh? content takes over this space.


... and that's about it for the re:Brand posts for the next while.

We're in analysis mode and taking things in.  The Lucky 7 post is your ticket to continue adding thoughts. Please do as we're not stopping listening to user reactions.

How LOST and toronto.ca are similar

OK an admission here ... I'm still watching LOST but wishing we would just get the thing over with. The only reason I'm still hanging in is because of all the time invested in the program over its run.  So, I'm a bit hostile to it.  That being out-of-the-way, here's what I was thinking this week after viewing the Adam and Eve episode:

I thought of our website and the road we've been on for the last few years getting up to speed on making changes etc.  Like the main characters on LOST, we've encountered some similar obstacles.
Our city is sometimes called the "Big Smoke" , LOST has the Black Smoke.

Hello Fijnaart, Gijón, Bandung and Urbandale ...

A cool thing I've always loved about the web is how items go viral and people from anywhere find you.  In the case of the re:Brand, stats are showing visits from all over the place.  In fact, there are many readers who seem to be following us from afar.

More doing business on web suggestions

NOTE: This is content from the web re:Brand posts going back to November 2010. We have kept the re:Brand posts as a legacy archive but, on a go forward basis as of October, 2011, the new DATA eh? content takes over this space.

A while ago we posted a request for business users to tell us how they use/want to use the toronto.ca web.  We just posted to YouTube Part 3 of the video series where we interview business owners about their needs.
Let us know if you support the kinds of adds Joe talks about.
