Here's a quick overview of prominent Labour & Trade Union social media initiatives for a talk I'm giving to TU organisers. I know I've not included 'False Economy' here yet, but are there any others that I've missed? (They are in no particular order btw):
•Left Foot Forward: 80k unique visitors per month –
winner of last two Total Politics 'Left Wing Blog of the Year'
- very effective myth-busting on pensions & has seized the economic
agenda a few times recently
•Liberal Conspiracy: 100k to 120k unique visitors a month. Liberal-left,
pushed to take off
advertisers from News of the World. Led anti-Rod Liddle campaign when he was being lined up as Independent
Editor.
•Compass: Claims 50,000 members + contact with many ex-Labour
members. Used to be very active on Facebook, but restrictions there may have
reduced activity
•Labour List: 60k – 70k unique visitors. Big-name occasional
contributors (Ed Milliband, Ed Balls & Gordon
Brown)
•Labour Uncut: (still trying to get the figures)
•Left Futures: Main Labour left
blog. 6,500 unique visitors a month. Helps to create the community
around the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy – the parliamentary left
•38 Degrees: Email subscription
and crowdsourced campaigning. Notable
successes on NHS Reform and forestry privatisation.
Any obvious omissions?
