He does old fashioned blog engagement really well, the kind of thing the big two just don't do. Matt - I liked the Mark Pack piece, Mark’s always worth a look.

But I’m not being cynical nor making a judgement - just observing on the approach they seem to be taking, which seems to be around “Birmingham New Media” rather than “Conservative Bloggers”.

It is a different route than (say) the Lib Dems, so it is interesting. There are possible cynical comments, of course - but I didn’t make them.

>I guess Rishi Saha understands the benefits of doing it properly but had to interest the higher echelons in the MSM halo effect in order to get it prioritised.

I don’t agree totally - there have been *really* serious bloggers right at the top for some time (Boris Johnson, John Redwood for two).

Just the peeps you've mentioned and the ones coming out in the comments here. Guessing it's going to be like another Birmingham bloggers meet. Nope, not got a full list.

Screen West Midlands did contact me, but as I already have a pass, there wasn't much point having me on the list. Look forward to seeing any of you guys there.
