Woodstock Early Bird is three months old!
We are pleased to announce that while we were running around YOU were checking in!
We have now passed the high mark of 100,000 views!
That’s a big WOW!
One day last week, following the devastation wrought on our little community by Tropical Storm Irene, 30,000 people in one day checked in to Woodstock Early Bird!
Woodstock Early Bird was started as a way to fill a bit of an information gap in Woodstock news. It was my goal to attend and report on municipal meetings that were not being covered anywhere else and to also offer some humor and a lighter, more personal style of writing. In addition, Woodstock Early Bird wanted the freedom to pursue stories that might not be covered anywhere else and to include points of view that might not be found elsewhere. Finally, I just wanted to write and have fun. See what could be done. It began from simple photo posts on a Facebook page taken during morning walks with the dog. And as you have heard me use the French before, “Eh, voila: Woodstock Early Bird!”
Woodstock Early Bird is now serving a purpose and I am grateful to be able to help. It reminds me of how — at one time — folks would gather around their radios to hear the latest news. That is still one way of getting information. But, now, more than ever we gather around our phones for the latest information, united as a community through the pathways the internet provides.
Thanks, Early Birds for all your support!
