We just launched a new version of the website, and boy are my arms tired. The new site has tons of extra features, many of which are too nerdy to discuss here.
The BizWire lets any Richmond business (with a membership) to share news about itself. We’ll also be adding video and podcasts to our stories. After going through this process twice in the last year, I know now that it might take a few weeks before the site fully incorporates all the bells and whistles we want.
The latest version – which we’re calling BizSense 1.3 because it sounds cool and like we know what we’re doing – should be easier to navigate than its previous incarnations. In the coming weeks and months we plan to gear up our news coverage, and the new site provides easier access to that information.
We hope the site will also facilitate more conversation with and about the community we cover. BizSense demolishes the traditional barrier between the reporters who gather news and the businesses owners who make and read the news. Our growing cadre of reporters is eager to find out what’s really happening in local business. And we’re eager to learn what stories need reporting. Please email any ideas or tips to [email protected]. When appropriate, we use anonymous sources to make sure our readers get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
We think of ourselves more in the open-source category – like Wikipedia – than the old-school newspapers. Along those lines, we’re also still accepting proposals from local small businesses who want to be included on our blogs page (still under development).
We’ll also be updating our schedule weekly so sources can let us in on what they know.
Information, after all, aspires to be free.
And please let us know what you think of the new site.
