I’ve added a couple of things to Created in Birmingham that you might not have noticed, especially if you don’t tend to visit the site itself because of the genius that is RSS.
Calendar/Listings
On the listings page (there’s a link below the title of the blog too) I’ve embedded a calendar from my own GCal account.
I use that calendar to keep track of the various events covered on CiB, plus a few added extras. If you use Google Calendar (and possibly several others, like iCal and maybe Outlook) then you can subscribe to the CiB calendar too.
The listings page also pulls in a feed from Live Brum showing the day’s events.
CiB on Twitter
There’s a Created in Birmingham Twitter account too at http://twitter.com/createdinbrum. I tend to use this to flag up events that are happening nearer the time, kinda like a reminder service.
Before the non-Twitterers among you switch off, these work as free SMS updates too. Just send:
follow + createdinbrum
to 07624 801423 and you’ll get those CiB updates as free text messages. Pretty groovy, no?
