Keep up to date

We held a workshop on 15 March with Directgov, consumer representatives, digital innovators and public service providers.  Please visit  http://socialbysocial.net/group/DPSworkshoplivefeed for reports of how the day went.

    I thought one of the criticisms of directgov was the use of external websites resulting in a disjointed and unsatisfactory experience.

    So I’m very surprised that the above box subscribes you to a google group without any warning, without any chance to refuse Google, Inc’s terms and conditions, and lands you on a Google-styled webpage. Was subscribe-to-comments plugin or a UK-hosted email list not good enough for some reason?

      Hi,

      We went with Googlegroups as a quick way to set up a mailing group but take on board your comments, we’ll put a note next to the sign up to let people know what they’re joining.

      Thanks for your feedback

      Liz

    I feel that if it’s simpler to go through all Googlegroups signup and setup screens than to add a mailing list or just a plugin on your WordPress, then there’s something wrong with your hosting.

    Thanks for adding the note anyhow.
