Publicity, links, and social media

One of the aims of this site is to provide publicity for the work that our team does; that should let prospective team members know the sorts of things we do, and encourage further interest.

To ensure that people who want to see details about the site have the best chance to, I’ve arranged with several other Coastguard sites to link back to us.

I’ve blogged externally about the site, and mentioned it on the micro-blogging service Twitter. This team also has its own Twitter account. Blog postings will be fed automatically to Twitter – and in the future, we may show live Tweets from training in the side bar.

The site has also been shown on stumbleupon and socialmedian.
