Labour Party Conference: How it all stacked up in the end

With the Labour Party Conference having packed up and left the city, us bloggers can return to our more normal fare.
Looking back over the past few days of online coverage, I’ve come up with this final tally of our interactive features.
The topic which sparked the most debate during the coverage was this exclusive from blogger and journalist Peter Devine about the potential use of city apartments for social housing.
Not only has it already received more than 30 comments, but it was also the top news story for the M.E.N main site this week.
Our interactive timeline received more than 600 views, while the dedicated Twitter stream was updated with 160 interactions – many of them live as Peter frantically tweeted from his mobile phone inside the conference.
There were also four audio blogs from Jennifer Williams and a total of 30 blog posts from David Ottewell, Peter and myself.
And photographers across Manchester contributed 190 pictures to Flickr with the tag Lab08.
So what’s been the influence of all this activity? Has the Labour Party Conference changed the public’s view of the current Government?
A poll I started this morning reveals that, so far at least, it hasn’t – but there’s still time to vote so have your say below.
