Live Blog: Technorati Tags for Local Election Coverage May 3rd 2007

I’m suggesting that any bloggers covering the elections as they happen use the following technorati tags for their posts:

  • local-election-2007 uk-election-2007
  • local-election-2007-scotland uk-election-2007-scotland
  • local-election-2007-england uk-election-2007-england
  • local-election-2007-wales uk-election-2007-wales
  • local-election-2007-n-ireland uk-election-2007-n-ireland

[Update: I have received a complaint that Wales is not "local", and that local elections there are next year, so I have made the changes above. I am not getting into comparisons with English regions, as the object is to produce something that is functional rather than a blog war!]

I have kept “uk” to distinguish UK elections from other countries.

Further comments?]

That way we can pick up standard RSS feeds from Technorati, and track all posts, or for the different countries.

Anyone who is really keen could go further:

  • uk-election-2007-england-midlands
  • uk-election-2007-england-nottinghamshire
  • uk-election-2007-england-nottinghamshire-scrooby-churchstreet
