Launching a EU policy blogging platform (2007)
I lead the team that created Blogactiv.eu, the first blogging platform focused on EU policies, for an eponymous subsidiary owned by independent EU media EurActiv.com. It went live in October 2007.
PS I left EurActiv a few months later, after winning the MyParl project and steering its inception phase. A few months after that I launched my own blog on Blogactiv with a post about the launch, and what I learnt from my moment of fame as EuroSceptic Hate Figure of the Month, October 2007. I stopped blogging there in 2017.
PPS Once EurActiv had used BlogActiv to establish their Web2.0 bona fides they kept it alive without seeming to know what to do with it until 2021, when they abruptly closed it without warning (almost) anyone. Fortunately I'd kept a WordPress export so I was able to import the posts (lacking images, comments, and with broken links galore) into this Hub.
