UK: Telegraph to integrate user-generated content across its website
Posted by Kelley Vendeland on May 9, 2008 at 9:28 AM
The relaunch of the redesigned MyTelegraph site this summer will see user generated content integrated across other areas of Telegraph.co.uk, said Telegraph communities editor Shane Richmond at the PPA conference. Accoring to Richmond, plans are in place "to take user content into other areas of Telegraph.co.uk to advertise and integrate the service." The updated MyTelegraph service will also include new tools enabling users to upload multimedia conference, reports Journalism.co.uk.
The Telegraph opted to redesign the site following the closure of Intersource, the company that built the site's original platform.
In the interim, MyTelegraph (see image), which currently has 18,000 registered users, has been housed at Telegraph HQ, Richmond said.
"That left us in a very precarious position. We had a lack of experience in running the site," he said.
The revamped site will be run on a platform created by American company ONESite.
