Hi Skip,
Many thanks for your feedback on JumbleTown. As you rightly say, JumbleTown hasn’t managed to attract many Givers and Takers in the West and Northwest so far. It’s partly due to demographics (population numbers and density) but also a lack of public awareness of the site in these regions.
As JumbleTown has a miniscule marketing budget, we’ve had to rely on the benevolence and interest of the general public and the media to promote the site. In the past few months, JumbleTown personnel have contacted practically all of the national and local media. We’ve had some great coverage in Munster and Leinster but very little in Connaght and Ulster. We’ve done interviews on over a dozen radio stations around the country, but so far in the North Midlands and West, only Shannonside Radio (the “Deirdre Kelly Show”) and Clare FM ("Morning Focus") have managed to fit us into their busy schedules. We hope it’s only a matter of time before other stations and papers find room for us.
JumbleTown is very grateful to the general public and the media for all their help so far. Some Local Authorities, environmental groups, and a number of non-environment related websites have also kindly put up links to JumbleTown.
