Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Well, well, well! And a BIG THANK YOU to you all
Just happened to notice on an speciliast recruitment website (of all places) an article from another of the Catalyst short-listed sites through which I learned that Harringay Online was second in the Catalyst People's Choice Award.
A big thank you to everyone who voted - amazing that our wee little site got the second largest number of votes against the array of nationally and internationally supported "competition". Incredible.
Here's the paragraph from the article:
"We came third overall which was fantastic for us. The first place went to Freeconomy which had 4 times the votes of anyone else. This a community based on swapping skills and tools for free and living in a money less society. It had been featured on the BBC and has a huge following. And we were very close to Haringey online which had a huge community established and a whole council voting so we did exceptionally well."
Mmm....okay more than a little exaggeration about Harringay Online (if only she knew the truth about what many of the Council think of us) but the poor pet obviously felt the need to explain away her third place. Me? I'm absolutely delighted we scored so well and offer unbegrudging congratulations to what I'm sure was a well-deserved first place to Freeconomy.

I trust you've forwarded the young lady in question a link to the 'Harringay, Haringey, so good they named it twice' article as well as to the Wikipedia articles.
But ,yes, didn't this little old social network do well!

So, we've sold out to Haringey Council, have we? Yeah, all that talk about Charter Flights of fancy - I should have known. Well, that should take care of the funding. Nice one, folks! I'm joining Margaret in Timbuktu.
