Long gone are days when you had to await the arrival of the newspaper to find out what has been going on in the local area. Whether you choose to head to the internet like this web developer tends to do, or turn on the TV, chances are that you will be able to get clued up on the recent local headlines. Those lucky enough to be living in areas such as Stockton or Middlesbrough have a wide variety of services dedicated to bringing you news on the latest Off Licence robbery or Chav brawl. If you are still waiting for the 6 o’clock news or relying on the Gazette for your daily news fix, feast your eyes on some of the more up to date, electronic versions of what’s going on in Teesside.
Gazette Live
The Gazette Live service is the online version of the popular local newspaper. Unlike the print version, the online service has real time updates on any breaking stories including all of the latest sport and traffic information. Boro fans will be able to check up on all the latest news on the team, a feature that is definitely appreciated by this web designer! The online Gazette has all of the familiar columns, adverts and supplements that the print version has, along with a variety of blogs and interactive facilities.
Stockton Jobs
Those looking for jobs in and around the Stockton area will appreciate the new Twitter profile that Tweets its followers about brand new jobs available in the region. Many people may still be sceptical about the use of Twitter as a serious platform however hundreds of local businesses are already signed up to the social networking site. If you get tired waiting for the weekly printed jobs section in the paper, get yourself a Twitter and start following @Stockton_Jobs_
Teesside Nightlife
Not so long ago, finding out about upcoming club nights and gigs was either by word of mouth or by picking up a flyer from a club/takeaway and finding it in your bag the morning after. The evolution of sites such as Twitter and Facebook has led to clubs being able to promote their nights through mass emails, newsletters and status updates. Users can join groups and access special offers such as free guest list or simply find out what’s going on each night. Venues such as The Empire, Cornerhouse, The Crown and even Zanzibar have their own Facebook pages that are updated regularly. Log on and make sure you add your favourite night spots; here are a few to get you started!
