Blogging has been considered a revolution (or disruptive technology) for media publishers worldwide, allowing just about anyone (who can operate a computer shall we say) to publish their own digital content and voice their opinion.

On the other hand, it has been criticised for "clogging" the internet sphere with useless information, absurd pictures and viral content, that someone one day will need to clear up and put out in the trash.

After six months of extensive collaborative strategic planning, creative design and technical developments the RACT website has been launched. The launch of the website represents the first stage of a multiple stage development, with each stage focusing on specific goals and objectives.

The first stage has focused on a complete front end redevelopment, modifying the look and feel of the website to provide improved navigation and to better integrate the RACT's various products and services offerings under one easy-to-find location.

The second stage will further increase user functionality by including concepts identified as desirable during  member and customer  usability testing, conducted by Usability One.  Features such as the ability to transact business online as well as integrating web based business with the ability to talk to a customer service consultant about products and services will be available in the first half of 2009.

Future Medium are pleased to announce the launch of a new online resource to help track progress on the benchmarks identified by the Tasmania Together progress board in conjunction with the Tasmanian community.

The system provides complete reporting, searching and browsing capabilities for the vast amount of data collected as part of the benchmarking process, and provides an attractive display of textual and graphical content within the existing Tasmania Together website.

Additionally, Future Medium developed a comprehensive web-application to ease the entry and maintenance of the benchmarking data, including a workflow process to ensure that new content could be entered and reviewed while still maintaining existing live content on the website.

We are extremely excited to be involved with Tasmania Together, as it is unique in Australia and one of only a handful in the world that have undertaken such a broad review of community expectations and given such a high level of community involvement to the process.
