TGIF and hopefully I'm ready for a great weekend that will allow me to enjoy some time off but always not to far away from my tech gadgets. Who knew that I would be apart of the "connected people" phenom which would allow me to do stuff while mobile or in living color. Since launching this forum years ago, I've always been in search of merging the latest tech platforms and integrating them into this medium. Therefore, COP 24/7 will pivot to going more live and interactive using numerous improved web gadgets that will allow us to refresh this blog with sights and sounds as I continue to deliver our unique brand of news, updates, links, podcast and visuals. As a primary source of online info for the Arkansas LGBTQ community, this forum has been on the cutting edge of being among the first to offer original"podcasting" content that covered issues and items from a statewide perspective. We've grown from being a "some timey" outfit to a force that produces daily content while reaching out into the community as a leader and benefactor to community based organizations. And now COP 24/7 is on the move to further our vision to empower, enlighten and enrich the lives of our readers, allies, supporters and visitors. If you are not following us, opt-in e-mail. subscribing or bookmarking this blog, then we encourage you to do so. I know that there are many of you out their in cyberspace checking in and we certainly appreciate that you do. Plus we are hopeful to increase our "eyeballs" in 2012 and begin to re-market this forum as viable revenue generator. Its upward and onward and we're glad you are here to share all our new and exciting upcoming features. Keep it locked and loaded to COP 24/7!
