Just found read this now. Here's my take: <br><br>On our destination marketing organization (dmo) website, we have a blog set up - hellobc.com/blogs. It works well but it does need improvements. One specific improvement is displaying recent comments (as you suggested). I think if users see interaction within the site that may encourage participation. Also adding profile info on our bloggers would help in getting users to identify with our blog personalities and their posts.<br><br>One specific social media project that has been a huge success is our field reporter program. We hired field reporters and sent them to various parts of British Columbia (youtube.com/bcfieldreporter). It was a great way to create awareness for our province and it encouraged other community dmo's to participate i.e. either hiring their own or using our field reporter to cover their community.

I guess customization is a good thing. I encourage most folks to start with a Free Wordpress Account to get started blogging. Content can easily enough be moved to a hosted wordpress blog for not much more than a few bucks and a customized theme, heck a hundred bucks can get you Thesis to play with. 6 Large, for something people can do themselves for like $20/yr.

I'm surprised I didn't see this one earlier. A lot of what you discuss in your post revolves around the central idea of connecting and creating relationships with people. Making the site more interactive, inviting bloggers to interact, encourage sharing of media, all revolve around the central premise of engagement and interaction. This is especially true with tourism sites because tourism is all about experiences and what better way to promote an experience then through the sharing of stories, images, and video.
