Down Llanelli way there's a spirited attempt being made to provide a community-based online news and information service.
http://www.llanellitown.com/ is a social enterprise founded by enthusiasts who aim to help in the regeneration and continuing development of the Llanelli district by promoting the area in any way they can.
Eunydd Thomas, Jason Lovell and Jonathan Williams say: "We aim to work with local government and agencies to achieve this."
The Llanelli News button flashes through to a busy Scarlets-heavy blog, the Local News tab clicks straight through to the Llanelli Star's http://www.thisiscarmarthenshire.co.uk/ and the What's On button takes the reader through to a nicely presented listings service which will grow with time and support.
Advertising in the Business Directory is £120 for national companies and an encouraging £60 for local businesses. Small local business is offered an ad platform of £1.14/week.
It's got a long way to go, http://www.llanellitown.com/, but pin it on your favourites bar - all these small guys merit support because its they who are rebuilding super-local information supplies across the UK.
