One comment
Is it just me or did subdividing your web brand into umpteen spacing sub-genres totally kill off your audience? I remember there used to be real comment threads here… not so much now. … You have spacingtoronto, spacingmontreal, spacingatlantic, it’s like every time I visit spacing.ca the message I get is that what I’m interested in reading about (ie my city and not all the others) is less important than the Gift of Spacing itself…. People want to read about their towns, not ‘Canada brought to you by Spacing’ Not sure I’m being clear about this,and I think you mean well but the effect of all the different subtitles is alienating. The web branding needs to step back into the background and stop subdividing like some sort of Tim Horton’s of public space.
