Post-project depression is not limited to election campaigns – ask anyone who’s ever rolled out a major site. The post-launch emptiness is positively frightening.

The obvious solution, of course, is to not stop, or even slow down. Keep some sort of campaign going for 5 years, rather than for the 6 months preceding each election, and who knows? Participation rates might just start going up! ;-)

Impossible for the team you have, of course, but the thing with social media is that the term ‘team’ should be replaced with ‘community’, which is bigger.

Don’t give up :) There are still some very interesting topics around the EP: first of all stories on the negotiations for the EP president. But also explaining the different roles in the EP (president, group leaders, head of delegations). Finally how will things work with the Lisbon Treaty and so on.

C’mon guys ! The campaign has been recognized as highly sucessful, original, well built and informative. Same remark for THE night of June 7.

No reason to feel down and, as I see it, new challenges are already appearing in the European Parliament. So… A bit of rest and on the road again !

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but speaking about new goals, projects and deadlines – I have a small suggestion on my blog for those of you who won’t be rushing off to green pastures during the coming weeks.

Regards,

Ralf

Sums it up really. Relief and relaxation come with a strong “now what?” feeling. http://tiny.cc/mpiyT
