WalesOnline-You can get twitter there?

Whilst scanning the net the other day, I came across the most peculiar site, WalesOnline. As the name suggests, this site deals with all things Welsh. Aesthetically, it looked like any other news site. It contained very user friendly tabs within a  navigation for ease of manoeuvring through the site. However, what struck me as most peculiar was the content itself.It is typical for online news organisation such as the Guardian or the Telegraph to host both domestic and international, as is the norm in any newspaper. However,WalesOnline contains no international coverage. Instead, every article on that site focuses on Wales. Does this not alienate potential audience members.? I  mean, some of their content isn’t even in English.

I am pleased with the site in all other areas. Their site hosts video and audio, provides their audience with polls to take poart in , and generally are quite a well organised and manufactured site.

In addition to this, it is possible to get Twitter Feeds or Tweets from the site direct to your computer or mobile.

All in all, I find the site quite satisfying, apart from the lack of international news.
