Sometime ago, I wrote a post about VOB realised that updating it’s website on a regular basis is paramount to drawing traffic to it’s site. In a typical case of the “newness” having worn off, the VOB website is once again in a state of lethargy.

If the Local News page is to be believed, nothing significant has happened in Barbados between Friday and today, the 18th of January at 7:15pm.

Asleep at the wheel again

Will they ever understand the power of the Internet?

Statue of Rip Van Winkle

Rip Van Winkle awakens from his slumber

Like Rip Van Winkle, the folks at VOB and NationLogic (who may be running the site) seems to have awoken from their deep slumber, returned to the village and realised that maybe updating their website on a regular basis would be a good idea. It seems that the light bulb has finally come on. After all, the internet connection has been paid for and Sunbeach should have been paid up for offering DNS.

In an earlier post we had a look at the VOB929.9 website which we are prompted to visit at the end of almost every 92.9 newscast.

A visit to the site today, shows that the Barbados Election banner has been removed, a new ad has been placed and the scrolling Top News stories carry headlines about yesterday’s budget presentation, and the Grenada Elections while the Market Vendor files are now current.

How long will this continue? Don’t know, but we’ll keep watching.
