Hull Digital, the Digital Community for Kingston Upon Hull Hits 100 Members

Kingston Upon Hull has been lacking a community devoted to online evangelists, technologists, developers, designers and start-ups. This changed at the beginning of 2009 with the launch of http://www.hulldigital.co.uk, and has made a strong impression on the city and the people who are involved in the digital and online space. It has just reached the milestone of 100 members.
