New Media Awards 2007

Mike Rouse

http://www.18doughtystreet.com

Nominated in Young innovator award category.

Mike Rouse is one of the few political geeks and has helped a great number of projects either get off the ground or through a sticky patch. From John Redwood, Tory Radio, Conservative Home and Iain Dale to the massive 18 Doughty Street he has the talent to deliver projects both small and large on time and to a very high standard. At 23 he made the brave decision to become an innovator of web technologies alone and has achieved great success as well as helping to keep democracy healthy with all the projects he's involved with.

Without Mike Rouse there would be no 18 Doughty Street as the technology was largely absent on his arrival. Then, there's the smaller projects he's taken on to help bloggers through tough technical patches from monthly surveys to sidebar graphics. He's the man that can on the right side of politics and without him the blogosphere would be a less technically-able place!
