Dublin-based Wendy’s has gone somewhere and done something which no man or woman has gone or done before.
Wendy’s® teamed up with creators in Meta’s Horizon Worlds to make (virtual) dreams come true with the grand opening of the Wendyverse™ in Horizon Worlds on April 2. Virtual reality has become reality as Wendyverse gives fans all-new 3D opportunities to virtually interact with each other and the brand – as only Wendy’s can.
“For years we’ve been meeting our fans in unexpected ways and places with our unique approach to social media, gaming and engagement,” said Carl Loredo, chief marketing officer for The Wendy’s Company. “We’re excited to take this to the next level by launching the Wendyverse in Meta’s Horizon Worlds and bringing a totally new dimension of access to our fans. Truly a first of its kind, the Wendyverse bridges the best of today with tomorrow to show up for our fans across every world – with a Frosty® and fries in hand.”
The Wendyverse is more than a virtual restaurant. It’s a virtual Wendy’s world that starts with a virtual Wendy’s restaurant. In the first phase of the Wendyverse, fans with a Meta Quest 2 can venture into a whole new delicious world built by community creators: More…

Welcome to 2022!
Here is something brand new for a brand new year. Perhaps for the first time in the history of Delaware County news media (as far as we are aware, that is), you are currently reading a published non-sports story which was partially written by a machine.
Could this be part of the future of local media?
It already is.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, and it can be used to do just about anything. Nowadays, your phone isn’t even fully usable without some sort of AI like Siri or Google Assistant to help you navigate it. But you may be surprised to learn that AI is also being used by the news media to help with their reporting efforts. So what does this mean for the future of the news media? More…

The City of Westerville is evaluating its next steps in broadband, which includes studying opportunities for expansion and factors related to access, cost and speed. Any initiative to come from these studies would build upon the success of WeConnect, the City’s fiber network and data center service hub.
WeConnect offers world-class support for commercial data management needs. In the future, WeConnect could offer residential services as another community amenity and expand broadband services for Westerville companies and workforce.
Completing this survey should take about five minutes. More…

As we shared several days ago, the City of Delaware has a brand-new website, one which has a series of new links and tools for citizens to access important information. That post can be read here.
One component of the new site is a dedicated video player to provide access to what the City is calling an “improved meeting management system.”
Public meeting webcasts are moving from Facebook Live to the new system, a feature of the recently updated website. Citizens and interested parties now have digital access to meeting agendas, live webcasting, video recording, and minutes in a central, searchable portal. More…

Expected to be live this Wednesday, the statement indicated that highlights of the new site will include more drop-down menus with links to services, project updates, license and permit applications, payment options, emergency preparedness, and more.

In the second decade of the twenty-first century, websites are an important component of how organizations, local governments, and businesses connect to the world. Social media works well for timely notices, but in-depth information sharing requires a means to present important information in an easy-to-find manner.
That clearly was the aim for Delaware City Schools in the recent launch of its brand-new website.
Not only have graphics changed, but so has the way that information is presented. The home page has a set of quick access links including student, parent, and staff portals; a staff directory; a link to lunch menus; and details on school safety. More…
