Duff'em If You've Got'em
North Adams Regional Hospital went smoke-free Monday — so did all its sister sites, from Sweet Brook to Northern Berkshire Family Practice to the Women's Exchange. No ashtrays, no smoking: No butts about it.
Yuck!
Today's blue skies will give way to clouds and snow tonight. But be prepared for tomorrow morning, when the white stuff will get messy as freezing rain and sleet move through the region. The morning commute will be slippery — drive careful!

IBerkshires Wants Your Opinion

Staff reports - December 20, 2007

When you visit iBerkshires, do you head straight for the sports calendar? Always check the top stories? Or maybe you prefer looking through the photo slideshows?

Anything you'd like to see more of ... like blogs, polls or reviews?

Whichever it is, let us know soon. We're asking our readers to take a short survey to give us some idea of what they like - and don't like - about iBerkshires.com. The survey won't be up for much longer so get your two cents in now!

The link for the survey can be found on the right side of the front page or here.

IBerkshires has been keeping the community informed about events, people and breaking news for years. Now, we are considering better ways to provide our readers with news that both informs and entertains.

"We really need to know what our readers expect from us," said Tammy Daniels, managing editor. "We need their input so we can do our jobs better."

The survey will only take a few minutes of your time. Most of the questions can be answered by clicking in the appropriate box; a few ask for more information.

"We are really encouraging people to be specific in answering those few questions," said Daniels. "It only takes a few minutes but it will really help us."

Encouraging greater interaction between iBerkshires.com and its readers is a top priority, she said. "We want to make it easy for people to submit news and events and to comment on stories and photos. IBerkshires.com is a community-oriented, local Web site and we are encouraging people to help us gather the news that's important to them."

There are some exciting features being considered for iBerkshires, some of which can be found on the survey. Older features are also listed to determine if they should stay or be modified.

Daniels said readers who feel the survey does not address any particular concerns they have about the Web site can contact her directly at tdaniels@iberkshires.com.

"But I urge readers to use the survey so we can better evaluate their responses," she said.

So click on our survey and tell us what you like and what you'd like to see more of on iBerkshires.com. And please, only one survey per person.
