Yo Bendigo's launch was featured on ABC Online Central Victoria article "Yo Bendigo website is go":

Murrindindi Shire signs up for Youth Portal
The Victorian municipality of Murrindindi Shire is probably best known for the devastation its towns including Marysville and Kinglake experienced during the 2009 February Bushfires. The council has signed up to Datalink's Youth Portal as a means to lift the spirits of local young people. It will also be used as a key platform to communicate important bushfire prevention and relief information to young people.
The project to design and implement the Youth Portal will begin in the coming weeks.

The Shire of Yarra Ranges is using Youth Portal to run an online video competition.
Called "Bravado", the website has streaming videos for all of the films and allows a winner be chosen by online vote, however only one vote is allowed per person and voting is open for a limited time. The app was built by Datalink by modifying the multimedia template in Youth Portal. It uses a cookie based system, combined with IP validation to ensure the integrity of the voting.
During the festival, the Yarra Ranges Youth Portal attracted over 300 visitors a day.
The winner of Best Film and Best Actor is to be announced during National Youth Week 2010.
