<nettime> Everyday citizens being local online - request for examples |
Next week I will be giving a speech titled, "Everyday Citizens: Community Life in the Information Age." I've been gathering interesting local examples and plan to share them more widely as well. The full announcement for this Minneapolis speech is here: http://www.dowire.org/notes/index.php?p=3D15 What I need are great examples for a promised handout.=20 I recently slapped up a wiki page on the use of the Internet in the UK elections. It took off <http://www.dowire.org/wiki/UK_elections>, so let's do that with this request as well. I have about a dozen or more previous submissions to add to this draft list, please join me as we create a living list of where to look for local lessons in everyday citizenship online. Add links and descriptions from this page in the appropriate category (feel free to add categories): http://www.dowire.org/wiki/Everyday_citizens 1 Block clubs and small areas 2 Neighborhoods and neighborhood organizations 3 Rural areas 4 City-wide citizen initiatives and forums 5 Schools and parent teacher associations 6 Service clubs using online tools extensively 7 Developing country examples 8 Local government planning sites with interactive mapping 9 Local government "e-democracy" efforts 10 Crime alerts, citizen watch 11 Local statistics, mapping 12 Local and mobile 13 Local e-advocacy with public interactivity 14 Local public official blogs or e-newsletters 15 Local blogger networks or RSS aggregation sites 16 Locally focused long-term blogs 17 Local citizen-based online journalism 18 Media-based locally focused online interactivity 19 Best local uses of Flickr 20 Best local uses of "folksonomy" 21 Commerical efforts covering many local places 22 Local interest Podcast 23 New or hopeful initiatives Thanks, Steven Clift P.S.
