David Barrie replied to David Wilcox's discussion 'Why I think this group is important' in the group Local communities

Great point. and exactly right. i find the same. it's the people, not their collective allegiance that matters.

For me, the most effective site at aggregating and making sense of a massive field is Global Voices. It has combined mainstream media / academic involvement with volunteer effort (a community of 200 bloggers, according to the website) in a way that…

Slightly adjacent topic, but OpenlyLocal is a new project for extracting and aggregating local authority info and making it accessible through a variety of APIs (so far html, XML, json and RDFa). Keen to have local groups contact me and tell me how…
