Groups Near You
April 17, 2008 Posted by Kevin in : Bristol , trackbackThe team at My Society have built a well earned reputation for developing effective, efficient and useful applications to give people simple and tangible benefits in the civic and community aspects of their lives.
They have followed up on the success of sites like FixMyStreet, HearFromYourMP, NotApathetic, WriteToThem and TheyWorkForYou with a new website.
The idea behind Groups Near You is that it makes it easier for people who run sites with a local component to get a regular, local feed of information about what local online groups there are that people could join if they wanted to meet their neighbours online.
The site is one of the newest from My Society but nevertheless the first Bristol groups have already begun to appear.

My Society are also working on a Freedom of Information site - WhatDoTheyKnow? It's not finished yet but it's up and running. You basically tell them what you want to know, they fire off an FoI request and the information's openly published.
This could get interesting …
