Hiya

Revisiting this project. (Circa 2008) There has been a veritable explosion of new work this area -

I'll archive this wiki and put up some sort of landing page on the .com http://socialhabitat.com

In the meantime

Twitter is here http://twitter.com/#!/socialhabitat

Delicious bookmarks are here http://www.delicious.com/virtualtoolshed/socialhabitat

What's This About?

How can public tools and information help us better know our local area?

I'm tinkering with mashups, PLE's, ajax, the pragmatic web, local data and search tools.
I have been inspired by existing public information projects and local media models.

Early days, enjoy the pageflakes and thanks for stopping by.
Comments, queries and suggestions are welcome.

Prototyping with Pageflakes

The first pageflakes were created for a regional food security group

Notes

• How can I make a pageflake for my location?
• What is "Social" about Social Habitat?
• What did I learn that was helpful and interesting?
• What is missing and what is a good way to collect it?
• Is there a better way of presenting this information?
