Reality CV

Council websites tend to provide very dry information. It’d be good to associate real experiences with that information. Social media allows this. And here’s a good topic as an example.

Street parties. Many Councils outline the process. They may even say they encourage street parties. But the list of requirements – baldly stated, as they should be – seems more a discouragement.

This street-level report by Ed Mitchell is fantastic. Imagine how it’d work alongside Council information – whether as just a link, a quoted section, some photos used with permission.

And then, what if more residents reported back with their experiences or even just some photos?

Real knowledge sharing, bottom up, aligned with Council’s community goals. And probably, more street parties.

¹ This could be achieved automatically by tags – suggest a unique tag on your web page – or create a group in Flickr or Facebook. Probably best to provide a range of options, including an email form and mailto: link.
