MySociety

These guys have some intresting stuff! They have two goals of sort, to enable people to find out about/enguage in civic/community activities, and to show other how they can use the internet to improve lives.

Their most recent envolvment was about the MP’s vote on conceling their expensis! Here is Tom’s blog on it (Blimey it looks like the internets won), and the facebook group with over 8,000 members (WE WIN! I object to MPs concealing their expenses).

Here is a list of their projects:

• TheyWorkForYou
• No 10 Petitions Website
• FixMyStreet
• PledgeBank
• WhatDoTheyKnow
• Travel maps
• WriteToThem
• HearFromYourMP
• GroupsNearYou
