    Naomi Diamond spoke about the new £80 million Government funded programme to train 5,000 community organisers over the next fours years. The organisers, who will be recruited and hosted by local community organisations will listen to residents in their homes, on the street and where they gather, and they will listen to public service and third sector workers, small businesses and local institutions to help ‘develop their collective power to act together for the common good, as identified locally’.

And Facebook does not make it easy for you to tap into the degrees of separation for local recommendations a la LinkedIn. Equally difficult has been the hyperlocal media movement, which has done a fine job at broadcast (in some places) but has largely failed to add viable social curation tools to the mix.
