Bringing out the local character
Getgod
with elements local character and colour that bring out the
personality of a place. There's some really amazing sites out there
that are telling a community's stories, such as http://spitalfieldslife.com/
and http://www.biglittlecity.com/
It'd be quite nice to discuss ways of drawing out these elements -
such as creatively exploring places like Jon Bounds'
'psychogeographical epic' http://11bus.co.uk/ and ways of telling
these tales.
Cheers, Nicky

than local news and events - narrative, story telling about a place
are vital and often much more interesting than the news

communities, locations, colour and slang?

local slang I've ever come across is Mr Caulkhead's Isle of Wight,
whose podcasts were featured by Ventnor Blog. Absolute genius:

We can chat about different local character and ways to portray for
colourful content on a local website.

night for our Some Like It Too Hot project, that aimed to tell the
story of "How Leiths Homes Are Leaking Heat" This involves lot's of
thermal images: http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenerleith/sets/72157623804306062/
And some audio stories like this one: http://audioboo.fm/boos/114596-keith-and-kaori-energy-story
As well as a physical exhibition: http://www.greenerleith.org/greener-leith-news/2010/4/12/its-open.html
Whilst this might get a bit beyond what most people consider
"hyperlocal," it's certainly opened our eyes to how a local site and
the wonderful free social media tools out there can be used to tell
andf share stories about a place.
Would love to hear about other projects in other places, and their
experience of doing stuff like this.
