MindMunity
I’m going to mention a project right at the very start of its life and I’m wishing it the very best of luck.
It’s called the Mindmunity and it is a blog dedicated to the creation of a community of like minded individuals sharing and improving ideas.
The Mindmunity team have put together a fun video to explain their concept. You can see it here
There is a kinship here with Shared Creation. SC shares news, ideas and projects to help out with creative projects. Whilst Mindmunity openly publishes and refines ideas. I think in a way I was bound to like this idea.
Taking a look at the website the MindMunity team are making full use of the current wave of online communities. This is a good idea. If you want to talk you need to go where the people are.
There have been ideas communities in the past, but the ones I can remember seeing have taken the form of a forum. I think blogs, micro-blogs and social networks area good modern take on this idea. Not just because these are the way of doing things right now, but because it raises accessability. Future readers and contributors of Mindmunity can work from their comfort zone, and probably create better output as a result.
Good luck Mindmunity.
