One of our goals with Issues Forums is to have community organizations adopt
feeding the stream as a normal activity. Just as folks adopt a Twitter hash tag
like #hyperlocal, we simply want lots of distributed groups without central
goading to just post. We have reached that point in some communities but not
others.
With Peter Fleck's work with the Seward Profile blog -
http://sewardprofile.posterous.com/ - I see the concept in a more news-like
visual context (Peter volunteers with our forum there as well). Of course here
Peter is quite hands-on with posting stuff by monitoring many sources.
I was wondering if others have made the distributed input "community stream"
work in their community? How? What lessons can you share?
