Crowdsource a cool place in your city

The goal of this social network and accompanying blog is to inspire people to crowdsource the kinds of places, events and scenes that they know should exist, but don't. Here's how:

Create a new Group to start crowdsourcing the kind of project you'd like to see in your city or neighborhood. Is it a coffeehouse? A coworking site? Attainably-priced lofts? You define the vision, then start attracting people to build up a crowd. What's next? Once you build up a sizable crowd of at least a hundred people; a beta community, we'll help you find a 'Sponsor', that is, an entrepreneur willing to work with your group to implement your collective vision. We'll call it the CoolTown Crowdsourced Placemaking Challenge.

Do you suppose it's possible to embed something like Bubbly in a Ning site? I'm trying to use my site as a crowdsourcing hub, and right now I'm at a tricky point where I've got about a dozen other users, and I want to start offering them something m…

I'm trying to get something similar started in Freeport, Ill., population 26,000 (and falling). I asked Neil about it (see the CoolTown blog), and his response was that it might be necessary to begin with just 30 people or so getting together to cre…
