grassroots social media: nosey in newtown

By on September 8, 2008 in social media

i stumbled upon this gem of a site: nosey in newtown and it probably represents the best example of social media at a grassroots level.

the blogger known only as “nosey” writes about her local area newtown, an bohemian suburb in the inner west of sydney. it’s a colourful community consisting of an eclectic mix of artists, students, yuppies and a vibrant gay and lesbian community.

“nosey” manages to find some little hidden gems in her suburb which i have frequented in the past, being a resident in a neighbouring suburb. i have never stopped to notice the little gems written on the walls and the personality she has uncovered right under our “noses”.

that’s why i love social media. one person’s very special point of view can be presented to a worldwide audience.

i found it really hard to believe that it wasn’t run by some community organisation when i asked nosey about her site. it’s just her site, no organisation or commercial entity!

great site nosey!

    I have had some good experiences with the neighbors, and then some bad ones. LOL I don't mind when they call and tell me a window is broken, someone is parked in the driveway, etc. But those that call me at 2:00 AM and start screaming at me because the lawn isn't mowed or the newspaper is not off the front porch make me want to scream. All in all, if they are willing to be the 'lookout' it's a good deal.
