Myjamfactory is a residents' association site serving the residents of a development in a little corner of SE1. As a locality-based site it has a collaborative map to allow residents to suggest sites of interest like restaurants and shops, as well as local news and weather. The associated 'Planning' page builds on the community aspect by coordinating responses to local planning issues.
A great example of how an online community enhances the activity of a 'real life' one.
