Hi Net2, I just sent the first screenshot to the developer working on "A Mashup of 29+ Social Action Platforms". We have built a Ruby on Rails database that parses RSS feeds from social action platforms. The plan is to also create an open API for any third party application to use when building their own mashups of peer-to-peer social change campaigns. Very exciting.

Above is a screenshot of the search form and the format of how we'll probably display the results.

Hi Net2,

I've put together a video from my presentation at the NY Tech Meetup. The video contains remixed excerpts about my project proposal in the MashUp Challenge. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

In other news, "A Mashup of 29+ Social Action Platforms" now has a 'lead engineer'. Cameron Booth, a developer with ZaZengo, will be leading the initial build out on this project. Our goal is to produce the first proof of concept before the voting starts on March 17. Other helping hands are needed. Please let me know if you're interested.

All the best, Peter
