The Organic City is a thesis project created by the combined efforts of Seamus Byrne and Sarah Mattern, students in CSU East Bay’s Multimedia Graduate Program.
The project seeks to connect with the community through this website where you can find and tell stories about local places. In addition, the project offers mobile media that can be experienced onsite with mobile media players and Pocket PC’s.
“Ultimately, we hope the project will allow us to explore the relationships between place, story, and community; as well as the ways in which new technologies can enhance our appreciation for these important components of human identity and experience.”

Nice idea. There is a project called outside.in (http://www.outside.in) with similar objective. It’s a community composed by the local blogs around USA. It’s a simple idea too, to read blogs about the zone were you live, stories that happends around you.
Very interesting!
