The GeoSpatial Revolution is amazing! I cannot reccommend these videos more highly, 15 minutes of pur excitement of the possiblities of higher integration of GIS systesms into public service delivery and empowerment of citzens.
I am very fond of the second episode where it showcases the work of The Food Trust an organisation fightting to reintroduce urban supermarkets in order to comabt childhood obesity.
Also of note are the amazing applications created by the City of Portland, who are empowering there citzens to report potholes and graffetti along with a host of other things.
