Poplus- A tribe of like minds with useful digital tools

We have discovered a group of people already building useful software components to promote democracy. In part run by the prolific MySociety group based in the UK they offer great tools to use for developing your ideas (see these examples). These include discussion forums, geolocation maps, politician profiling etc.

This is a great resource for thinking about the challenge of helping the UN and the public to have a more effective relationship. Also, why not target creating something that can be shared on Poplus in future? A great way to shoot for the traction prize!
