Fiat Brazil has launched an online social media initiative to gather ideas from the public for a new concept car called the &#8216;Mio&#8217; which will be presented at the 2010 Brazil Auto Show. The format is less design focused than say Peugot&#8217;s long running contest, Fiat is looking for ideas that make a car personal.
Several rounds of questions will be posed to the Mio community, the first being about features and design. Later, users will be asked for branding and marketing ideas while he engineers review the design submissions. Progress on the project will be posted and the community will [...]]]></description>

In the true spirit of DIY culture, skillshares operate under the notion that access to education is a right rather than a commodity and that everyone has knowledge to share, making every individual both a student and a teacher. Their mission is to bring people together and create a reciprocal community based on learning, sharing and doing. A quick internet search reveals groups already formed in both Boston and Austin, but nothing in the NYC environs, until now.
Brooklyn Skillshare&#8217;s inaugural event will take place October 10th at the Gowanus Studio Space, offering classes on topics that range from kombucha brewing and [...]]]></description>

Ad Hoc Art
Ad Hoc Art is a friendly community gallery in Bushwick featuring works from the worlds of pop surrealism, low-brow, street art, illustration, comic books, tattoo and print-making. Pieces at Ad Hoc are reasonably priced and often come from artists who are overlooked in the larger NYC art scene. Excellently curated showcases and a genuinely unpretentious staff make gallery openings here unmissable events for local artists and their appreciators.

Neighborhood watches are going digital, and as the community comes online, rallying for crime-prevention becomes easier.  The Boston Globe looks at communities around the US that have fully utilized Twitter and blogs to organize.  Telephone chains first moved to email list-servs and basic message boards, but the instant response of more recent forms of communication now allows for quicker police action.  Beyond concerned phone calls, many police departments offer the ability for concerned neighbors to be trained in their legal rights and intervention limits as private citizens.
The National Sheriffs&#8217; Association website now has about 20,000 block watch groups registered, four [...]]]></description>

On the surface, the system is far from new &#8211; pick a project and give money (as little as $5) &#8211; but where most donations end, with you feeling a temporary wave of good will, Jolkona wants to continue the story and make the process more [...]]]></description>

Seek, an Australian online job search firm, is finding social opportunities in this economic crisis. The company, with the help of The Boston Consulting Group, is using its technology platform to match volunteer do-gooders with non-profit organizations all over the country.

Australia already has a long-established history of corporations participating in community causes but the recent scarcity of jobs, the persistent drought and the tragic bushfires that erupted earlier this year is increasing national demand to reach out. Seek Volunteer &#8211; which claims to earn no revenues for its services &#8211; seems to have come at just the right time judging [...]]]></description>

The east and west coast technorati showed up en masse at the recent IAB Social Media Conference in New York&#8217;s Roosevelt Hotel. From Facebook to Kraft and the social web’s premier designers, programmers and analysts &#8211; this audience was engaged and tweeting about thoughts all day. Best practices were unveiled, branded examples were shared, myths were debunked and most of all- the audience’s fears and hesitations were assuaged by normalizing this emerging yet already highly populated and lucrative space. The underlining call to action was to get your brand out there now to listen, test and to learn. Peep listened, [...]]]></description>

The NY Times points us to the German suburb of Vauban, a thoughtfully designed community where an astonishing 70% of its 5,500 residents live without owning cars. Completed in 2006, the one square mile neighborhood is comprised of multi-family row houses designed to be more energy-efficient with local businesses interspersed throughout in an attempt to seamlessly integrate the residential and commercial districts. Automobiles are allowed along the town&#8217;s main thoroughfare that connects to the train station as well as on certain secondary streets, but those that want to own vehicles are required to purchase garage spaces located at the edge of [...]]]></description>

At our 2009 New York conference, a panel led by Florian Peter (CScout) discussed how creators and the community openly come together to develop new thinking and make ideas happen. John Geraci (Outside.in), Scott Heiferman (Meetup), Avner Ronen (boxee) and Domenico Vitale (PI&#38;C) explain how they leverage open communities to develop new products, services and experiences for the benefit of everybody concerned.

Grand Rapids Michigan was the site of a massive public art project this past weekend. Thousands of participants used 30,000 multicolored sidewalk chalk sticks to draw all over several blocks of the city&#8217;s downtown. The first-ever Grand Rapids Chalk Flood, was organized by Rob Bliss, who has had similar success with other &#8220;urban experiments&#8221; like giant pillow fights and zombie walks. A wide variety of people joined in the joyful street art event, which brought the community together, and brought tons of extra business to local shops. Check out Mlive&#8217;s extensive coverage, or the video below for more.

Skimming through Forbes list of the Top 25 Most Influential Personalities on the Web Today, we were struck by the common thread running through some of the best blogs today. Pundits like Guy Kawasaki, Jeff Jarvis and Steve Rubel have all led the pack of aspiring bloggers by sharing a similar approach: they share all they know. From a professional standpoint, sharing your newest Marketing or PR innovations freely on the web doesn&#8217;t make a lot of sense. Any competitive advantage you may have had is lost to the public once these ideas live online, right?
Maybe not. We need to [...]]]></description>

Two UK based websites, Landshare and LandFit (temporarily on hiatus), are hoping to expand the concept in a radical way by putting would-be gardeners who lack the space in contact with those that would like to see their underutilized property put to good use. Time and again we&#8217;ve seen the internet&#8217;s powerful social networking capabilities bring people together in interesting ways to build communities and create change, and like most successful endeavors this idea is starting small, connecting individuals in their own neighborhoods and backyards.
