The Next New Thing

A new type of new media, that can be useful considering some challenges faced today would be a social media site that connects individuals and organizations in working together to solve issues worldwide - whether they be environmental or social. While sites like this do exist, they do not filter members based on similar interests. Instead members have to explore the sites themselves and find what they like or exactly what is being offered.

This new community site will require members to create a profile that lists the issues they're interested in, and ultimately link them to others who are interested in the same issue. It would be ideal to have an organization linked behind the issues to sponsor any initiative. This linkage would then open up the users to new discussions and ones that currently exist. This site will help rid of repetition and the lengthy search process, and quickly link members to begin on initiatives through different levels.
