An overview of some great digital tools that facilitate a real sense of community - and that make people's lives better - in Vancouver, BC. This was a fast, Pecha Kucha presentation, so the slide deck is mostly images and little text. The final slide lists photo credits along with the names of the individual app developers & companies who created the projects. (I presented this talk at the Vision Vancouver AGM on May 24, 2012.) Here's a list of the apps & websites featured in this talk: Street Food Vancouver: http://streetfoodapp.com/vancouver BTAworks: http://btaworks.com HistoryPin: http://www.historypin.com/ VPL Mobile App: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/vpl-mobile/id422360968?mt=8 This Is Our Stop: http://thisisourstop.com Vancouver Hack Space: http://vancouver.hackspace.ca Tap Map: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/tap-map/id391108983?mt=8 Where Post: http://wherepost.ca Recollect: http://recollect.net Parents on the Drive: http://www.parentsonthedrive.com The Shorty List: http://theshortylist.ca On The Go Kids: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/on-the-go-kids/id508973867?mt=8 Ayoudo: http://ayoudo.com
