8. I was actually thinking about the same thing myself recently.

I think the big stumbling block on any of these - apps, websites, etc. for organizing is getting the word out and getting people to actually join. There already are some venues out there, meetup.com is a decent place, and Facebook can be OK sometimes though it's usually horrible (messaging any comment I make on any group to everyone I'm friends with keeps me from participating in groups...and pisses me off a lot).

Having said that, I do think an app or website tailored to activist networking could be great if it got some attention. What might the next steps be? Not many people seem to visit this forum. Maybe we could make weekly posts in GD to try to get the ball rolling on some of these ideas?
