Due to their unique position in the primary schedule, New Hampshire voters have many opportunities to hear and meet the presidential candidates. Primary Place Online, a citizen journalism and discussion site sponsored by New Hampshire Public Radio, allows the citizens of one typical town, Exeter, to share their impressions and thoughts about candidate appearances using blogs, images, and video. Visitors, referred by public radio station affiliates from across the country, can participate in the dialog as well using the "Questions For Candidates" forums.

ChicagoAncestors.org allows users to "discover the past by address." Historical records culled from several organizations, including the Newberry Library, Chicago Historical Society, as well as hundreds of churches and schools, are viewed using an interactive mashup-style Google Map. Information about people, places, and events through Chicago, including user-submitted locations and photographs, can be viewed in their proper historical and geographical contexts.

"Vocalo is a gathering place, on-air, on the web, and in the community. It’s also a new broadcast format that celebrates the cultures and communities of the Chicago region.

Here at Vocalo.org we welcome your participation at any level. Start by listening to our web stream or if you live in Northwest Indiana, you can hear us at 89.5 FM.

Then, sign-up and begin to interact with our hosts while they’re on the air. Make additions to the playlist, rate a video or photo essay. When you’re ready, start your own blog, upload your photos, audio, stories. Our hosts want to share the airwaves with you.

And if you really care about a topic, help us keep the discussion going even after the broadcast, by inviting friends to join the conversation, adding tags to your topic and connecting with others to take it to the next level."
