Guardian Cardiff to be wound down!

Launched as a local experiment in 3 cities throughout the UK, Guardian Local was set-up to connect local citizens to information sources and resources in their areas and bring them local stories, news and features that mattered to them!

The three chosen cities were Leeds, Edinburgh and of course my local version Cardiff.
The Guardian Local website was intergrated into the main Guardian website and could easily be navigated to directly via http://www.guardian.co.uk/cardiff where each day there would be numerous updates on local stories using the full complement of devices to tell the stories from text, videos, photos, audio and maps (to name a few)

4am Project 2011

Many people may not be aware what the 4am Project actually is and it’s a quite a hard one to describe. It’s the brain child of Karen Strunks who thought it would be a good idea to get people from all around the world to capture their own local area at the ‘magical’ time of 4am on the same designated morning and then share these experiences and photos via the global project online at 4amProject.org and via the Flickr group.
