Virtual communities tied to real places
Portland Stories is an excellent example of a collaborative site grounded in a physical community. Like
ORBlogs, the site's contributors share a connection simply through living in the same place. Do you have a story to tell about a late night on Burnside? Or a run in Forest Park? The site's creator,
Stephen Voss, says:
My dirty little secret is that I've only lived in this city for a short while, but it has quickly become my home. In writing about Portland, I'm hoping to find my own definition of the city.
As I prepare to leave Portland, I hope to imprint a stronger memory of this place that I love.
