\"Street
\nPeople in Abingdon recently received a letter addressed to ‘The lovely person who lives at … (your address)’ <\/p>\n

It was to tell them of a new internet forum which has been launched in our area streetlife.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It is very like Facebook but, whereas on Facebook you see what your friends are saying, on Streetlife you see what people in your neighbourhood are saying. <\/p>\n

So you can choose to follow all or any of the following:
\n Abingdon
\n Northcourt
\n Caldecott
\n Wildmoor
\n Shippon
\n Radley Park
\n Culham
\n Sunningwell
\n Gozzard’s Ford
\n Radley<\/p>\n

A media company called Archant, together with partners, run the enterprise, and are rolling it out nationally. The site will generate revenue from targeted local advertising. <\/p>\n

So it will be interesting to see how the forum develops. Already a few local groups have started promoted themselves through the forum: including Abingdon Hydro and the Breakaway Club. People with a common interest, such as paper crafting or finding a reading group are finding each other. There was a lot of talk of ghosts in Abingdon’s old houses – always a good one to break the ice. And a resident from Spring Road is encouraging locals to join the British Legion (only \u00a320 annually).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
