One of the most positive Blog to help Richmond is closing Down SHUTTING DOWN RICHMOND BRAINSTORM BLOG Made by Chis Hardie a businessman in Richmond chrishardie/2014/03/richmond-brainstorm-shutdown/ Richmond does not seem to be a place where most of those kinds of ideals and conversations want to happen online, for better or worse. That combined with the time that it takes to keep the sites software current, deal with spammers and perform other administrative tasks has begun to outweigh the value that I think RichmondBrainstorm is currently bringing to the community. So, as of today Im shutting the site down. Im including below a list of the titles of all of the ideas submitted to the site. Each one came with more detail and discussion on the site itself, but hopefully this gives you a sense of the kind of ideas that were out there. Thanks to everyone who submitted an idea, voted or commented. I look forward to seeing what new and interesting ways people might use technology tools to explore ideas for community improvement, in Richmond and beyond.
