Abstract: According to certain aspects, the present invention provides a social platform for developing informed communities. These communities are either hyper local or super focused within a specific geographical location; the social information created within the system of the invention is organized, mined and delivered to other community peers seeking information about important and time critical daily matters. Since these communities are organized around common interests, geographical location and/or goals, the participants will benefit from the information shared by their community peers. In embodiments, users of the invention's communities can ASK, SAY and stay connected with information on daily matters in their local communities that are organized around family, living, neighborhoods, schools, activities, special interests or causes.
