Help map some random groups

There are nearly 30,000 yahoo groups containing the word 'residents' and over 15,000 with the word 'neighbourhood' in, but we've no idea what towns and cities they actually cover. That means loads of local knowledge locked away where no one can find it (boo). So we need your help to map them! (don't worry google, you're next).

How it works

We show you the description of a random group. If you think it looks like a local email group (a residents' association or a knitting club), you then have to guess what area you think it covers.

Get started

  • (Name and email are optional)

Or add a group you know about

If you already know of a local email group, blog or forum, you can add it directly.
