Boredometer

From Plings Info

Boredometer is an app. for Bebo and Facebook that helps young people find things to do and places to go. It uses young people's and willingness to help their friends out to spfread the news about positive activities. Data from the Plings database suggests activities to young people in the areas covered by Plings, and a short generic list of activities tries to help people outside those areas.

It's free to use - both for the young people who install it and for councils and other organisations who want to take advantage of another communications channel to market positive activities in their area.

There's a screencast demo of it here: http://www.screencast.com/users/harrytc/folders/Jing/media/f3dc1509-68ed-4361-9091-7c9ea362bd0f
