Vote for Metro Mapper!
Local web startup Metro Mapper has entered a contest with the hopes of getting some funding and making some business connections to ensure the startup's growth. The contest, by Net Squared has the ambitious goal of "remixing the web for social change." Micheal at Metro Mapper says "The contest
provides funding and resources for innovative projects that foster
social change and empower individuals." The winners are determined by popular vote. Anyone can vote, you just have to register.
Metro Mapper is a free service currently based in Louisville, KY. We have a set of tools that let us gather public information and put it on interactive maps, which you can see on our site.This is a cool local project, let's all support it by voting!
But what we are missing is community contributions, data for other United States cities and rural areas, and the ability to show lots more information.
We want to become Your Mapper, a new site that has all of this and an empowered public. The Net Squared project would let us begin to do that. Read all about what we want to accomplish on our Project Page. Register now!

WHY Louisville
A Mighty Kindness
Thanks a lot Michelle for posting this. I'm very excited about the chance to improve Metro Mapper, and I know that Louisville and its blooming startup community can really help out with the voting.
We've got your back Michael. Good luck!
UPDATE:
We just discovered a *bug* in the site. If you are using Internet Explorer 7, and login to try to vote or "star" our project, you can't!
The [+] voting icon is not visible! So some of you are not crazy...
Until this is resolved with the site owners, see if you can use another alternate browser, like Firefox on a PC or Safari on a Mac, or Opera.

Thanks again and vote today, Friday, by 5pm if you can! It's the last day of the first round.
