I’d set up a blog farm of sorts, using WordpressMU (wordpress multi -user, the stuff behind wordpress.com), and make it a niche network of of blogs. Either citizen journalism, or location-based resources of some kind - like the best places (hotels, sight-seeing) to go for families, for example. Each blog would be staffed by a different author or series of authors dedicated to that topic.
So to recap, the blogs would be something like politics.citizenville.com, education.citizenville.com
or
halifax.citizenville.com, toronto.citizenville.com etc.
Although I have tons on my plate at the moment, those were the first things to come to mind.

Hey Derek,
I think this domain would be perfect for a pop/political/culture podcast I’m planning on doing. I haven’t found a good name or domain for it yet, however Citizenville has a nice ring to it. What do you think?
Let me know.
Thanks,
Zach

Hi,
I would love to adopt citizenville.com. I’m in the process of developing a web development practice to support non-profits. The dream being to work from home so that I can move back to live in NB. I use mostly Drupal at the moment, but am opened to anything the client requires.
I have this huge itch to start a citizen-driven news site, where people can post, promote/demote news, run blogs, basically where they can connect and communicate. I’ve been trying to figure out a name lately, and I happened to mention it to Harold Jarche (http://www.jarche.com) who pointed me to your post here. It’s definitely a good name for what I want to do.
Thanks for considering my request, please ask if you need more information from me.

Some good ideas so far! I’m going to give this at least another week, so don’t expect a decision before Jan 15.

Hi Derek,
My take on citizenville.com would be a regional activity portal for RSS feeds. Users would submit their RSS feeds witch would then be rated and ranked by the public. Sort of like DIGG but dedicated to cities. The home page would have customizable preferences like weather, my feeds etc…
The user would then go to moncton.citizenville.com to find all that is happening in the Moncton area etc…
Thanks,
Sebastien
