mySociety's first pick

You'll recall the mySociety project held a doo earlier this month to evaluate ideas (and Tom Steinberg explained the concept back in October, in Online). Well, they've picked their opening projects, and the mix looks quite interesting. The top one has a working title of Faxyourrepresentative, and is branded a 21st century version of faxyourmp.com. We already know faxyourmp is great, and has had quite an impact. But my favourite of the new ideas is GiveItAway - an engine to make it easier to give stuff away, rather than throw it out. Having just moved home, I've only just found out how hard that can be. This one could really be quite useful.
