As a follow-up to your story on disaster communications projects in New Orleans, Think New Orleans has been up almost a year and serves as a huge repository of community information and resources for New Orleans residents. It started as a wiki where hundreds of people, many who had never touched a mouse, came to look for lost relatives. The wiki is a collaborative effort by dozens of New Orleans bloggers and wiki editors also help get new people up and blogging so they can tell their stories.
