Building a map of the credit crunch?
We like this idea of - where we recruit you in an act of journalism to help us create a picture of an aspect of UK life. And the massive response to testing your broadband speed, got us thinking.
So we've teamed up with based at the University College London, who've developed , a map-sharing website. It allows us to create and compare maps on different topics.
We want to create a credit crunch map on MapTube. We'll pose a simple question or two and ask for your postcode - but that's all.
We've been brainstorming questions along the lines of
*How worried are you about your finances?
1. Not in the least
2. Concerned but comfortable
3. Worried, but hoping I can make it through
4. Very concerned, touch and go
5. I'm heading for bankrupcy
*What's hurting you most about the credit crunch?
1. Mortgage/rent
2. Bills
3. Food prices
4. Fuel
5. Holidays
*How much do you put away in savings each month?
1.
2. £100-200
3. £200-300
4. £300-500
5. £500+
We're veering toward the second question, but in the true, transparent-spirit of iPM - we thought you might have some better ideas.
Something in particular you'd be interested in seeing represented on a map? Any credit crunch suggestions or would you rather hear about something totally different? All comments welcome.
