Congratulations to John from Renmark who came in first place for this round of footy tipping with 6 correct tips! It was a close round this week with several tippers selecting 6 correct results but John came in first with the closest margin for Friday nights game. It is a tight race for the overall leader of our competition with Merv from Lameroo still in the top spot, ahead of John by only 1 tip! Good luck to everyone next week.
This is a link to ABC coverage of a really interesting forum that was recently held in NSW discussing invisible cities in the digital age...the impact that technology is having on our communities!
"Invisible Cities: Community in a Digital Age 01 Mar 2011, 11:00 How has community changed with the rise of social networking and online connections which may be stronger than those in the 'real world'? One community in Woollahra, Sydney, convened a diverse town hall-style panel to examine these 'invisible cities' that are now emerging, and how it is changing the way we connect to people. " (ABC, 2011)
