I really hope the FIZ thing works, as I'm sure there are a couple of times I'd have used it in the past - it is important tho' that the more tech-savvy of us feedback with suggestions - we can see the maps/listings/social mash-ups in a way the more corporate don't seem to. Imagine allowing free access to any non-profit Brum webiste, that'd be something to be really proud of.
