247 Townhall

247 Townhall is a community forum dedicated to change. Users sign in to share videos, stories, events, trends, and audio. We love this site because it's functional and nice to look at, and, really, how can you not love a site that boasts Mos Def as a contributor?

Users can interact with the site on several levels, from observers to participating members. Members track their favorite content and comment on shared items. We also like that the process begins with new members submitting their personal stories.

We built 247 Townhall with open source content management software Drupal, which allows users and site administrators to easily upload video, text and audio. The difficult work happens below the surface so most people don't even have to think about what's happening: upload an image and VOILA! It's cropped into form and displayed exactly where and how you imagined. Upload a video clip to the site and it's automatically posted to YouTube - without you needing to have a youTube account or experience.
