Makesense want “supercool individuals” to help solve social issues. This was the theme of a presentation given at the Shanghai Xinchejian hackerspace last night. The invitation gives a good overview of what they are about. Listening to their presentation and delving into their web site shows they have a good sense of humour as they talk of themselves as gangsters and about holdups (a holdup is an issue that the gangsters AND community try to solve!). Their web app to connect people and issues is here.
The presentation also showed that while Makesense is very new and growing fast, they have a very mature approach and are already achieving significant results across the world.
It is worth while exploring their site to see what they are up to and to see if any of their activities is something that you want to join in!
They intend to organise a “1-day event for you within 50 days” in Shanghai to commence the activity (holdups?) and their site shows they are very active across the globe!
