Can An Online Community For Morden Be Developed?

That's the challenge.

A search on Google for "blogs in Morden" returns about 970,000 results - more than any sane person would ever want to trawl through. Similarly, a search by the Morden area on LoadedWeb doesn't return anything (although at the time of writing this blog is pending review).

Twitter is proving equally difficult but for different reasons, e.g. the word Morden may actually mean something in other languages, there are other places in the world called Morden, some users prefer to refer to nearby areas such as Wimbledon. However, I feel some progress is slowly being made by consistently using the #Morden hashtag and by retweeting relevant local news. So hopefully over time @Mordonian could become a reasonably comprehensive and credible repository for all things Morden.

Meanwhile if anyone else blogs about Morden I'd love to hear from you. It would be interesting to see if it is possible to build a strong online community for the Morden area.
