I want to briefly write up an idea for a Facebook application that I would love to see: The Union Member app. Think of it like the “My Neighborhood” application, but instead lets users select their union. It would give a central organizing mechanism for locals to communicate with each other, but by tapping into the other Facebook data, could allow union members in the same geographic region to connect outside of their actual unions.

The app could take into account the multiple associations / hierarchies of unions in order to connect and accommodate as many union members as possible. But in its most basic state, it could pull from the listings of locals on various union websites and provide organizing spaces for those members.

This is rough, not thought out, and from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know what he’s doing. But I wanted to get it out of my head, so there it is.
