Bug Pool
www.nobodyhere.com
The Bug Pool foundation has been founded to realize the
independent project Bug Pool. Bug Pool stemmed from the insect forum
NobodyHere?.com, which itself grew out of the graduation project of ‘Jogchem
Niemandsverdriet’. On this site, which is growing for five years on a row now
and which won a Webby Award, the visitor is straying through the head of the shy
Jogchem Niemandsverdriet. Visitors can leave their comment on every page.
NobodyHere? was used as a meeting point to report extraordinary sites (own work
including), share experiences, and chat endlessly. Apart from a meeting point
Bug Pool has also become a platform on which people can simply build and
maintain sites together. With the help of Digitale Pioniers Bug Pool had to
become a diverse and lively community in which the experiment plays a central
role

Impact
The separate possibilities of Bug Pool are available
everywhere: weblogs, forums, chat, mail, ftp and domain hosting. However,
nowhere are they bundled in an accessible platform, directed towards encounter,
cooperation, and task dividing. At the same time it is a grand experiment in
collective designing, where unexpected forms and cooperations grow out of a
structured exchange of images, scripts, and, to a lesser degree, sound.
