"If there's something bothering you in your area and you want to do something about it, you've come to the right place."

The British Broadcasting Corporation has launched a sophisticated activism Web site that it hopes will get people more involved with their communities and provide tools to help them get government officials to address their concerns.

The new service, launched on Oct. 22 is called iCan and is presently still in beta stage.

On the site free access services are offered to:
