The Open University - I spy with my little eye

The Open University has launched a social networking website for natural history fans. Jonathan Silvertown, professor of ecology, said iSpot was aimed at anyone who had ever seen a bird, insect or plant they could not identify "and wished they had someone there to tell them what it is". The site will allow natural history enthusiasts to network and share observations and to identify each other's unidentified flora and fauna.
