Newly-discovered cool sites
Within the past few weeks my aimless wanderings around the web have caused me to stumble upon two absolutely excellent sites, well worth checking out…
The first is a sort of community news-sharing site, a bit like a social bookmarking site - but infinitely better. It seems to be aimed at established and wannabe citizen journalists, but there’s so much more stuff there as well that no-one should feel excluded. The appearance and features are excellent, all the interactive gizmos work amazingly well, and you really should pay it a visit.
So without further ado, go now to NewsVine
The other one I’ve discovered is Virtual Citizens
It presents itself as a sort of free news syndication site, containing a lot of articles relevant to US foreign policy, but not toeing the normal mass-media line.
I’ll be mirroring some of the articles on our own Tilting at Windmills site, but treat yourself to a few absorbed hours at the source.
Both sites highly recommended!
