In my last post, I described the problem facing all online communities and the freedom of information to exist online: it happens only as long as the interests that control the pipes want it to continue. Oddly enough the solution...

After a summer (or winter) of Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, you might be feeling a
little bit like Jan Brady. While Twitter is getting a lot of press and continues to grow, it isn’t the only site people are using. We asked around and here are five sites that people are checking out that aren’t Twitter.
