Bookcrossing is Ron Hornbaker's super idea. If you have
books that you no longer want you can liberate them. Leave them
somewhere so that they can be read by others. Catch books from
bookcrosssers. You can write reveiws on the site rather like
at Amazon.
There are also Bookcrossing MeetUp's
on the second tuesday of each month.

living writers are elected to its Fellowship; lectures, readings

We
the Media : Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People
By Dan
Gillmor
Grassroots journalists are dismantling Big Media's monopoly
on the news, transforming it from a lecture to a conversation.
Not content to accept the news as reported, these readers-turned-reporters
are publishing in real time to a worldwide audience via the
Internet. The impact of their work is just beginning to be felt
by professional journalists and the newsmakers they cover.
In We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for
the People, nationally known business and technology columnist
Dan Gillmor tells the story of this emerging phenomenon, and
sheds light on this deep shift in how we make and consume the
news. [Full
Description]

Good luck Dan : From we the readers |
