Cory Bergman of MyBallard.com, MSNBC.com and LostRemote.com (phew, that’s one busy dude) has a really great read on a nutty back and forth in Arkansas. Worth a read to see how this battle for innovation is being fought every day everywhere.
But, my favorite part is what Cory says at the end:
As I’ve written before, what I’ve learned from my neighborhood blogging on MyBallard.com is that we’re not covering the community, we’re moderating it. We provide a layer of journalism over the top of a vibrant online community. Because the community is smarter than us. And the sooner we can find ways to engage the community around a new business model, the better.
Amen, brother.
Borrowing from Cory’s words, Outside.in is trying to provide a layer of organization (geotags, awesome maps and more) over the top of a vibrant online community of local media creators.
