Quote of the day
"There’s no question that social networking platforms will be the basis for a great deal of innovation and business opportunity, what’s not clear yet is whether there will be one or two dominant players. It’s a very dynamic environment." [article]

Truthout
We made Truthout work for years without talking "About Us." How did we do that? Well, it was never supposed to be about us. It was always about the issues that concern Truthout’s readers. We simply focus on getting the news out there, and putting everything we have on display every single day. A critic once warned, "I intend to monitor Truthout!" So I recommended that he sign up for our newsletters. That way, "You’ll be sure to get everything delivered right to your inbox."
But we’re bigger now, and people who aren’t very familiar with our work want to know if we’re beholden to the DNC, the RNC, the FBI or the DMV. We’re not. We are supported by our readers alone. And those readers are the only people to whom we’re beholden.
If I can point to one thing that defines Truthout - that makes us unique - it’s that we have accepted these readers as our sole supporters. And while that interdependency may occasionally be a bit stormy, it guarantees that whatever issues arise will be worked out between our organization and the community that we serve. The corporate hand will never rule here.
