This gave me an opportunity to reflect on how I must be getting old.

I had never heard of this website until yesterday.Report

Authors can choose from 18 different categories/topics to blog about. I’ve crossed over sometimes into science and entertainment, but for the most part I’m in the business and politics verticals since that’s what I was recruited for.

By the way, my site over there is called Political Pulse. You might also be interested in a post I did about all the new features on Recovery.gov. It dovetails nicely into the discussion about how technology is effecting how information is shared. In True/Slant’s case it gives authors the tools to create and promote their own spaces. In Recovery.gov’s case it proves that transparency is possible on an extremely detailed level when looking at how our tax dollars are spent.

In any event, glad you took a second look at the site. Definitely think you’ll find it to be a worthwhile daily read.Report
