Undercurrent

Newstrust is one of those initiatives you just have to endorse. Readers rating news stories on criteria such as accuracy, context, balance etc is a great idea. Still, I wonder if it will be possible to recruit enough users to reach critical mass for this project. After all, it competes for the user’s time with excellent services such as del.icio.us. And, for that matter, with bloggers in general, who spend a lot of time doing just what Newstrust does, in a less structured way. One suggestion could be to integrate posting to an individual blog with rating at Newstrust. For now, I’ll use Newstrust as yet another way of navigating the web.
