Idealist.org and Reddit.com have just announced the launch of
IdealistNews.com, a “social news” service where users submit and vote
on “timely and important news of remarkable things happening in the
nonprofit world.”
What makes these services interesting and useful is that they’re great at bringing fresh and relevant news to people’s attention. News often appears at a social news site faster than through traditional media outlets. IdealistNews.com is also people powered; there’s no editor deciding which stories move up or down. Only choices by registered users influence which stories will be at the top of the list at any moment.
You can check out the new site at www.idealistNews.com.
