We should do this...

www.slashdot.org is a news web site.

It is not, however, a news web site in the traditional sense. It does not host any of its own news but provides a bunch of links to various news sites on the internet.

Not only that, but these links are put there by the community. The way it works it that a community of people are registered as "submitters". These people regularly submit candidate links for inclusion on the slashdot site. Then a comitte of people sift through all the submissions and the ones that are deemed worthy are then placed on slash dot for the greater community to view.

I think it would be a good idea for the christian community to do something similar. The result would be a central which would provide a source of all the good edifying stuff out there, from news and reviews to featured articles to just about anything interesting.

Anyone know of something like this already?

Anyone know of a site willing to host something like this?

Slashdot is in fact so popular that very often the web sites on slash dot are not available because they cannot handle the sudden surge in traffic. In other words, it works.

the fork has arrived...

okay, I've forked the blog. You can now go to analysis102 and check out the new blog. This blog will deal specifically with ideas and comments as they relate to computing and to business, and to anything else which does not go under the "life/philosophy" heading.

It probably means that I won't be updating this blog that often. The frequency of updates accross both blogs whould remain about the same however.
