RootsWire
For the last several months I've been involved in a project called RootsWire. The project was initially started as a means to pull together content from the different blogs and web sites covering the Democratic Convention in Denver. We are growing (at least conceptually) in scope to be an aggregation and cooperation site for bloggers and hyperlocal sites across the US.
Our intention is to build tools for sharing of content between sites in geographic areas, and to have local editors throughout the country who will build a human-edited daily digest of news generated by grassroots sites and organizations.
