BlufftonToday.com is a grand experiment in citizen journalism, a complete inversion of the typical "online newspaper" model, an Internet-powered interactive community center. Here''s a short list of what we''re doing:
--Everyone gets a blog. Not just staffers, but everyone in the community. LeMonde (France) and the Mail and Guardian (South Africa) are doing this, too. I don''t know of others but would appreciate pointers.
--Everyone gets a photo gallery.
--Everyone can contribute events to a shared public community calendar.
--Everyone can contribute recipes to a community cookbook.
--RSS feeds are everywhere -- all the blogs collectively, all the blogs individually, classified ad search results and so forth.
