In Wisconsin, there are thousands of independent websites, many of them covering a single city or town, but others devoted to an issue or project. From a student-led effort at Marquette University, there’s a new environmental website called Greenvoting.com. Here’s a description of the Greenvoting.com website:
Greenvoting is sort of a hybrid between Wikipedia and Craigslist. We are a resource of information on issues related to the environment (with a focus on Wisconsin), but our information is primarily user-generated. We are also a community resource, and we invite individuals and organizations to contribute to our site, edit (yes!) our pages, and collaborate with other individuals and organizations.
We are utilizing an innovative web service provided by a company called Wetpaint, which allows users to edit web pages without any special training. It’s as easy as word processing!
Best wishes to Regina and everyone working on this new website.
