I wasnt as clear as I could have been.... I'll chalk it up to my health<br>
<br>
The original IndyMedia sites were early or pre-blog era ... and pushed the
boundaries.<br>
<br>
A number of the IndyMedia sites are looking to similarly push their platforms
to the next level of utility .... (that was the next-generation point - next
generation for them) <br>
<br>
Their organization, is as you mention, very flat ... they are a network, and
that is very intentional. They are already next generaion in that regard
:)<br>
<br>
<br>
So, now, we have to think what it means to partner with networks ... in some
cases it just means individual actions... I post to the local indymedia sites
when I get a chance ... and I recommend you all do the same. <br>
