In case you don't recall, I promised earlier to introduce a few projects to finally get some work being done here on the moon. Today I'm introducing one of those projects.
For about two months or so, I've been writing a weekly tech column on my blog and a few other social blogging websites about the craziest and most insane stories of the week. A Google Reader account and a ton of feeds is all it really takes.
That said, I'm sick of doing this by myself and I think this can achieve a much broader audience and level of quality if I crowdsource it to you, the moon, which is what I intend to do. Maybe at first I'll just have you pick stories for the week's column, but my hope is that soon enough you guys will be involved in the writing, distribution and even management of this column. If I get enough help maybe we could even make its own website, do it more times a week or even make it daily and maybe even have our own in-house reporting.
Lastly, given most of you probably don't know me that well, let me assure you whenever I announce something I intend to get it done. That's why I think long and hard about the moves I make and often keep them under wraps for weeks or even months until I think it's time. There will be an edition this week, scheduled to come out this Sunday, and after that I expect the next edition to be already crowdsourced, after a short hiatus if needed.
So, it's your turn now guys. If you want to help or give an opinion, go ahead and reply, I want to get a stable team together.
