People of the Web
| Monday, June 4th, 2007 | --jr |
Much like the entree of choice in some overcrowded, dystopian future, the web is made of people, and Yahoo! News is bringing you their stories.
To be honest, this is actually a really interesting idea, and I'll be curious how it plays out. These aren't the usual group of adorable, spunky teens who help raise awareness about the plight of Dutch llama herders, but pretty significant lightning rods from lots of different sectors (I suppose that's to be expected when the author is Kevin Sites). What's more, not only does each profile include an article and video, but comments. (Considering that Y!News' previous experience with comments was equivalent to unleashing the hounds of hell in forum format, that was a pretty surprising move.)
They're darn interesting articles, none the less, so dig in and maybe learn a few things too.
