Hi all,
I wanted to announce a project I'm working on: http://unsourced.org
It's a web site for linking news articles to their sources. You know,
all those "Scientists say Red Wine Causes/Cures Cancer!" type of article
with no link to the actual research.
You can also assign warning labels to news articles, so toxic/hazardous
material can be labelled as such.
There's also a browser extension (just Chrome, so far, but a Firefox one
will follow), so you can see sources and warning labels as you read
online news.
I want to build up a community of people on unsourced.org who
collaborate to track down missing sources.
So I'd be really grateful for help in getting the word our, via mentions
on blog posts, twitter, mailing lists, whatever!
There's a little more background at:
http://unsourced.posterous.com/
and I'm happy to answer any questions about it all.
All feedback most welcome - it's all under development still, so I'd
love to know what rough edges stand out the most :-)
Thanks,
Ben.
