I wanted to gather people who like it too and to connect them with the rest of the world. It was more like avoiding those headlines you can find everywhere and create something new and more interesting.

But it seems harder than I thought. Is it hard or something else but I can find more social bookmarking sites than this.

Although citizen journalism is a breakthrough many users prefer to write about some event they read or saw and to say about their experience and their thoughts relied on it. It is more opinion and very often offered solution than citizen journalism.

So now I have more social bookmarking than citizen journalism.

And it is nice to give a link to some interesting news, but it’s so much better for citizen journalism to write about things from your environment.

Of course, even if you have some opinion and need to share it, do so please. You are most welcome.

All social networking nets with huge popularity, even those with less popularity, are very important for entire Internet as well as news.

Speed of spreading the news and various events is amazing.

Great number of people showed interest in social networking because they linked their friendship from everyday life with Internet. Now most of them are on the net.
They make, if it is possible, news even more reachable and closer. Phenomenon of social networking is still untouchable and their users very very desirable for any service.

Great number of people, different age and occupation, different skills and knowledge, all connected with one common thing – enjoying and spending free time on net. All that offers powerful group of people who create our modern way of living.

You don’t need a college or some degree for this. All you need is your own experience, wish to share and combination is ready.
