A lot of people who have asked me about my plans for ReportingOn have let out the same groan, "another social network?" I've been pleasantly surprised this is the first time I've heard that question about WiredJournalists.com. Why? I think it's because Ning-powered networks are so quick and easy to join, for one thing. The other thing: Most of the time, the people doing the groaning are, for lack of a better term, wired, and those aren't the ones we're trying to bring to the table. The stated goal of the network is to connect the "non-wired" with experts, and to give those willing to dip their toes in the wired water a clean, safe pool to do it in. That metaphor went a couple clauses too far. Pardon me. Anyway, you should check it out. Join, don't join, whatever, but I'm blown away by not only the response we've seen this week, but the diversity of the journalists who have shown up. Phillip – Thanks for the shout outs.
