billaronson··on Infobitt – A movement to do for the news what Wikipedia did for encyclopedias
I've been contributing to infobitt now for about a year. I think the idea of breaking a story down into individual facts linked to sources is interesting. The game changer will come when we start adding value beyond that. There are some ideas percolating on that front. So I would encourage anyone interested to get on board and see where this takes us.

I have been contributing to infobitt for awhile now. The potential is for it to be a place where you get a rounded view of a story by multiple editors providing different facts. One option I hope will emerge is filters so I could see for example how the world news appears from an Australian perspective and then instantly flip and see it from a is perspective. That would be something that nobody has done as yet.
