Bloggers! What do you think of this idea?

[johnaries]

Astute DU'ers are always posting little tidbits of news that they find that somehow don't get exposed in the MSM. But, they could be widely blogged, if you guys knew about them.

I know it's difficult for you to sift through all the posts in LBN and other groups to find something interesting that you can follow-up on and include in your own blogs - especially considering how quickly some of the forums move.

What if DU had a forum where folks could post items they've found that isn't getting covered by the MSM but they think is important for Bloggers to cover? Then, you could come to this one forum and see items you may not be aware of quickly and easily, and then decide if you want to follow-up on it in your blog? A sort of News Tip Forum.

Is that something you folks would find useful?

I started another thread on the idea here:

1. Actually, I think...

a recurring Bloggers Group topic, like Today's Tidbits, posted here in would be a great idea!

As a example, in the Classic Film Group, discussion of the day's TCM schedule gets a lot of replies.

So far, this DU Group seems to be a place where people read posts but don't reply very often.

Another problem is that you have to have a star to access DU Groups.
