Dan Gillmor launches first Grassroots Media project: Bayosphere
Dan Gillmor, who left the San Jose Mercury News last year to launch Grassroots Media Inc., has launched his first project as part of that new venture, a site called "Bayosphere" that will cover "the news, needs and ideas of the Bay Area and especially the technology sphere that is the prime economic driver of the area."
He's moved his blog to Bayosphere, where he says he'll "report and comment on the Silicon Valley technology community -- and a whole lot more including my observations about the burgeoning arena that's variously called citizen journalism, personal publishing, grassroots media and a lot of other things. They all have something in common: the read-write Web.
"As you'll see in days and weeks to come, I'll be one of many voices, including yours. I'm a host here, not The Editor. Communities have values; we'll have the kind that make this a place we want to share with visitors and each other. So while our postings and conversations will frequently be impassioned, they'll also be civil. Beyond that, we'll be adding tools that make it easy to join in and to do good work, often collaborating with others."
