I love this site. Started by a bunch of optimists who want things to be better and believe that we each hold the power to make things better, ChangeThis.com is, simply, brilliant. Read the ChangeThis Manifesto to get their rationale for the site.
Sure, I could go on with how it all works (people submit cogently though-out position papers the site calls Manifestos which are then, if approved, downloadable by the masses) and start to question the fact that the content is “donated” etc., but I would rather focus on the main point: ChangeThis is a resource, a repository, of accessible critical thinking on a plethora of topics and you can’t not learn something if you read these manifestos (bad grammar deliberate there, by the way). You’ll agree with some, disagree with others, but overall, you’ll be forced to think, and that is never a bad thing.
No quick answers. No dumbing-down of information. Just page after page of thought-out ideas and opinions. As every creative needs to think well to produce the best creative product of which s/he is capable, informing yourself this way can only be a benefit.
I am surfing ChangeThis.com. Great site. Good info. The manifestos about WEB 2.0 and the Business Blogging contain very helpful info for me. Bienvenue dans le Futur !
