Will DotSpots transform not-for-profit activism?

The rapid propagation and appreciation of breaking news has been a transformative use of the internet. Use of hashtags and key words assists people in gaining an overall picture of the news stream, however it is still an arduous task.

Will DotSpots transform how we individually access the news - and how we spread the news to and from our activists? From the creator of BizRate and Shopzilla, Farhad Mohit, DotSpots aims to provide a method for 'distributed objects of thought' to be posted, linked and refined using the wisdom of crowds.

Farhad's interview with Knowledge@Wharton provides some background - but go to http://dotspots.com to decide for yourself.
