Scoop

Originally posted to sCNN – the smallChangeNewsNetwork

Scoop is a “collaborative media application.” It falls somewhere between a content management system, a web bulletin board system, and a weblog. Scoop is designed to enable your website to become a community. It empowers your visitors to be the producers of the site, contributing news and discussion, and making sure that the signal remains high.

This looks like a great way to run a community, online and beyond. First stop here at sCNN is to get the del.icio.us tagging thing figured out. Then it looks like Scoop would be a good way to expand what can happen in a blog. Someday I’ll have the time/funding to set all this up. In the meantime, maybe you know someone or some community that needs Scoop?

Would be fun, too, to set one of these up inside of an large corporate organization that was wanting to function more like a really prosperous community, no?

Thanks to Nurul Eusufzai in Chicago for sharing this.
