Truly amazing - giving away the source code!
This will encourage many others, using this system, to start local micro-news channels in their own communities. Instead of the local newspaper/TV channel owning the regional media turf, this could enable discussion culture in a more democratic way. The question is... aside from hackers: who is ready for this? I remember the cartoon from Gaping Void - "the future belongs to the geeks, nobody else wants it" - http://www.gapingvoid.com/Moveable_Type/archives/003301.html http://www.gapingvoid.com/Moveable_Type/archives/003301.html

- jimboyoungblood 17y agoKnight Foundation, as in the people behind KITT?
- SwellJoe 17y agoThat was Knight Industries, silly (Knight Industries Two Thousand). Obviously, Knight Foundation is the non-profit arm of the company. Seriously, though, I assumed it's a non-profit associated with Knight Ridder, who publish newspapers and such. Which I just noticed is only one letter off of Knight Rider. Coincidence?
