Found a Democratic Underground mention in Greensboro, NC.

[Ashamed_American]

I live in High Point, NC. Minute away from Greensboro. Was just reading about the local paper (Greensboro New & Record) making space for their website to hold a blog area. In an interview with the guy making the idea come to life, he mentions DU as an inspiration for the idea.

Nothing major, but its nice to see some attention.

What a great question. You might have asked if there were models or other inspirations, to which I would have said yes.

I think Democraticunderground.com does a superb job of facilitating online discussions. While it doesn't aggregate blogs, its ability to nurture and facilitate the exchange of ideas was an inspiration. If we can get that kind of discussion going in Greensboro, through any means, our community will be better for it.

4. Thanks for this! Great news...I also like how they talk about Greensboro

being ahead of Raleigh...

New wave of the future for Newspapers. Also like hearing something good about DU for a change after all the bad press lately about "Conspiracy Theorists" etc.

5. That's great! You should show this to the admins & mods.

Do you think it would be okay to post in the ATA forum?
