Some new reading. I’m a bit behind on the “it” factor for these sites, but I still think they are rockin. Both of them are “filter” sites. They take suggestions of stories from people and post the article link, their comments and any comments that follow. A great idea.

Plastic.com - This site focuses mostly on current events. It has a very intuitive interface and has some great commentary on current events. The discussion about our war has been especially interesting.

Metafilter.com - The quintessential filter site. This one does not have quite as easy of an interface, but brings up some more interesting topics. It is a bit tech heavy, but definitely not limited to that. I’ve spent hours reading stories and people’s responses to them.

This little bit just inspired my column for emmie.
