Of course the net has changed all of our lives…

4.8.2010Bringing us all together, making our world smaller… And man, do I really love getting the New York Times on my iphone. But what seems to be happening for some folks is they are now able to narrow their focus so much so they only see the world through their glasses… I think that’s a real shame (as I read my liberal paper).

So on that note, here is interesting site I ran across that… is trying to set the net straight… it attracts seven million to eight million unique visitors in an average month.

David and Barbara Mikkelson a California couple that run Snopes, one of the most popular fact-checking destinations on the Web. For well over a decade they have acted as arbiters in the Age of Misinformation by answering the central question posed by every chain letter — is this true? — complete with links to further research. The popularity of Snopes, puts the couple in a unique position to evaluate digital society’s attitudes toward accuracy. I don’t think its going to bring the reds and blues or anyone together but at least its all about the facts.
