Public Press is now Live! Put your neighborhood life on the map

By Greg Passmore

Hey Everyone,

After 18 months of development and a few months of running quietly behind closed doors, Public Press is ready for the world. The gates are open.

It may have been awhile since you’ve checked out Public Press. We’ve made a lot of changes and improvements to the site that we think you’ll really like. We have an updated FAQ that describes what we are trying to do with the site and how to use it. Check it out: http://publicpress.org/alchemy/faq.jsp

Go tell all your neighbors and friends. Spread the word. Write articles and keep your columns flowing with news and information. Upload pictures of your neighborhood via your mobile cameraphone.

Now that we are Public, you don’t need an account to read the site, you can share your columns and your posts with your friends, and all the googlebots in the world can come smashing down our doors. We are still a work in progress, with a lot of cool stuff coming soon, so expect improvements to keep on coming.

We have made some more changes to the site in preparation for this - the most notable of which is the dropdown menu under the logo. Use this to find your neighborhood or city.

So, invite your friends, send some links around, and lets build this community! We will be letting the new update settle down a bit (a week or so), and then we will begin avidly recruiting new people and new neighborhoods.

Many thanks to the faithful who have helped us test the site and seed it with your wonderful posts.

Please send feedback to team@publicpress.org.

Thanks,

Greg aka truth http://truth.publicpress.org
