New social news site - NewsTrust.net
http://www.jasonmorrison.net/content/2008/new-social-news-si...have to click through to rate a story, might be information-poor but participation-rich in comparison. Still, I will play with the site more and I wish them luck, I think they have some promising ideas. For example, in their blog they talk about gathering sources from other countries based on big world news events, specifically the Russian invasion of Georgia. Reddit is only fleetingly so reflective and few sites use temporary peaks in interest to get long-term data on source credibility.
