True! powerpopnews.com is up and running, although still in
its infancy.
I like the bulletin board model because topics can be set
in specific categories. So if I'm in the mood to find
out about new releases, it's right there, under a
header.
It's all in one place and easy to navigate.
Since it's just getting set up, the initial users can have
a lot to do with the direction it takes. It's a great
opportunity to make a destination site.
IMHO!
