GFP is run by me in my freetime - which is 0 lately - though we try to affiliate/helpout/promote as many like minded folks as possible and maybe that is where the precieved connection is but it is just me right now running the whole site.

since i can only do so many things at once - family, micro business, part time job, study and gfp - it is sufferring.

I need help and i have been trying to organize a team of folks to help me get the word out.

now i may be good at building websites but i suck at business, graphics, organizing, speaking, writing, etc.

so i was hoping one day some of the FANTASTIC talent we have at du could pool our resources - time and talent - to make gfp something useful for folks.

now i have plenty of big ideas and would love to talk in earnest with anyone who would like to help me start a grassroots mediaoutlet.

now i know there are other out there but none are as powerful - technologically speaking - as GFP - thanks to opensource and slash - and we can be pretty POWERFUL in tailoring the news to each user, they can create there own newspaer in essence.

anyways...

I am an expert at writing web spiders to automagically harvest info and dissenminate it via the web and would love to use my skills to help pass the word but i can't take this any further by myself so if folks are serious lets get together and start rapping about this and get it done.

i even created a private space online where we can collaberate easilly through our web browsers.

still interested? lets talk.

btw: i have been pondering a custom ticker that will show you scrolling headlines from our favorite lib/progressive sources based on your own keywords i.e. your interest, but i need some motivation... like a team of folks who are tired of the BS and willing to start a brand new industry.

even if start out as just a knowledge aggregator at first i think we can go places... just imagine... germany.globalfreepress.com japan.globalfreepress.com or even nyc.globalfreepress.com, boston.globalfreepress.com etc

every story posted is automatically syndicated to all of our affiliates but also to any other web site that supports syndication like yahoo etc.

I will check in and out but please du me if you ALL are serious about this.

we can do this if we do it TOGETHER.

peace
