I would have posted this yesterday, but I was taking a break to watch a Movie- Night at the Museum and celebrating the last birthday I'll ever have which will actually make me a year older. Every birthday hereafter will be celebrated with me remaining the same age as I am today.
Anyway, a while back crime blogging buddy Trench started CrimeNe.ws For those of you who know Digg, it's a lot like that- only dedicated to stories involving crime. For those that don't- imagine it as being a community blog, where the readers get to submit the stories, and then vote on which ones make it to the front page. You may comment on the cases posted, sharing your personal thoughts with other members.
While all of the crime bloggers highly enjoy your thoughts on the cases that we cover- those cases are ones we have been touched by, or that have stuck out in our minds as ones needing more attention. CrimeNe.ws on the other hand- gives you the chance to let us know which cases you are most drawn too, which ones you feel are in need of the attention. And, because most of the crime bloggers within the True Crime Blogroll are members of CrimeNe.ws- we'll be able to pick up the stories that you submit, and get a better idea of what you'd like to see. It is the perfect tool for you to reach not just one crime blogger- but all of us. And, as a community- it provides the chance to interact with others who, like you, are interested in current, and past, crimes.
And, best of all, it provides you with a place to remain up to date on what's been going on in crime- even if your favorite crime blogger fails to make it to the computer in time to share it.
Now, I'd be silly not to mention this- while I already have your attention. If you look at the footer of each of my posts- you'll see a link to "Submit to CrimeNe.ws". This gives you the chance (if you are a member of CrimeNe.ws) to submit any post from here, to there, in a simple step. And, there's chance that you might be seeing this link pop up in the other crime blogs too- so keep an eye out for it.
