It also seems to be a good idea to try to bring bloggers and journalists together- as well as student journalists who may well be the hybrid blogger-journalists of tomorrow. But I'm not sure that the public can't be more involved. On Yoosk- www.yooskonline.com, of which I am a co-founder, we are trying to do just that. I've written about how journalists (at whatever stage of their career) and bloggers can lead the public and crowd source interview questions, by lining up interviews and then letting the crowd decide what they want to ask. http://yooskonline.blogspot.com/2007/08/open-letter-to-bloggers-use-yoosks.html engtech is right though- getting people to adopt niche networking sites is hard, and I can see this (and Yoosk) ending up as a Facebook application, which would be a shame.

People only have time for maintaining a presence on 2-5 sites. For me it's: - blog - delicious - stumbleupon - facebook I like the idea of niche social news sites… the question is how do you get people to adopt them?
