Western Australia hits the Web 2.0 news stage: introducing PerthNorg

August 1, 2006

Great news from the Western side of Australia: PerthNorg from Bronwen Clune, who I had the privilege of meeting a couple of months back at a Perth blog meetup.

Question though is how to describe the site. It’s sort of Digg meets Newsvine..but in a one newspaper state I can only hope to god it takes off.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. I like to describe PerthNorg as a collaborative news site. Norg is short for news organisation and is associated with the new media revolution of user-generated content.
    Thanks
    Bronwen

Oh, and I do love seeing proper use of Web standards. […]
