Let's Meet Our Good Pal:
Digidave
I am a freelance science and technology writer, or what I like to call a "geek writer."
My main interest is taking what I know about the networking effects of the internet and applying it to journalism. I do this at my personal blog (www.digidave.org) and have also done it at NewAssignment.Net among other places.
I've been into social bookmarking for a long time and I love being a Propeller Scout. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions: dcohn1 AT david dot com
I also run my own journalism nonprofit called "Spot Us" which is trying to pioneer "community funded reporting." Check it out and let me know what you think http://spot.us
