Kirnu is going to be a socials site for different authors around the World. I'm planning to get Kirnu ready for Alpha users 5/2008.

The idea is to provide a site for articles, which does not have to be news. I'm a member of, for example, Newsvine and NowPublic, but I have personally noticed, that there are several members in those communities, who wish to write also "non news" articles. So I thought, that I could establish a site for all kinds of authors.

I will not allow anything illegal at this site or I will not but after that, I'm not going to control the content of the articles. I'll will not allow companies to advertise their stuff (for free), but at the moment I don't mind, if individuals do some self promotion by writing articles and linking to their own stuff.

And... provocative articles and comments will not just be allowed but wanted. After all - this is Kirnu. 

You can follow the progress of Kirnu from Kirnu documentation.
