some sites of interest....and a solicitation of sorts (but not that sort)

Ah...and here's a (radically non-exhaustive) listing of some of the sites that might make a shortlist for my endeavors here (focusing on the explicitly 'anarchist' in the following instances, though I'm nt married to that criteria):

anarchiststrategy.blogspot.com
infoshop.org
anarkhia.org
voixdesfaits.blogspot.com
nefacmtl.blogspot.com
flag.blackened.net
www.anarchistblackcat.org
libcom.org
crimethinc.com
www.anti-politics.net [ETC...]

some of these, especially the Montreal-associated (anarkhia, nefacmtl, voixdesfaits) pose the problems noted above (newsfeed/message-board formats, one-way - even if decentralized - communication); others provide a commentary/discussion venue. I'd still be interested in finding (a) site(s) which incorporate more of the technological potential to bring people together and let them loose...but a jumping-off point, at least!

Does anyone out there (in here reading) have any leads, clues, links, or other avenues that might both deal with these kinds of issues and present a good deal of regular interaction in the form of discussion, commentary, video-postings, creative online and offline forms of contention however manifested?

  1. Maybe you could follow a few of these sites through a current political issue - like the riots in Greece? Or rebellions against Concordia's administration? (I found sosconcordia.blogspot.com tagged in a concordia stairwell.)

    By following a particular political issue, it might make it easier to track the connections people make through these sites.
