You know that information is power and that the pen is mightier than the sword. With DotSpots, you can create "Distributed Objects of Thought," or dots – mini-blog posts that automatically propagate wherever they are relevant.

  • Spot the Truth Spot the Truth
    Find alternative views and in-depth reporting on important issues in the blogosphere. Uncover live-eyewitness videos, photos, or documents on YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, etc.
  • Connect the Dots Connect the Dots
    Create a dot with the information you have uncovered and want to distribute. Connect the dot to any idea, quote or paragraph or text in any news story and watch it propagate to all related news stories across the web.
  • Raise Awareness Raise Awareness
    As readers see dots in context, they gain insights and their awareness increases. Democracy depends upon and aware and active population. Information is power, and distributing information distributes that power.
  • Collaborate and Improve Collaborate and Improve
    Anyone who interacts with a dot can help improve it by proposing an edit. As such, dots are living, evolving objects that improve exponentially as they reach more and more people.
  • Join the Community Join the Community
    Together we can be a million little brothers and sisters watching "Big Brother." (George Orwell never thought about that possibility! ;) Helping to keep information flowing freely and connecting people to it is a form of modern civic duty.

And it's all Free!
