Well, corporate re-posts, one hidden recently was about 'going to war with
Iran', I am happy to see this on the newswire as it is of interest to me and I
don't to be honest look much at other news sites appart from indymedia 
or other
alternative sites, so if I didn't see that on indymedia, it would have 
passed me
by.

Well, at the next west london indymedia screening I am involved with, maybe
there could be an internet enabled work station, and people could be 
introduced
this way to the website, and encouraged to post a report then and there.

Also there was a posting recently regarding a situation effecting 
people near me
(325648), how could I approach them with further encouragement to post more
updates/background info?
