4. Dream up Indymedia 2.0. No more Wikipedia neutrality. Where are the 
social networking sites for activists? The Internet flagship of the 
'other globalization movement', Indymedia, has not changed since its 
inception in late 1999. Of course the website has grown -- there are now 
editions in dozens of languages, with a variety of local and national 
nodes that we rarely see on the Net. But the conceptual basics are 
still the same. The problems have been identified a long time ago: 
there is an ongoing confusion between the alternative news agent model, 
the practical community organization level and strategic debates. All 
too often Indymedia is used as an 'alternative CNN'. There is nothing 
wrong with that, except that the nature of the corporate news industry 
itself is changing.
