We're building grasswire (http://grasswire.com), a real-time newsroom that's curated and fact-checked by everyone.

It's cool because it is unreasonable that in this day and age the information that governs the world is controlled by governments and corporations.

it's cool because social media is ridden with lies, errors and propaganda, and it doesn't make sense that those keep spreading without being refuted.

It's cool because it lets you watch any news event develop in real-time from the point of view of the people on the ground.
