New Social News Site, Weoped.com, Raises the Level of Online Political Debate

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 29, 2008 -- Tapping into the excitement of the 2008 Presidential Elections, We Op-Ed (http://www.weoped.com) is quickly establishing itself as an open community for those seeking an alternative source of news where every member's voice counts. In contrast to the top-down approach of media sites and mainstream news, We Op-Ed defines itself as "A Marketplace of Opinions, Built from the Ground Up."

Launching out of its Beta version in early May, We Op-Ed now boasts a growing and diverse community -- from experienced bloggers who feature their best writing to those who want a proactive alternative to their news - from across the political spectrum. "By fostering vigorous but respectful discussions, we offer a relief from the one-sided political outlook that we get from traditional media. Rather than repeating partisan talking points and headlines in the news, We Op-Ed members engage one another, supplying each other with supplementary perspectives and information," says Justin Krane, 25, who co-founded Weoped LLC with college friend, Geoffrey Barrows.

We Op-Ed offers its members a welcoming platform with a growing list of features, including multiple news feeds on a variety of topics, a user-friend community blog, debate forums, an Amazon bookstore filled with community recommended products, and they have recently announced their first We Op-Ed Contest (http://www.weoped.com/notes/We_Op-Ed%27s_Win-Win_Contest) to reward their most active members.

We Op-Ed welcomes anyone who wants to voice their opinions, to find alternative viewpoints on current events, and to meet others who share similar interests and concerns about the world around them.

Visitors to the site can subscribe to We Op-Ed's RSS feed (http://www.weoped.com/profiles/blog/feed?xn_auth=no) for the latest community articles.
