I was reading a series of rants against the tactics of PublishAmerica on Keith Snyder's Blog, and I found myself thinking about the debates among progressives about activism vs the political system. My mind also wandered to Web 2.0 and the "long tail."

I don't really have a great suggestion here, but I'd be interested to know if there is a venue for fiction that makes use of the social capital similar to what makes youtube and flickr so wonderful.
