The impact that sites such as Twitter have had in the spread and dissemination of news has been nothing short of staggering. But the whole way in which tweets have always complemented news articles is about to be taken one step above and beyond.
Flockler is a service that aims to make the insight of people become an integral part of any piece of news. What Flockler does it to enable publishers to create active communities for the covering of local news and events. That is, on Flockler the people are the ones who report on news, and then other members of the community can expand on such news.
It is not like the traditional article/news dynamic in which tweetsare something that goes with the original post as a sort of addendum. Rather, here what people have to say regarding the original post becomes part of it, until the whole post is transformed and a more accurate piece has been built by the whole community.
Topics can be posted on Flockler by just anybody, and using all kind of mobile devices too. And joining Flockler (and inviting others to join discussions) can be done at no cost.
