http://cluenet.org

The Internet has always been a place for corroboration and communication, but most Internet communities have degraded substantially. There are large numbers of communities devoted exclusively to sexual talk, and others that focus on illegal activities such as attacking servers or piracy.

Python Magazine Lives

http://m0j0.wordpress.com
