Congratulations! You are among the first one thousand souls to sign up for Independents Day. You are a special snowflake.
ID is not a portal.
ID is not a content portal. Good content portals already exist. We have no plans to compete with i2k, Soul of the Web, or others. We would rather work with them.
ID is not a design portal. Good design portals already exist. We have no plans to compete with Linkdup, Three.oh, or others. We would rather work with them.
ID is not a discussion forum like Dreamless or Metafilter. ID is not a formal reinvigoration of the web like Reboot. ID is not a competition like Communication Arts or the Webbies. ID is not a festival like SXSW or NMUF, though it may interact with these festivals.
What is ID?
ID is a concept. ID is a goal. We plan to promote, support, and increase public awareness of independent content and design through live events, digital events, and crass, unashamed manipulation of the mainstream media.
Above all, ID is a human network, established mainly by your faith.
Thank you for joining us. Please stand by.
Just got this e-mail from ID. I am excited to be part of somethig that has no shape... something that is forming. I have always like stuff like this. Just plain cool.
