Spot.us is going live today, Nov. 10, and it could be the wave of the future as far as new journalism goes. It uses "crowdfunding" to collect small donations from large numbers of people to support stories you might not see anywhere else.
I have two pitches on the site: One about the Cosco Busan oil spill a year ago in the bay, and another about the cost of solar power for homeowners. Check out the site and see what you think. It’s a good way to fund journalism you might not see elsewhere.
