Places on Epinions to write about recent events.

I commend Epinions for creating three new categories for members to write about the events of September 11, 2001.


To write about:
What online resources are available where people can find information about loved ones who may have been directly affected by the September 11th terrorist incidents?
September 11, 2001 U.S. Terrorist Attacks - Online Information Resources

To write about:
What local resources can individuals contact to lend their help during the difficult time following the September 11th terrorist incidents?
September 11, 2001 U.S. Terrorist Attacks - How to Help Locally

To write about:
What steps might parents and schools take to explain the situation surrounding the September 11th terrorist incidents to children?
September 11, 2001 U.S. Terrorist Attacks - Helping Children Understand


*I have not spent too much time on EP these last few days so I apologize if others already knew about these sections. There are only a handful of reviews there, but even if one does not wish to write it might still be helpful to read them.

I am glad to see there is someone besides me who appreciates what epinions is doing. I think that making these catagories showes that they are trying in their own way to help the community.

that really is wonderful. i haven't been on eps in the last few days--i've spent all my free time watching the TV coverage. but i am so glad to see this gesture. it's a nice reminder, amongst all our usual complaining, that there are actual PEOPLE running epinions.

I don't intend to write in any of these categories. Honestly...there is so much on tv and in the newspapers. Sat. at 10:00 programming will be focused around talking with children.

Also do people know that if you have My Points you can donate them to the Red Cross..that's all I have to say...I certainly hope people aren't profitting by writing in these categories. I haven't been able to get on this morning so I don't know where they are located.

I don't think the point of those topics is to inform everyone on what's going on but to let those who desire to put their thoughts down and let everyone read them.

I pulled the links from the front page. I don't know which category they will end up in eventually. I'm guessing Epinions' priority was to make them as accessible as possible as quickly as possible.

I haven't heard that mentioned, but you may wish to add it to the thread in the cafe:
Epinions Partners with Amazon.com & others for Red Cross Donations

I didn't notice if there was an indication on that one way or the other.

I thought they were put there to keep people from cluttering other real product categories with off-topic reviews.

People were going to post about this on Epinions whether there was a category for it or not. This will help the overall health of Epinions in the long run.

I wrote in one of those topics and it was a healing moment to be able to share my opinion and write about it.
